Adrian Simays Technical Marketing Engineer Network Appliance

3 Joint Solutions E-mail and File System Archival/Compliance
Storage Resource Management Backup and Recovery High Availability and Disaster Recovery

4 Customer Challenges E-mail Archival & Compliance
Treating as mission-critical information Providing better storage utilization in the face of data growth and longer retention periods Preventing the modification or loss of archived messages and important documents Meeting growing regulatory requirements for data permanence, security, and confidentiality Lowering the overall cost of archiving

5 Traditional Methods Used to Archive E-mail
Users archive their own messages and files Unreliable and may use more storage Impossible to control Frustrating to users IT centrally controls archiving Archive to primary storage Expensive and may not be compliant Archive to WORM tape Slow and expensive search for legal discovery Inflexible retention policies Archive to optical WORM Slow, unreliable, and low density No easy disaster recovery options

6 Additional Management Concerns Retention and Compliance Issues
has become mission-critical Complex rules and regulations Sarbanes Oxley SEC Rule 17a-4 (6 years) FSA, GISC and Law Society (up to 7 years) Companies Act 1985 (6 years) Extensive retention and compliance requirements Long-term retention Quick, reliable search/retrieval and real-time reporting Adherence to best practices and auditable processes Litigation support Risk is no longer restricted to IT

7 NetApp/VERITAS Partnership
Joint Integration and Testing Supports SnapLock including retention dates NetApp is an option in the Enterprise Vault wizard Integrated with ONTAP APIs for File System Archiving Joint Value Proposition Two market leaders join forces for best-of-breed solutions Very easy to deploy, support and scale Joint Go-To-Market Plans Aligned development roadmaps Numerous joint customers JP Financial, Encana, O2, Herbert Smith law firm, and Air New Zealand

8 Joint Solution Components E-mail and File System Archival/Compliance
Semi-structured Data ( ) Unstructured Data (file systems) Archival and Compliance: Archival and Compliance: Enterprise Vault for Microsoft Exchange NetApp NearStore Enterprise Vault File System Archiving (FSA) NetApp NearStore NetApp SnapLock™ Enterprise Vault for Office SharePoint NetApp SnapLock™ Microsoft Exchange Migration: Enterprise Vault for Microsoft Exchange NetApp NearStore

9 VERITAS’ Contribution E-mail Archival & Compliance
VERITAS Enterprise Vault® Server Recognized as the industry’s leading software-based archiving solution Provides a flexible archiving framework supporting Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint Portal Server, IM and file server environments Supports automated, policy-controlled archiving for active retention and seamless retrieval of information VERITAS File System Archiving (FSA) Extends Enterprise Vault policy-based archival and retention capabilities to file servers

10 NetApp’s Contribution E-mail Storage
iSCSI and Fibre-Channel SANs for hosting Exchange data Grow volumes and LUNs as needed without downtime Meet performance requirements of Exchange Integrated mirroring options for automated disaster recovery Snapshot based backups of Exchange data and archived Additional backup option Wizard based and scheduled

11 NetApp’s Contribution E-mail and File System Archival/Compliance
NetApp NearStore® nearline storage platform Bridges the gap between primary storage and traditional archival media Provides an economical way to securely archive large volumes of data Supports multiple applications simultaneously NetApp SnapLock™ software Delivers data permanence to disk-based storage Provides compliance in regulatory-controlled environments

12 NetApp® Product Line Scales to Handle Any Size Archival Project
6/12 TB 2 TB 32/64 TB 9/18 TB FAS940/c FAS980/c FAS 250 6 TB FAS 270/c 24/48 TB FAS960/c FAS920/c 96 TB 8 TB 48 TB NearStore™ FAS Servers Primary and archival storage of any size Same Data ONTAP™ OS across all NetApp appliances All enable SnapLock™ Compliance or SnapLock Enterprise Expand archival storage as needed

13 SnapLock™ Protection for Archiving
Non-erasable, non-rewritable magnetic disk storage (WORM) Perfect solution for high performance archival and retrieval Supports mirroring and/or tape backup Supports compliance archiving Provides retention dates for archived messages RAID-DP for extra data protection Open, standard data access protocols Add-on software license Leverages existing NetApp® hardware Leverages Data ONTAP and WAFL

14 Two Versions of SnapLock Regulated & “Enterprise” Records Retention
SnapLock™ Compliance SnapLock™ Enterprise “Strict” SnapLock Trust nobody Permanently non-erasable, non-rewritable disk storage (WORM) Until file expiration Safe from keyboard attack Complies w/ SEC Regulations Meets SEC 17a-4 requirements Easy WORM-to-WORM replication “Flexible” SnapLock Trust administrator Revision-safe, long-term storage solution Ideal for HIPAA compliance Virus and application bug-proof Enables best practices business records retention Partial storage admin control Admin can destroy volumes Inability to modify/delete individual records

15 Traditional Archival Storage
Primary Storage Infrastructure: Traditional Archival Storage: Price/ Performance Gap Servers File Servers Archive Servers Optical Library Storage Network Storage Network Tape Library NetApp or Other Primary Storage Devices VERY FAST AND EXPENSIVE VERY SLOW AND INEXPENSIVE

16 NetApp Archival Storage
Primary Storage Infrastructure: Traditional Archival Storage: NearStore® Servers File Servers Archive Servers Optical Library Storage Network Storage Network Tape Library NetApp or Other Primary Storage Devices VERY FAST AND EXPENSIVE VERY SLOW AND INEXPENSIVE

21 Evolving E-mail Implications Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003
Today – Exchange 2003 becoming important more important than the phone Volumes still growing Volumes growing Primarily for desktop use Remote workers and mobile devices Critical to running the business Viruses and spam annoyance Rich messages and large attachments Text messages Archiving Corporate and regulatory compliance Get the service up and running Simplify operations and reduce costs

22 The End of the Line for Microsoft Exchange 5.5
Milestones 5.5 Design Begins 5.5 Launch Exchange 2000 and Active Directory Exchange 2003 Exchange 5.5 End of Support ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’05 Milestones SMTP becomes standard transport protocol over X.400 replaces research as primary reason to be online - Reuters IDC projects >30 billion person-to-person s by 2005 73% of all is spam and 1 in 51 messages are virus infected - MSFT Partner is now the leading method of transmitting viruses - NCSA IDC declares >30 billion person-to-person s sent in 2002 Spam accounts for 40% of all - ZDNet

23 Typical Exchange 5.5 Migration Steps
1. Move old to archives with VERITAS Enterprise Vault. Exchange Users 4 New Exchange 2003 Servers Exchange 5.5 Servers 2. Create new volumes and LUNs on NetApp storage. Databases and Transaction Logs 3 1 iSCSI or FC-SAN 3. Move databases and transaction logs. 2 4. Migrate users from Exchange 5.5 or 2000 to Exchange 2003. VERITAS Enterprise Vault Server NetApp FAS Primary Storage Create Volumes and LUNs NetApp NearStore®

24 Exchange Migration Solution Value Proposition
