Challenges in Data Protection 3 IL B05 Reshaping Data Protection


Considerations of current challenges

Copyright 2013 FUJITSU

What drives

change

What to consider

75 % of data are backup data

Limited backup windows

Performance and organization issues in restore processes

Need for flexible service levels (cost vs. speed)

Reduce costs for infrastructure and administration

Compliance requirements demand a trusted long term storage (IT archive)

Higher availability levels for the data

Disaster protection for backup and archives

60% annual data growth

Budget constraints

Importance of IT for business success

IL B05 Reshaping Data Protection 4


Servers

It started so simple …


A media server with backup software writes data on a tape system

Media Servers

Tape Libraries

… then it went bigger …

Servers

More servers and more data require

More media servers

More tape libraries for capacity and especially for performance reasons

Media Server

Media Server




Disk Libraries

… then complexity knocked on your door …

Media Servers

Tape Libraries

Servers

Disk libraries are added as additional targets for faster recovery time

This requires complex programming defining which data are to be written on which target

A complex matrix of servers, software and target systems evolves

Technology changes on one end is impacting the whole system

Maintenance efforts and costs are rising exponentially

How to solve the challenges originating from complex data protection infrastructures


1. Virtualize target systems

2. Consolidate target systems

3. Separate the data management on target systems from the backup software

4. Automate data availability and disaster recovery

5. Introduce a future prove concept

What IDC says about ETERNUS CS High End


IDC analyst paper available at the Internet

“…Instead of just trying to solve one problem, the

company [ Fujitsu] has produced a long-term vision for data protection…”

“…[ETERNUS CS High End] is highly differentiated against the competition, most of which offer a set of different products to address all these needs…”

“IDC believes that the combination of these features and benefits is unique.”

How ETERNUS CS High End works


Disk Storage Repository

Mainframes UNIX Servers

X86 Servers

Tape Library (Type X, Y, Z) Dedup disk

A virtualization layer for backup and archive target systems

Data are written first to the internal

disk storage

Highest performance (up to 93 TB/h)

Then ETERNUS CS High End takes

over the data management

Writes data automatically to one or

several local or remote targets

Tape for most economic use

Migration to

ETERNUS CS

Lufthansa Systems Copyright 2012 FUJITSU



Migration NetBackup

Integration of 3 NetBackup Masters into new

environment

Migration duration: 6 months overall

(w/o set-up , installation and testing)

Stealthy migration:

– Connection of 1. master to ETERNUS CS

– Observation of the master and backup migrations

– Connection of 2. und 3. master to ETERNUS CS

– Migration of all backups to the new environment

– Reduction of drives connected to both masters after storing monthly backups onto ETERNUS CS

– Duplication of remaining long term backups

– Switch off the old environment




Migration Mainframe

Real and VSM drives will be used for reading of

data only

Migration was done via VSM Tapereq

Library control via CSC connection

No change in application jobs

Cartridges with expiration date of more than 6

weeks manually copied via Tapecopy Software

HSM ML2 and backup via HSM recycle

Migration duration incl. set up and test: 4

months

Customer impacts: NONE




Production improvements

Better utilization of backup windows due to higher

amount of (virtual) drives

Faster backups due to high performing servers

Restore of data from ETERNUS CS internal cache

significantly faster

Higher data protection due to dual save on

physical tapes

Extensive savings of service costs on the backend

level




Open Topics

Communication between NetBackup

and ETERNUS CS to be further

improved

Currently, reasonable administration

and monitoring of the systems with in-

house developed GUI only

Restore of data stored on physical

tape only takes longer than restore of

native physical tape




ETERNUS CS and NetBackup – the Standard at Lufthansa Systems

All Backup environments with

NetBackup and ETERNUS CS

New environments are going to be

planned based on this standard

The combination of NetBackup and

ETERNUS CS is an outstanding

solution for Lufthansa Systems
