• Storage Director is a high performance, software defined, policy-based and tiered backup virtualization solution that enables data from any host, OS or backup application, to be backed up to any storage device, medium or technology, including IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS), Hitachi Content Platform (Object Storage) or any S3 compatible private or public cloud target. Storage Director is a fully virtualized target for any backup application such as Spectrum Protect, NetBackup, Commvault, Veeam, etc. as well as BRMS for IBM Power i and enables policy-based data pools to be created and backed up to multiple targets and replicated for remote storage and DR

• Storage Director is unique in being able to present a single target / solution for backing up ALL open environments, such as Linux, Windows, UNIX, etc. as well as proprietary host platforms, such as HPE NonStop, IBM Power i/iSeries/AS400, Mainframe z/OS, HPE VMS, HPE SuperdomeX etc. on a single node

• Storage Director has been certified with IBM COS by IBM Alliance Integration Team (AIT) and HCP by Hitachi Vantara

• Storage Director’s extreme backup and restore (Read and Write) performance allows backup data to be written to object storage solutions on premise or to public clouds like AWS, Google, Azure and IBM with high speeds. Additionally, the caching capability allows for reducing or eliminating ingress and egress fees

Backup Servers

IBM Cloud Object Storage, HCP, AWS, Tape, NAS File Shares, Dedup disk, etc.

Cache (disk or solid state flash)

The Front-End presents virtual devices native to the backup management application (BMA) being used in each open environment. This also includes BRMS on iSeries and DFSMS and CA on Mainframe z/OS

InfiniCache® proprietary, copyrighted Cache striping technology provides industry-leading performance and a staging area for data prior to sending it to archival media

Back End

The Back-End provides a media manager to Interface to a wide variety of target devices and media. These include IBM COS, HCP (with an optimized interface with large block size), any S3 compatible cloud target like AWS, SAN/NAS devices, dedup disk and tape libraries

Data Staging to/from Physical Back-end Devices

Stage 1

Data will stay here if it is virtual only (SD Cache)

Data will pass to this stage if it is a Real Backed Virtual (RBV). Reside on virtual and physical devices

Stage 2

RBV s will eventually reside on IBM COS, HCP, AWS or back end device only

Stage 3 Physical Tape

Restore Data

Restore Data

Restores comes back directly from the physical device not restored thru SD cache!

• Disk or flash cache only

• Real Backed Virtual (Virtual to Physical)

• Pinned

• Bypass Mode (Managing Legacy Devices)

• Encryption (AES256)

• Compression (Disk Cache only or Disk Cache to Physical)

• NAS Device

• Replication (DR)

– Each of these policies, or combinations thereof, plus the physical storage type, could define a storage pool for the application

Primary Use Cases • High performance front end ingestion and caching for object storage solutions on

premise and on public Cloud

– Improves Read and Write performance to COS or HCP by between 3X and 5X given the same footprint of Backup Management Application (Spectrum Protect, Commvault, Netbackup, Veeam etc.), COS and a 10GbE connection between Storage Director and COS

• Turnkey high performance backup/restore and archive solution with S3 cloud capability for HPE NonStop, IBM Power i/iSeries/AS400 and other enterprise computing environments

• Tape modernization and/or replacement

• Enable replacement of aging and expensive dedup appliances like Data Domain, Quantum Dxi and IBM ProtecTIER with lower cost object storage solutions like COS and HCP as well as archiving on public cloud

www.tributary.com 18

Storage Director + COS Unique Strengths vs EMC Data Domain

• Ability to separate data into pools and apply different protection policies such as retention, replication, movement to lower cost media such as IBM COS, tape, NAS or public cloud for archival

• Offer customers the fastest performing backup solution per node in the market and therefore shrink backup windows and lower cost

• Eliminate slow restores due to need for rehydration of dedup data upon restores

• Eliminate performance degradation as disk fills up; SD + COS would not see performance degradation until disk capacity exceeds 96 percent

• Eliminate time spent on garbage cleaning; this could be 1-3 hours a day in a Data Domain

• Achieving data reduction of both data at rest and in flight without the inherent negatives of dedup (poor backup and restore performance, no capability to tier, cost of proprietary disk etc.)

• Ability to work with backup applications (such as Spectrum Protect, Commvault, Netbackup, Veeam etc.) to design policies utilizing incremental or change data backup only with periodic full backups for maximum efficiency

• Offering customers a cost effective, highly flexible, scalable, policy based backup solution utilizing object storage technology that can be customized to fit their environment as opposed to “one medium (dedup disk) fits all” philosophy of EMC Data Domain.

For any given customer environment, Storage Director + COS can be configured to offer the optimal continuous availability backup, replication and DR solution which results in the lowest cost, highest performance and reliability backup solution for that customer. The built-in method Storage Director uses for data reduction is hardware enabled LZ compression with redundant secondary software based compression and AES 256 bit encryption coupled with WAN optimization and latency management for replication. Additionally, COS uses erasure coding and object storage for enhanced security and massive scalability.
