VM Data Protection Remains a Key Challenge VM technology is pervasive across the enterprise – 39% of total VM’s in production today, 58% within 24 months (ESG, 2011)
The scale of the challenge is greater than ever – Most companies have more than 100 VM’s (ESG, 2011)
Virtualization is the top priority for IT in 2001 (ESG, 2011) – Represents a key opportunity for QTM

Virtualization creates protection complexities
– Dynamic VMs create more data, much is temporary and redundant – VMs and their data often need separate treatment – Specialized methodologies, tools, agents, ISVs are proliferating rapidly—not all provide
backup, DR, retention – Results are complex integration, increased costs, islands of data
Customer needs vary by use case – In heavily virtualized edge sites: limited backup tools, infrastructure and IT
– Need simple protection recovery and system for DR – In data centers: physical and virtual mixed, legacy backup applications in place
– Need streamlined VM recovery and better consolidation

Pancetera Technology Background Company founded by engineers from Data Domain, Legato
Created advanced technology designed to optimize and simplify the protection and recovery of virtual machines – Present a consolidated file system view – Optimize the VM’s – Maintain copies in native VM form
Synergistic with Quantum deduplication and replication
Acquired by Quantum in June 2011

The Technology: File System VM View
Any backup application
Provides File System View of all VMs Auto-discovers VMs in all locations
Provides admin view across hypervisors, groups, etc Presents view to any application (i.e., backup app)
ESX Hosts and associated VM’s
5
The Technology: Optimization of VM Data
Progressive optimization – Patented technology interacts
with the file system metadata inside VMs to manage blocks
– Filters out inactive, unassigned and deleted data when it is read by any application—reduces data to backup by up to 75% or more
– Accelerates backups and optimizes use of disk, server, and network
– Arranges blocks to increase deduplication rates—highly synergistic with Quantum deduplication
Live VM Changed blocks Optimized Read

Optimization Real-World Results
Protected 2.5TB, avoided transferring 1.7TB of unassigned/useless data Reduced Primary Storage I/O and network load by 68%
7
The Technology: Native VM Copy
Creates copy of VMs on any NAS storage Schedule based Data is available in native, file system view – VMs are bootable – Image backup, file by file
access – Data can be used for any
application (recovery, test environment, archive, etc.)

Applying the Technology for Small or Remote Sites: vmPRO 4000
Turnkey simplicity, advanced technology, leading value
VM backup software and storage target in one integrated solution
- Turnkey VM protection - No need to integrate separate pieces - No need for specialized VM software or
separate servers
Optimized for smaller sites—SMB or remote offices
- New model more than doubles capacity with non-disruptive scaling—up to 12TB
vmPRO 4510 – 2TB usable vmPTO 4601 – 4, 8, or 12 TB with cap on demand - Support for vSphere5
Includes full deduplication capability for backup retention
- Allows local retention for months

Scalable vmPRO 4000 for Smaller Sites
Includes DR Protection Capability DR protection for VMs difficult with other approaches vmPRO 4000 includes encrypted replication in base price for
automated, off-site protection Can replicate to other vmPRO 4000 or to DXi in edge-to-core
Enterprise deployments

Preserves Value of Legacy Systems
vmPRO 4000 can support multiple applications – Legacy backup software sees VMs
directly—no agent needed – Other apps benefit from progressive
optimization for faster backup, less disk needed
Users can consolidate storage pool for physical and virtual server backup – Replication provides both with DR
protection

Concert Pharma’s Previous Challenges
VM backup solution did not play well with gen1 dedupe appliance – Forced to do custom scripting to copy snapshots of full VMs to dedupe appliance
Poor performance – Slow backup times, VERY slow to restore from dedupe appliance
Surprisingly short retention, disappointing compression – 2 days for Exchange server, 1 week for other critical systems
21
Concert Pharma’s New Solution
Benefits of Quantum Pancetera + DXi solution Simplified data protection process
– Appliance-based approach, simple NAS interface – Works with native VMDK files, not proprietary blobs of data – Protected all VMs with single solution
Improved performance – Cut VM backup time to minutes, able to backup Exchange in one hour
Increased on-site and off-site retention to 3 months Reduced data protection costs with simple solution
