What key use cases exploit cloud infrastructure?

Cloud Data Protection Considerations

What are key value propositions?

Economics / Budgeting• CAPEX to OPEX (pay for what you need)

• Leverage economies of scale• Predictable cost

Flexibility / Consumability• Rapid elasticity (ability to scale quickly)• On-demand self service

Risk Reduction• Store data remotely for DR (geographically dispersed)• Eliminate lost tape exposure

Service Levels• Standardized / measured services

• Potential to improve RTOEliminate time to retrieve tape from offsite vaultEliminate time to restore Spectrum Protect server (node replication target)

• Recovery in the cloud (re. WAN bandwidth considerations)

What are high level environment considerations?

How can you protect cloud environments with Spectrum Protect?• SoftLayer, Amazon, Microsoft, …• VMware VCD/VCAC, OpenStack,, BlueMix, Docker, …

How can Spectrum Protect use cloud infrastructure?• SoftLayer, Amazon, Microsoft, ….• On-prem IaaS: OpenStack Swift scale out COTS object storage

What is the delivery model (private, public, hybrid)?• Location of data to protect / location of server / location storage pool• Who owns and manages the infrastructure?

Is data protection centrally managed across private, public, hybridenvironments?

Additional considerations…• Standardize data protection services• Privacy / security requirements• Backup window / RTO (re. amount of data / bandwidth requirements)



What are typical adoption models?

Hybrid Cloud (D2D2C)• Cloud tier (e.g. tape alternative) for Spectrum Protect in data-center / remote

office • Leverage local backups for most recoveries / recovery in cloud considerations,

use cloud for archive copies• Disaster recovery: Spectrum Protect node replication target hosted in the cloud

(potentially using cloud object storage)

Offer standardized XaaS consumption model for backup, archive, DR, …• Improved self service consumption model for user / customer• Standardized service offerings provide efficiencies• BaaS (backup as a service), AaaS (archive as a service), DRaaS (disaster

recovery as a service), RaaS (recovery as a service)

Protect workloads hosted in the cloud• Provide common approach for on-prem / cloud data protection

Cloud Data Protection Use Cases

Use Case Explanation

Leveraging IaaS -Cloud Based Storage

Cloud object storage as electronic vault (D2C or D2D2C)Tape alternative for older backups or archives

Leveraging IaaS –Hosted in the Cloud

Spectrum Protect server hosted in cloud:• Initial backup target (backup to the cloud)• Node replication target (disaster recovery to the cloud)

Data Protection forCompute Clouds

Protect data hosted in OpenStack, SoftLayer, Amazon, Microsoft, Google

Backup as a ServiceArchive as a Service

Portal offers standardized service• Self-service subscription, monitoring, charge back / show

back• Service could apply to on-prem or cloud hosted data• Service provided by customer, 3rd party MSP or IBM

Disaster Recovery asa Service

Portal offers standardized service• DR ops managed as a service (managed node replication

tgt)

Monitoring andAnalytics as a Service

Monitor / manage TSM server from the cloud


What is object storage?

• Characteristics• Data managed as objects in containers vs. file system hierarchies or disk• blocks

• Each object has data, associated metadata and a globally unique identifier• REST API interface to create/delete/get objects

• Public / private cloud deployment options (rent, purchase, lease)• Potential advantages: cost, scalability, elasticity, resiliency / durability

(replication / erasure coding)• Examples: OpenStack Swift (used by SoftLayer), Amazon S3 / Glacier,

Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Storage / Nearline, …• Spectrum Protect’s object storage support

• 7.1.3: native object storage support (Swift / SoftLayer) based on next gen

deduplication / container storage pools• Alternative: via cloud gateway

23.10.2015

Where does a cloud storage tier fit?

Start with disk• Minimize backup window / improve RTO• Deduplication• Ideal for instant recovery

Tape has its place• Durability, reliability, performance,

scalability and portability considerations• Additional labor / OPEX considerations• Good consideration for long term retention

Cloud storage tierPrimary copy• D2C – typically used when high bandwidth

between server and object storage• D2D2C – typically used when lower

bandwidth between server and object storage

DR copy• D2C - server replicates data to node

replication target hosted in cloud using cloud storage

Private Cloud Storage• High bandwidth / high throughput /lower latency• Low RTO• May not need encryption• Typical usage• Scale out commodity based

storage• Primary or DR copy

Public Cloud Storage• Requires encryption• Longer RTO based on bandwidth• Potential for in cloud retrieval of

data• Typical usage• Tape alternative• Long term retention, older

backups, DR copy• Remote office


What are cloud storage gateways?

Container-based duplication pools in 7.1.3


Cloud-based storage pools in 7.1.3

• “Cloud” storage pools will exploit object-storage APIs provided by cloud, without need for gateway

• Native cloud storage support based on container pools (not enabled for use as copy pool or database

backup media)

• Initial support: D2C

• OpenStack Swift, including SoftLayer

• Client backup/restore, archive/retrieve directly to/from object-storage pool

• Server-side encryption to protect data at rest

Native support for cloud object storage without gateway

23.10.2015

9


Storage tiers using native cloud-based storage pools

Staging of data in on-premises disk pool followed by transfer of “least-used” data to off-premises object storage (D2D2C)

1. During ingest, deduplicated data is stored in on-premises container pool2. “Least-used” data is transferred to off-premises cloud storage pool

Candidate 1H2016• Enables cloud storage tier


Native support for additional cloud environments

Candidate 1H2016 Future Candidate

• Increased flexibility for cloud-based storage pools

Spectrum Protect Server Hosted in Cloud


Exploitation of WAN acceleration

• WAN acceleration software solutions, including IBM Aspera, offer high-speed data transfer in network environments with packet loss or high latency

• When used with Spectrum Protect, WAN acceleration software could allow optimal data transfer where distance or degraded network conditions adversely impact transfer over TCP

• Software solution would avoid need for additional WAN acceleration hardware• Spectrum Protect team is investigating possible use of WAN acceleration software for

1. Replication between Spectrum Protect servers2. Data transfer between Spectrum Protect clients and server

• Optimized data transfer in situations involving packet loss or latency

23.10.2015

Metadata-only node replication with storage reference

• Reduces data transferred by Spectrum Protect replication• Facilitates use of replication by cloud storage or hardware Candidate 2H2016


Butterfly Enhancements for Cloud Use Cases

Butterfly AER for Cloud Environments

• Visualization of hybrid cloud / cloud options

in the AER target design

• Compares current environment withrecommended target cloud environment, while providing a roadmap for migrating there

• Identifies potential risks across backup and storage infrastructures

• AER updated to include Next Generation Deduplication target environments

• Provides 3 year cost ownership assessment
