Note to Presenter: View in Slide Show mode for animation.
In a traditional backup scenario, data is moved from the server to a tape drive. While backup is occurring, most applications are offline, unavailable to users. This impacts revenue—as well as the LAN. In a SAN, backups can be performed on cloned copies of data, so that production environments are not interrupted.
SANs also shorten the time it takes to restore lost data. In a SAN solution, the recovery of lost information can be significantly accelerated through the use of a cloned copy. Instead of having to wait for tape, the cloned copy can be mounted in minutes to the failed server.
In addition, you can keep copies of the data from multiple days online. And in the event of a hidden corruption, you can recover faster—just by mounting an initial copy; checking it for corruption; and, if corruption is found, mounting a previous copy—all in a matter of minutes. Compare that process with recovering from tape.

NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications unifies protection for Microsoft applications. A single module protects Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, Active Directory, and Data Protection Manager (DPM) —leveraging the VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) framework and doing so with a single recovery interface for all supported applications and platforms.
Common features help make it easier to manage backup and recovery—no need to learn a new interface for each individual application type. NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications ties NetWorker’s snapshot management capabilities into Microsoft VSS to enable more effective backup and recovery and provides a facility for making point-in- time volume snapshots and clones on the Windows platform. Using the VSS framework, NetWorker integrates with EMC hardware platforms as well as third-party hardware providers to create point-in-time shadow copies on the array for the purposes of backup to secondary media or fast recovery and return to service.
Now you can use industry-leading deduplication—Data Domain including DD Boost support and Avamar—to help protect your Microsoft data as well, all managed seamlessly by NetWorker. Based on policy, you can choose which solution to use to reduce the impact of data growth.
The NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications 2.3 also now supports configuration of the application server as a dedicated storage node enabling LAN-Free backup and recover from the application host itself. This takes the backup traffic off the network and leverages the performance and efficiency of Storage Area Network infrastructure instead.
With this solution, NetWorker lowers the operational effort for backup and recovery of the Microsoft applications listed here. This simplified administration reduces staffing costs. By enabling off-host backup, the impact of data protection operations is off- loaded, and this translates directly into more efficiency for your server, SQL Server database, SharePoint servers, etc.

11. There are many considerations for Exchange Server Disaster Recovery
There are many considerations to think about.
Distance
Bandwidth
Latency
Automation
Ease of Use
RTO
RPO
Different Subnet handling
Failover Datacenter type:
Production to Cold
Production Datacenter
A production datacenter is the physical location that is hosting the infrastructure and providing the service
A cold datacenter is a physical location that has the capacity to take ownership of and provide the production service, but it requires extensive steps to be taken before it can provide the service
Production to Warm Datacenter {Manual}
A warm datacenter is a physical location with suitable equipment ready to take ownership of and provide the production service
Additional configuration is required to run the server at the warm datacenter
Most common?
Preferred provider of service is DC (A)
Warm (Dedicated)
Warm (Non-Dedicated)
Production to Hot
A hot datacenter is a physical location that is immediately ready to take ownership of the service and continue service provision
Automatic Failover
Dual Production
Both datacenters participate in service provision
No preferred provider of service
Each data center is immediately available to assume service from other

13. SRM Solution Architecture for Exchange 2010
Two active-active Sites
10,000 Exchange 2010 users per site (20,000 total)
1 DAG per site with 2 local copies
4 Mailbox Server VMs per DAG (each VM configured to run 5,000 users during local switchovers — 2,500 active/2,500 passive)
Exchange user profile
2 GB mailbox per user
0.15 IOPS per user
This solution virtualizes Exchange 2010 on VMware vSphere 5 and leverages EMC, Microsoft, and VMware best practices and guidelines for deploying Exchange in virtual configurations.
This diagram illustrates the Exchange Server 2010 environment deployed for this solution. The environment represents two active sites with four vSphere hosts at each site. Each site provides enough performance and capacity to support up to 20,000 active users (10,000 users during normal operations and another 10,000 users during a disaster recovery event). For this solution, the Active Directory and DNS services at each site are provided outside of the virtual infrastructure. The Active Directory is configured to meet all of the requirements for this Exchange deployment. Redundant Active Directory servers, as well as DNS servers, are provisioned at both sites.
Data protection for both sites is provided by RecoverPoint, with Replication Manager initiating application-consistent (VSS) copies for Exchange databases and logs. In the event of a site-specific disaster, or if you want to move the servers or test disaster recovery, vCenter SRM is used to coordinate an entire Exchange server failover from one site to another site and back again.
In an active/active site configuration, such as the one this solution represents, both sites (or all sites, if there are more than two) are active production sites, that are locally protected and also globally protected by every other site. In other words, each site can be referred to as both a protected site and a recovery site. With this in mind, the subsequent sections refer to a pair of protected/recovery sites, but each site can reverse roles with the other, depending on where the disaster event occurs. Further, in a configuration with more than two active sites, every site is both a protected site and a potential recovery site for any peer site affected by a disaster.
Note: Even though this solution demonstrates the protection of an active/active site configuration, the solution can also be used to protect active/passive site configurations.
