Industry watchers all agree that Copy Data Management is becoming must-have technology. But not all solutions are the same. Design matters! This webinar will discuss the two major copy data solution designs, how they are different, and key use cases for both designs. Before you make any buying decisions, you¡¯ll want to understand these differences which will impact the success of your product roll out.

3 Why do we need Copy Data Management? Because this happens
IT Challenge = Copies EVERYWHERE How: Making Copies Production Copy Why: Using Copies Snapshot Copies Full Copies Replica Copies Database Dumps 8 - 12 copies of each data set* Local Recovery Disaster Recovery Dev and Test Reporting Analytics Compliance Training Sandbox, etc. Protection Business Value * Average number of copies based on IDC study
5 Copy Data Management applies Intelligence Automation Centralization to copy creation & use
6 And it helps stop the Revenge of the Clones Hard Disk LUN Snapshot Full Clone Workload Workload Full Clone Workload Workload Reserved for Recovery Full Clone Workload Workload
7 It¡¯s a trap!
Real World Copy Example: Oracle deployment Copy inefficiency at global bank 8 Every 20 TB of Oracle production storage¡­ 10 TB 10 TB Initiates purchase of 340 additional TB for copies 1700% copy overhead!
9 Copy Data Management Snapshot Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Workload Use one copy for multiple workloads But don¡¯t forget about performance needs!
10 Out-of-Band There are two main CDM architectures In-Place Actifio Catalogic DPX Cohesity Rubrik Catalogic ECX DellEMC IBM NetApp
11 Host Server Production Storage CDM Appliance Workload Server Controller Copy Path Access Path Out-of-Band CDM Often, but not always, appliance-based Typically uses a block- incremental backup model Which Catalogic did ten years ago! Usually has a proprietary file system to support snapshots and scale out
12 ¡°Doesn¡¯t that look a lot like regular backup software?¡± Puzzled IT Dude
13 Host Server Production Storage CDM Appliance Workload Server Controller Copy Path Access Path Out-of-Band CDM: Good and Bad Supports any primary storage Adds a new storage stack Backup storage performance can be slow for non-prod workloads Dev-Test: uses a different storage stack Easy access to data copies Backup impacts the host
14 In-Place CDM Gains the benefits of any array data reduction features (varies with array) Manages the snap and copy features of the storage array Maps to the production storage copy (clone) Host Server Production Storage Workload ServerSnapshot: No Data Movement Access Path CDM Software Control Plane ? Application integration ? Automation ? User self-service ? APIs
15 In-Place CDM: Good and Bad Does not require a new storage stack Dev-Test: uses the same storage stack as production Host Server Production Storage Workload ServerSnapshot: No Data Movement Access Path CDM Software Control Plane Near zero impact to host May not support the arrays you have Easy access to copies Same performance as production (assuming flash storage)
16 ¡°But what if I¡¯m not allowed to do other work on production storage?¡±Puzzled IT Dude
17 In-Place CDM with Replication Gains the benefits of any array data reduction features (varies with array) Manages the replication features of the array Maps to the production storage copy (clone) Production Storage Workload Server Replication Access Path Non-Prod Array (same vendor) Clone Uses non-prod copy for workloads
In-Place CDM Benefits to Software Development Out-of-Band CDM Dev-Test Production Storage 3rd Party Storage Stack Application Copy Application Return ? How will application behave when developed on a different storage stack? ? How do you test performance? In-Place CDM Production Storage Application Copy Application Return Production Storage Dev-Test ? Develop on identical storage stack, so no surprises!
19 ¡°So what¡¯s the bottom line?¡± Puzzled IT Dude
20 Out-of-Band Things to Consider In-Place If you are already looking for a new backup solution If your non-production workloads don¡¯t require a lot of performance If you want to better leverage the storage investment you already made If your non-production workloads require same or similar performance as prod If you do a lot of in-house software development
21 Whatever your choice, a Copy Data Management Solution is a smart idea

Editor's Notes

  • #5: The customer challenge is fairly simple to explain: there are too many copies of data. If you look on the left side, you see that there are many processes that go into the making of data copies. Beginning with the production copy, you have full copies being made, you have snapshot copies, replication copies, database dumps in the case of database workloads. The end result is that a typical workload produces anywhere from 8 to 12 copies. But why are we making these copies? Partly we are making copies for protection purposes. There are usually copies made for local recovery as well as remote or DR recovery. But these only form a part of the copy landscape. The truth is that most copies are created to help drive business value. These copies are used for multiple purposes, such dev and test, reporting and analytics, compliance purposes, training and so on. There are many different business drivers that result in multiple copies being created.
