Slide 34

File-Level Deduplication and Compression Architecture Deduplication
processes: Policy engine scans all production files looking for
data that meets certain criteria: Last accessed/modified time,
minimum/ maximum size, file extension, directory Or, files selected
via API Candidates are compressed Duplicated files are removed by
using SHA-1 or byte-by-byte data comparison Stubs point to files in
the hidden deduplication store Deduplication is transparent to
clients: Process runs in the background Files pre- and post
processing look the same Hidden deduplication store is a working
area that is not visible Reads decompress data in memory, not on
disk Writes are stored alongside deduplicated data Modifying one
instance of a file has no impact on other deduplicated instances

Deduplication and Compression: Data Modification File modification
does not cause file to be reinflated: Allows targeting large files
(Terabytes sized), and files that may show some level of activity
while preserving user experience on access to these files
Deduplicated files can be modified while still preserving
commonality: New data is stored alongside old File is either
reinflated or reprocessed when new+old reaches logical file size:
Reinflated if selected for deduplication by the internal policy
engine Reprocessed if selected for deduplication via API File Data

Protection
Slide 37
37 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. VNXe:
Takes Care of the Complexities of Data Protection Problem:
Calculating the space required for data protection is complicated.
It require formulas and an intimate understanding of underlying
snapshot and replication technology. Typical Result: Data
Protection either gets slapped together in a probably should work
fashion, or a Professional Services engagement is required. VNXe
eliminates complexity by: Integrating best practices for
provisioning data protection reserve space Easy to configure
snapshot schedules and Application Consistent Snapshots Simplified
replication configuration and management
Slide 38
38 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. VNXe
provisioning best practices also cover Data Protection storage
Application specific best practices for data protection space. Thin
provisioning aware: Applications using thin provisioning will not
require as much data protection storage. Auto-adjustment of Data
Protection space as your production storage resource grows Data

Snapshots
Slide 40
40 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. Shared
Folder snapshots use Copy On first Write (COW) Snapshot creation
and deletion is very quick The space required for snapshots
continues to grow as changes are made to the production volume
iSCSI snapshots use Redirect on Write (ROW) Snapshot creation is
very quick Perfect for your latency sensitive applications
Snapshots dont grow once created The differences between Shared
Folder & iSCSI snapshots
Slide 41

Example: VNXe Shared Folder Snapshot Provides a read-only or
read-write, point-in-time view of data File system-level or iSCSI
LUN view Multiple snapshot versions 96 r/o + 16 r/w Typically has a
10% capacity overhead Primary applications include Simple user
initiated file un-deletes Efficient logical backup and restore Copy
on first write technology Avoids fragmentation of primary FS One
side file data protection space for all file system snaps Automatic
extension of data protection space Online full file system instant

Snapshots Consistency Options Crash consistent snapshots VNXe
provides the ability to create manual and scheduled crash
consistent snapshots through Unisphere Shared Folder: Crash
consistent snaps are acceptable iSCSI: Good for an emergency. Only
applicable to applications with a single virtual disk
Slide 43
43 Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
Snapshots and Application Consistency iSCSI Application consistent
snapshots Using 3 rd party backup applications Leverages the VSS
framework for Microsoft Applications to create Hardware Snapshots
for the application Preferred Solution: Using the Application
Protection Suite Application protection Suite includes Replication
Manager (RM) software An RM agent runs on the host, which
guarantees the applications using the storage are quiesced prior to
creating snapshots Leverages the VSS framework for Microsoft
Applications For applications with multiple virtual disks,
Application Sets ensure consistency across all the storage
resources Exchange will automatically undergo snapshot consistency
checks following the creation of the snapshot
