DESCRIPTION

More virtual servers are being deployed today than ever. Although this improves storage efficiencies for organizations, protecting data in mixed physical/virtual environments can be alarmingly complex and costly. Learn how to cost-effectively protect mixed environments: • Simplified, non-disruptive continuous data protection for all data • Improved data mobility by extending the value of VAAI to any storage infrastructure • Virtual storage for virtual servers • Automated recovery including P2P, V2V, P2V, V2P

FalconStor’s integration with VMware

• FalconStor solutions provide VMware data protection– Integration with vStorage APIs for best

performance• 100% transactional integrity of data for fast restores • Enabling accelerated data mobility and provisioning

– Integration with VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager for 1-click Disaster Recovery

– Physical-to-virtual, Physical-to-physical, and Virtual-to-virtual Recovery with FalconStor RecoverTrac™ technology

VMware Backup Challenges with VADP

• Lack of Application-aware Snapshots• Performance impacts• Backup scheduling • Need for additional storage• No integration with vCenter Site Recovery Manager

Production read & write

1. Normal operational mode, read/write activity to the VM.

2. After snapshot is initiated for VADP/CBT backup, all new writes go to redo-log file for the length of the backup. LUN now used for production (read/write) plus backup processing (read).

3. Upon completion of VADP/CBT backup, data accumulated in the redo-log file must be written back to the VM.

Result: Significant Performance Impact

• Multiple VM backups overlapped• Long backup window, redo log files take space• Heavy production I/O

VMware vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI)

Page 18: Protecting Physical and Virtual Environments Together

Copyright © 2013 FalconStor Software · All Rights ReservedProtecting Physical & Virtual Environments Together

18

VAAI Overview

• Benefits of VAAI– Higher data mobility

• Faster Cloning• Faster formatting

– Higher VM-to-host ratio• More VM’s per cluster nodes

• Challenges of VAAI– Limited array support– Only works within the same array frame

Challenges of Disaster Recovery in VMware Environments• Array-based replication requires same array model on

both sites• No support for Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) Disaster

Recovery• Crash-consistent state on remote site (longer RTO)• Poor WAN bandwidth utilization
