Le snapshot, base de toutes les autres fonctions
� Le snapshot profite de la technologie unique du WAFL’s : « écrire partout,mais ne jamais ré-écrire »
� Un snapshot permet:
– Une sauvegarde instantanée des fichiers d’une application ou d’une base de données.
– Une récupération rapide des données ou fichiers perdus à cause:
• D’une corruption accidentelle de la donnée• D’une suppression accidentelle d’un fichier

FlexShare™: mettre des priorités sur des Volumes
� Améliorer la qualité de service des volumes flexibles:
– “Maintenant que tous les volumes partagent le même pool de disques, comme puis-je m’assurer que chacun aura les performances dont il a besoin? »
� FlexShare!
– Permet de mettre des priorités en vous laissant la possibilité de:• Assigner des priorités (très basse, basse, moyenne, haute, très haute) sur un volume.• Favoriser les processus clients plutôt que les proc essus systèmes
(e.g., SnapMirror async event)• Configurer le cache afin qu’une partie puisse être gardée ou re-utilisée par un volume
correspondant(e.g., en environnement Oracle, les log sont très s ouvent réécrits, set cache to re-use)
• Faire des ajustements dynamiques.
– Contrôles de l’allocation des ressources systèmes critiques• CPU: les opérations disques sur un volume de priorité éle vée sont effectuées en priorité• Disk I/O: Un volume de priorité élevée peut faire plus d’opéra tions de lecture en parallèle NVRAM:
On s’assure que les volumes ayant une priorité élevé e n’attendent jamais pour une écriture.• Cache: Une règle est instaurée pour configurer le cache en keep/re-use

SnapLock ® � Disk-based WORM technology compliant with strict regulations such as SEC 17a-4. Provides non-erasable and non-rewritable data protection that helps enable compliance with government and industry records retention regulations.
� The entire system or a portion of it can be partitioned to store WORM-protected data. SnapLock volumes are accessed via CIFS or NFS protocols. SnapLock works with SnapMirror to satisfy regulations requiring two WORM copies.
Disk Space Used:

� Enables IT administrator to “lock” a backup in a non-erasable and non-rewriteable format for compliant retention
� Snapshot-based backups save only changed blocks; yet full backup image is immediately readable in native application format
� ComplianceJournal™ logs changes between Snapshot copies
LockVault™
� Instant self-service file backup & recovery for end users.
� Zero-performance impact, space-efficient. Only block-level changes are stored, thus minimizing disk space for each subsequent Snapshot
Snapshot ™
� Instantaneous volume recovery (up to 16 TB at once) ; can restore individual files/LUNs as well.
� Operates within the N series, without burdening the storage networks to which it’s attached

� Designed to provide instant replication of data volumes/sets without requiring additional storage space at the time of creation.
� Allows IT administrator to make a backup copy of a database and then modify and run testing against test (backup) database without affecting or taking the on-line database off-line.
IBM System Storage®

� Allows administrator to create multiple flexible volumes across a large pool of disks.
� Dynamic, non-disruptive storage (thin) provisioning; space- and time-efficiency.
� Allows users to get more space dynamically and non-disruptively.
� Enables more productive use of available storage and helps improve performance.

� SecureAdmin is standard feature of Data ONTAP that enables authenticated, command-based administrative sessions between an administrative user and Data ONTAP over an intranet or the Internet.
� SecureAdmin can be used to authenticate both the administrative user and the N series system, creating a secure, direct communication link to the N series system.
� It helps protects administrative logins, passwords, and session commands from "cleartext" snooping by replacing rsh and telnet with the strongly encrypted SSH protocol

MultiStore ®� MultiStore prevents different enterprise departments accessing or
finding other virtual storage partitions within the single Appliance or Gateway they all share.
� MultiStore helps prevent information on any virtual partition from being viewed, used or downloaded by unauthorized users.
� Analogous in purpose to LUN masking on a Block Storage System
Windows clients
Logical partitioning
UNIX clients
Linux clients
� MultiStore lets you quickly and easily create separate, private logical partitions of a single N series’ IP networking and storage resources.
� SnapManager automates and simplifies the complex manual and time-consuming processes associated with the backup, restore, recovery and cloning of Oracle databases.
� It provides the ability to create, use, and clone a database for use by non-production team capability.
� SnapManager automatically identifies the backup data set and puts the database in hot backup mode while a Snapshot copy is created to ensure consistency.
� Any backup can be immediately verified, or verification can be deferred.
� Backups can be performed at regular intervals throughout the day and ensures that restores occur quickly with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
� It also integrates with native Oracle technology such as RAC, RMAN, and ASM and across iSCSI and NFS protocols to allow IT organizations to:
� Scale their storage infrastructure
� Meet increasingly stringent SLA commitments
� Improve the productivity of databases storage administrator across the enterprise
