Industry evolution leading to a hybrid cloud

• Increased investments in (hyper)converged solutions that extend out to public cloud = hybrid cloud

• Private clouds aim to achieve public cloud-like orchestration and simplicity

• Convergence and hybridization creates complexity and risk

Complexity and risk of a hybrid VM environment

• IT fragmentation

• Managing VMs distributed across hybrid environments

•Data growth

• Maintaining VM protection SLAs and optimizing cost

•Data mobility

• Moving VM workloads across hybrid VM environment

Common hybrid cloud data protection questions

How do I use the cloud for Disaster Recovery for my VMs?

How do I ensure compliance with SLAs and regulations?

How easily can I learn the cloud management tools?

How can I migrate VMs into the cloud?

Can I use existing protection in a hybrid VM environment?


VM protection qualities for on-premises

1. Flexible virtualization protection strategy

• Agentless guest protection with automatic application awareness

• Hardware snapshot orchestration and integration for lower RPOs and RTOs

2. Simple to deploy, scale, and manage

• An easy to use and powerful web-based administration, UI, and APIs

• Service level-based data protection plans

3. Supporting new use cases with data copies

• Instantiate DR, Dev/Test, and new application instances from data

• Know and protect the new data instances with compliance rulesVMworld 2018 Content: Not for publication or distribution


Agentless VM data protection using the Commvault VSA

• Full integration with hypervisor APIs that provide:

• Efficient VM backups via native hypervisor APIs e.g. VADP, VSS, CBT, etc.

• Flexible recovery options for granular and full VM recovery using snapshots, Live Mount and Live Recovery

• Leverages the Commvault® platform to provide:

• 4D Indexing

• Artificial Intelligence

• Automated Policy Engine

VMware vSAN protection best practices

• Protection options

• Traditional streaming backups

• Commvault IntelliSnap® integrated protection

• For best performance

• Ensure vSAN storage follows VMware best practices for storage layout

• Ensure 10% free space is available within a datastore to allow for vSphere snapshot operations

• Ensure that Datastore Affinity is selected as the auto discovery type within CommvaultVMworld 2018 Content: Not for publication or distribution

vRealize Automation integration overview

• Easily integrate Commvault operations into IT blueprints created through vRealize Suite

• Expose functions to match various personas needs

• Protection options• Add newly provisioned VMs into a VM group or protection

policy• Backup a VM or VM group• Full VM – In Place restore and File level restore

• Replication options• Add / Remove VM from replication group• Enable / disable replication• Planned / Unplanned failover and Failback• Test bootVMworld 2018 Content: Not for publication or distribution

Hybrid Cloud Protection


Who is investing in a hybrid VM environment?

12

• “Boomerang effect” due to lifetime cost of cloud instance vs. on-premises VMs

• Bridging public instances with on-premises management: networks, reporting, protection, compliance.


VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC on AWS) eases adoption

Bridging the challenges of Hybrid IT adoption to run workloads across both

13

• Multiple virtual machine formats

• Incongruent networks

• Operational inconsistency

• Need to learn new skillsets & tools

• Multiple monitoring & control mechanisms


Use case 1: Backup of VMC on AWS data to S3

1. Backup VMware to S3 directly

2. Backup VMC on AWS directly to S3 bucket using MA in VMC or EC2

3. Take advantage of source deduplication, compression, encryption, and data life-cycle

Multi-Platform Hybrid Cloud Protection


Data has to exist independent of the original capture type

18

Challenges of the multi-platform hybrid cloud

1. One time re-factor for migration

2. Workload auto-migration to new environment/format

3. Data transformed needs protection using same policies VMworld 2018 Content: Not for publication or distribution

Multi-Cloud Backup

• Provide native cloud storage integration for workloads, backup or archive

• Synchronize and migrate workloads on a schedule, for a point in time, or ongoing

• Backup, recovery and archive native cloud workloads within the cloud

• Move workloads across clouds and cloud regionsVMworld 2018 Content: Not for publication or distribution
