TimeFinder Family

TimeFinder/Clone• Full-volume, point-in-time copies• Can be RAID 5-protected• Support for TimeFinder/Mirror scripts via emulation

mode

TimeFinder/Mirror• Storage-based information replication; no host cycles• Clean copy

– Database integrity and consistent split– Can be used for reads, writes, changes

• Efficient synchronization– Changes to the tracks on the standard and BCVs (1–8) are

recorded– Restore can be selected in either direction– Either volume can immediately be accessed;

no waiting for tracks to be copied for use

• Instant Restore– Capable of instant restart, reboot– No waiting for recovery to start restore– Provides safe BCV (write protected)

• OS/390 snap capability—volume or dataset

TimeFinder/Snap• Snapshots create logical point-in-time

images of a source volume• Requires only a fraction of the source

volume’s capacity (~20–30%)• Multiple snapshots can be created

from a source volume and are available immediately

• Snapshots support both read and write processing• Supports mainframe and open systems host environments• Complements TimeFinder/Mirror and provides unmatched

replication flexibility

SRDF Family

SRDF Family Add-on OptionsSRDF/Star establishes an incremental SRDF/A session between two remote

locations in a multi-site concurrent SRDF/S and SRDF/A relationship upon primary site failure; results in shorter time to restore protected operations between the two remote data centers, along with a lower RPO

SRDF/Consistency Groups maintain data coherency across SRDF Family-based configuration by managing data propagation from the source volumes to corresponding target volumes to ensure data consistency and restartability

SRDF/Automated Replication for rapid business restart over any distance with no data exposure, through advanced single-hop and multi-hop configurations using combinations of TimeFinder/Mirror and SRDF/S and/or SRDF/DM

SRDF/Cluster Enabler for high availability and automated failover through storage-based replication and server clustering via SRDF/S and MSCS or VCS

DatabaseXtender Optimizer • Automatically and transparently prunes inactive data from the

application database based on customer policies • Relocates inactive information to a secondary database, and

ensures transparent access to the relocated information through the native application

• Establishes data-retention policies at the database-transaction level

DatabaseXtender Subsetter • Generates specific subsets of the production application for

other environments, such as testing• Delivers application-granular, real-time, point-in-time copies

with transactional and relational integrity

DatabaseXtender Archiver • Encapsulates the data with its reference data to ensure

searchability for compliance or other discovery purposes• Stores data in an .xml format• Information is independent of the production application• Moves information from the secondary database to longer-term

storage, which could include ATA disk, Centera storage, or tape


OnCourse

OnCourse• Software that enables secure, reliable, automated distribution of CIFS or NFS files

between heterogeneous systems across IP networks• Data can be moved and replicated between two or more systems, aggregated from

many systems to a central node, or distributed to many nodes from a central system

How It Works• Centrally managed, heterogeneous file transfer across IP networks• Policy-based automation and scheduling• Multiple layers of security; firewall-friendly; guaranteed delivery• Scalability to support thousands of servers and millions of files• Integration with existing infrastructure applications and workflows

Results• Collect data back to a central source for improved responsiveness and centralized

operations, such as consolidated backup• Simplify IT administration with centralized management and fewer remote backup

systems• Improve accuracy and timeliness of data transfers to distributed systems• Enhance information reliability and service-level agreements with partners and

customers• Manage software upgrades to thousands of systems


Consolidation

Before• Hard to manage• Limited information sharing• Low resource usage• Hard to protect• Inefficient use of staff resources

After• Management efficiencies enable redeployment of

Systems Administrators• Cost savings through server consolidation• Information sharing for increased productivity• Ability to manage information growth without

increasing staff• Faster delivery of new applications or content

Tiered Consolidation

Direct-Attached Storage• Individual applications and

operating system• Significant costs are incurred

in hardware, maintenance, and associated software licenses

• IT organizations with flat headcount struggle to keep pace with growth

Networked Storage• Significant savings in

storage, servers, software licenses, and maintenance

• Better people productivity • Centralized management

Multiple SANs • Disparate islands

of information • Usage rates are

low—or unknown• Each SAN delivers

a fixed level of performance, availability, and cost

Tiered Consolidation Based on Service Levels

• Implementing a SAN consolidates disparate islands of information

• Improve usage and centralize management

Content Management

Before• Content is subject to specific retention

issues• Magnetic media does not guaranteed

content authenticity• No concurrent sharing of data• Expensive and difficult to manage• Maintain multiple copies on disparate

media (magnetic and optical solutions ) • Poor storage density

After• Improved content accessibility • Much faster retrieval time than HSM /

optical / tape solutions• Reduce liability exposure by deleting

objects on a timely, controlled basis• Higher storage density• TCO is lowered with ATA drives and a

self-configuring, self-managing, and self-healing environment

• Content authenticity and retention will more easily meet regulatory requirements

Before• Managing enterprise content is slow and labor-intensive• Content type often requires its own storage infrastructure• Shared content must be duplicated, raising storage costs

After• Management streamlined• Content stored and routed based on user-defined workflow • Shared storage infrastructure optimizes cost

Business Consistency

Before• Backup and restore historically did

not take into account the growing interdependency of application data

• Restarting a business from individually backed-up applications meant restoring the data from whatever point in time those applications were backed up

• Manual resynchronizing of applications to resolve differences; this process could take days

After• Backing up all application data at a

single point in time • Restart the business more quickly and

efficiently• No manual resolve of inconsistencies

between applications• Define a portfolio of applications—

where the data is interrelated—and backup or restore the data from those applications from a single, consistent point in time

ATA and CLARiiON Disk Library—Backup and Restore from Disk

ATA Used for Backup and Restore• ATA disks

– Low-cost desktop-PC disk technology– Less performance than Fibre Channel disks– Ideal for bringing offline data online

• CLARiiON with ATA– Mix and match with Fibre Channel Disk

Array Enclosures (DAEs)– All CLARiiON functionality and availability

from day one– RAID protection for data– CLARiiON high-availability architecture – Lower-cost SnapView and MirrorView

targets– Replication Manager/Local and Replication

• How it works:– Backup application reads / writes from disk

instead of tape; backup and restore onsite to disk

Archive tape to remote offsite Simplifies environment

CLARiiON Disk Library• Plug and play

– Supports existing backup environment– Appears as tape library (Fibre Channel

attached)– Stores data in native tape format– Complete compatibility with existing

operation

• High performance – Single-stream performance up to 80 MB/s– Up to 425 MB/s sustained performance

• Cost-effective, reliable, and highly scalable

– Data compression (up to 3:1)– Capacity:

DL300: 12.5–37.5 TB DL700: 58–174 TB

– Built on proven CLARiiON ATA technology

• Creates native tape for offsite storage– Policy-based implementation– Automatic single process for moving data

from backup environment to native tape– Offloads creation of second copy from

backup server
