Unreliable Labor Intensive

ExpensiveSlow


Legacy BDR Pain: Unreliable

• Hardware failures– Hard disks have a 4-year failure rate of 8% -

41%– RAID cards causing odd errors & data

corruption– Power supplies & cooling fans

• Software complexity– Software from multiple vendors to correctly

configure– Many moving parts to monitor & diagnose

• Chain-based backup fallout– Unexpected reboots, server restores, or other

events force rebasing and/or reseeding

Poll to rank most

freq. cause of

unreliability


Legacy BDR Pain: Labor Intensive

• Unbox it, physically setup• Windows first run, patching• Configure network & RMM tools• Download & install all software• Provision licenses & cloud accounts• Burn-in testing• Install agents, reboot servers• Take base images, perform seeds

Poll: how many minutes to

setup new BDR from scratch


Legacy BDR Pain: Slow

• BDR storage today is archival-class storage– Economical, but simply not architected for

production levels of performance• Typical BDR provides 100 IOPS for a

virtualized VM, equivalent to single HDD– Take the diskspd benchmark challenge:

diskspd -b8K -d3600 -o8 -t8 -h -r -w25 -L -Z3G -c100G Poll: average time to

have customer back in production after

they call you with an IT failure

Poll: VM performance while virtualized on a

BDR?(much slower, slow, same,

faster, much faster)


Legacy BDR Pain: Expensive

• Expensive to buy– 1 TB RAID1 HDD storage– 4 core i5 processor– 16 GB RAM– $1600 - $2000 upfront and ~$200/month

• Expensive to operate– Manual DR & boot testing– No single pane of glass to monitor & manage– Frequent rebasing or reseeding– System down events turn into all-night

marathons

Next-gen BDRTechnologies


• Enterprise SSDs 5x more expensive

• Client SSDs unreliable for server workloads

• IOPS deterioration as drive fills up over time

• 10x write-amplification effects running RAID on top of SSDs, wears out SSDs quickly

Why not just use consumer-grade SSDs?
