Data Duplication

Development requires 5x the storage vs. Production Data In Speedy Cashs scenario we were using 5x+ storage forDevelopment EMC offers Snapshot Technology to create virtual

development environments with less storage

Process1. RecoverPoint/Replication Manager Creates Parallel Bookmark of all

Production LUNs2. RecoverPoint Updates primary DR storage

3. RecoverPoint Updates clone of DR storage (for I/O segmentation from DR SRM)

4. VMware PowerCLI Presents clone storage to vCenter

5. VMware PowerCLI Mounts clone storage to Existing SQL Server

6. SQL PowerShell Mounts DBs and runs PCI DB scrub to prepare fordevelopment work

7. SQL PowerShell Dismounts DBs

8. EMC NaviSecCLI Creates SAN snapshots of DB clone LUNs and addssnapshots to VMware host storage group

9. VMware PowerCLI Presents snapshot LUNs to vCenter and mounts

snapshot LUNs to existing development SQL server

10.Steps 7 9 are repeated for as many development SQL servers as areneeded
