9. Storage Foundation: Volume Mirroring
DEFINITION
synchronous data replication over a SAN
BENEFITS
Cost Savings
Mirror data natively over Fibre Channel
Mirror data between any storage array
Protection
Eliminate data loss
Manageability
Utilize the same technology for DR
Primary Site
Secondary Site
SAN Fabric
Storage Foundation
Data Availability
Can create up to 32 full volume mirrors and can replicate that over a SAN (campus distance)
Gives very high availability
Failover is near instantaneous
No license is required
No reason to look to do any other type of synchronous replication in a campus environment
Faster than any controller based replication failover
Only works over fibre channel
Can be managed via SFMS
Distance limitation dependent on FC infrastructure
typically km (w/ dark fiber)
Let’s look at the first of these technologies: Logical Volume Management (like with VM).
SAN and other storage networking technologies are now allowing geographic separation of mirrors. This makes it a viable DR option for some organizations.
VM can be used to synchronously mirror data over a Fibre Channel connection to a second site.

10. Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR)
DEFINITION
Operates at the host level and extends Storage Foundation to transfer writes asynchronously across IP
BENEFITS
No risk to overall application performance
Automatically resyncs link after a failure
Guarantees data consistency at all times
Space-optimized Snapshot for DR testing
Minimal Host Impact = Storage Foundation + ~2%
Primary Site

IP Network
VVR - Replication beyond a campus environment
Replicates natively over IP both synchronously and asynchronously
Allows you to replicate up to 32 locations
Supports one to many, many to many replication
Allows you to throttle bandwidth required for WAN tuning
Dynamically switches async mode during a network failure
Always guarantees data consistency and write order fidelity
No distance limitations, 5km to 5,000 km
VVR is extending the concept of Storage Foundation over distance
Use the same management technique whether mirroring with VM or mirroring over distance with VVR, no additional replication expertise is needed
Can take advantage of the processing power that VM provides
VVR is most likely already on your system, just need to call sales rep to add a license key
By adding VVR to your environment you are really only adding 3 components:
Rlink (Replication Link): Link defines the relationship between one host and another.
Can create up to 32 Rlinks in environment
Can define each Rlink with a different replication mode.
So can replicate NY to NJ synchronously and with the same host replicate NY to SF asynchronously

11. Bunker Replication: RPO of Zero over any Distance
Traditional approach
>3x storage requirement
Storage hardware lock in
Cascaded
Primary Site
Bunker Site
Secondary Site
Veritas Bunker Replication approach
Reduces storage requirements
Zero RPO over any distance
Bunker Replication
Unique in the industry
Gives you to have a Recovery Point Objective of zero regardless of distance
You replicate your application synchronously over any distance
Controller based bunker replication requires 5x storage
Gives you the ability to choose hardware
Replicates to the bunker synchronously, and then async to the secondary site
Write order fidelity is maintained
In an outage, all bunker changes are sent to secondary site and then the site is brought live

12. Veritas Storage Foundation: Complete Storage Tiering
STATIC TIERING
DYNAMIC TIERING
( UNIX )
COPY SERVICES
/FileSystem
Always had static tiering based on applications with SF
Still valid approach and can seamless mix/match multiple vendor hardware to support a single application with SF.
Works great for mapping an application to storage tier
Dynamic Tiering
Next level of tiered storage, mapping the information within an application to storage tiers.
Real-time mapping process that is policy driven
You define the policy based on
file access
type
directory type
end-user
data frequency access
Supports multi-volume file system
Allows you to move files from one volume to another with no impact on application or DB architecture
Application and end-user are not impacted, because SF virtualizes the storage at the file system and volume layer
Copy Services
All OSes supported
Broadest HCL support

TALKING POINTS
This is a projection put together in a business ROI study we did with this customer. These are projected savings, not realized savings.
This slide is useful to illustrate the type of savings customers can see.
