Basic Situation – Remote Data is Big and Growing

� There are more than 4 million remote/branch offices in the U.S. alone,

according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Many of these offices belong to multi-

national companies based in other countries.

� The amount of data in remote offices is increasing with the overall growth in

electronic information and the requirements for longer data retention periods

� However, the percentage of total corporate data in remote offices is

increasing as companies expand operations into new markets and attempt to

move closer to their customers, suppliers and partners

� Result: large enterprises have between 35% and 65% of their data in

remote/branch offices (per Gartner, IDC, ESG, Taneja Group, et.al.)

2


Remote Office Data may NOT be Well-Protected

� Most remote offices do not have the IT

resources and processes in place to

provide data center class protection and

recovery for their digital information

� Backups are performed by non-IT

personnel that have other jobs; they often

forget to run the backup, or they do it

wrong.

� If it doesn’t get backed up, it can’t be

restored

3


Tape-Based Backup can have Issues in Remote Offices

� Tape-based systems rely on manual processes that introduce

significant risks to data protection and recovery

� Labeling, loading, unloading, storage, transport, etc.

� Physically moving tapes off-site for disaster recovery also opens the

door to data security risks

� Tapes get lost/stolen on a regular basis

� Recovering lost data from tape is a painful and often impossible task

� Usually requires expert IT support, which is costly and time

consuming

4


IBM has the Answer

� With the introduction of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack, IBM has the

only comprehensive, cost-effective solution for protecting and quickly

recovering remote office data and maintaining remote operations, following

almost any type of data loss:

� Lost or deleted file or folder

� Virus attack or corrupted database

� Disk or server crash

� Local or regional disaster

� TSM FastBack integrates easily into central data protection systems such as

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, easily adding remote data to core processes

such as archive, retention and compliance

� Other vendors have to cobble point solutions together to provide the scope of

services that IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack provides

Client

�TSM FastBack Client installed on each guest OS

�Can perform block level incremental forever backup for applications

and files

�The ESX Server CPU is not over loaded with long backup windows

from multiple virtual systems Can Also deploy TSM FastBack Server

in a Virtual Machine

Virtualization techniques like VMWare

place extra burden upon individual

applications and fileservers. These

servers can ill-afford additional

workloads introduced by backup.

Block-level incremental addresses this

by virtually eliminating the backup

window and load on the CPU.

This makes TSM FastBack a great solution for virtual system data protection in

the General Business Market

Solving the Data Recovery Problem

What can go wrong? Current responseResponse with Tivoli

Storage Manager FastBack

Office staff forgets to run the

backup, or does it wrong

Pray nothing fails until the

next night (or whenever the

next backup gets run

successfully)

Automated, non-disruptive

backup occurs during normal

business hours in the

background

Accidental or malicious

deletion of critical files

Call tape vendor’s support

desk and have them walk

you through loading the right

sequence of tapes, and hope

you don’t over-write any of

today’s data

Open the FastBack Restore

browser and drag & drop the

needed files back to where

you need them

You discover that a critical

database server has been

corrupted (maybe by a virus)

for the past couple of weeks

Good luck; you’re going to

need to fly in an expert, and

you’ll be down for days

Pick the point-in-time that

you want to recover from and

initiate a Virtual Restore

operation; the entire

database will be made

available within seconds

Solving the Data Recovery Problem

What can go wrong? Current responseResponse with Tivoli

Storage Manager FastBack

Your boss has lost an

important contact or

message in his Microsoft

Outlook e-mail and needs it

now

Tell the boss it can’t be done,

and start looking for another

job

Initiate FastBack for

Microsoft Exchange and

drag-and-drop whatever e-

mail objects you need or

send them to a new mailbox

The disk in your SQL Server

crashes

Tell customers to wait for a

few hours or days while you

try to restore from tape

Virtual Restore will have you

up and running within

seconds of putting a new disk

on-line

The office is hit by a <insert

your favorite disaster here>

Restart operations from

scratch whenever you can

get into a (new) facility; suffer

lost customers, revenue

Use FastBack for Bare

Machine Recovery to

reconstitute the office’s

workload in another location,

within an hour
