WAFL, Snapshot, and FlexClone:The Foundation

NetApp’s Unique DNA:

� Snapshot™ Technology:

– Near instantaneous, point-in-time

“copy” of file system (vol) or LUN

– Read-only

� SnapRestore®:

– Near instantaneous “rollback” of

vol or LUN to prior Snapshot copy

� FlexClone®:

– Near instantaneous, WRITABLE

“copy” of vol or LUN

– Same space-sharing

Activision Reduces Application Test &

Development from Days to Hours� Challenge

– Needed several copies of production data for testing and development

– Cloning process was unreliable, took days to complete and required substantial amounts of storage

� Solution– Leverage NetApp SnapMirror to mirror data to

test environment

– Used FlexClone to create several copies of Oracle eBusiness suite instances

– Used Snapshots to perform daily backups

� Benefits– Improved Oracle application time to market

� Reduced test and development process from 3 days to less than 4 hours

– Substantial storage savings

� SnapMirror and FlexClone stores changed blocks

– Improved flexibility with FlexClone

� Create clones from multiple sources (production, mirror, Snapshots)

– Reduced risk with frequent Snapshots

� Test patches, easy to roll back to previous known good copy
