CHALLENGE SOLUTION RESULTS

Journey Steps

Use Case Example 1: Unstructured Data

• Long retention policy on fast growing unstructured data

• Maintaining up to 1 PB

• Using Backup Software to replicate offsite

• Backup costs are high

• Reliability Issues

• Time-consuming management and administration

• Not meeting SLAs

• Hybrid Data Protection approach

• Upgrade Backup software to support REST API model

• Remove tape

• Options for scale out storage with deduplication and Object store

• Provide Search and Index capability

• Modernized Backup with minimal added resources or skills.

• Provide All-in-One Data Repository for Backup and Archive Data.

• Expect cost savings of doing “business as usual” versus investment in Hybrid Cloud.

CHALLENGE SOLUTION RESULTS

Journey Steps

Use Case Example 2: LTR

• Long Term Tape Retention (LTR)

• Dated storage policy of Retention forever on tape

• Maintaining several PB’s of tape at provider

• Using backup software to copy each night

• While tape is considered “cheap” not at this scale

• Drive maintenance

• Maintain operational recovery from disk or PBBA

• New Cloud target instead of tape –Object Store, Azure, AWS, Etc.

• Data ingest services from tape to disk

• Terminate offsite tape contract and power down several drives

• Easier and faster regulatory response time and potential elimination of fines

• Leverage data for business value – search and analyze.
