• Sesam Server– Main memory 1-2 GB

– Java 1.6 (Sun, IBM or openJDK)

– PostgreSQL on 64-bit Linux

– Sesam VAR area size between 30 and 50 GB or more– Sesam VAR area size between 30 and 50 GB or more

– Depends on the backup and media strategy

• Storage Hardware– On Linux: all SCSI/SAS- and FC-HW direct connected will

work– On Windows: Manufacturer drivers have to be installed– If the hardware is visible to the operating system, Sesam can

use it

Why Use SEP Cloud Server?• Cost

• The best price – TCO performance in the industry

• Performance – 2nd to none• SEP sesam’s architecture is only limited by the connection

Backup to the Cloud Using

SEP Sesam Cloud Solutions

• SEP sesam’s architecture is only limited by the connection speed and hardware configuration. Up to 64 data streams to tape and unlimited to the cloud!

• Reliability– Set it and Forget it reliability. SEP sesam Cloud Services use

the same technology used by 10’s of thousands of customers around the world

• Extra data protection– Get your data off of your san, protect against san multi-disk

failure and fiber channel switch/connection failure


• SEP Cloud Server

– Simple Installation, can be installed in minutes!

– Can be installed on any Managed Service Provider Hardware running Linux

• SEP sesam Master Server

– Directly backs up customer‘s data on-site

Backup to the Cloud Using

SEP Sesam Cloud Solutions

– Directly backs up customer‘s data on-site

– Backed up data sent to Cloud

• SEP Cloud Performance – 2nd to none

– SEP sesam Cloud Server architecture allows data transfer rates unequaled by competitive products

– Data transfer is only limited by the connections to the Internet

• SEP Cloud Unl Physical Connections and Streams

– Technology allows customers to install multiple Internet connections and use them simultaneously. Active/Active with multristreaming!


• SEP Cloud Server Environment– The SEP sesam backup recovery solution has been certified to

work in any cloud environment. It is especially suited for Amazon EBSType Cloud solutions and gives an extremely high leve of reliability to anyone who wants to offer cloud based backup to their customers.

their customers.

• SEP sesam Cloud Basic Configuration– A standard SEP sesam Cloud configuration consits of a SEP

sesam Standard Server running any Linux O/S and a SEP Cloud Server at the Cloud providers location. It can be controlled from either the customer‘s site or by the Master Service Provider, by installing the Master Cloud Server License.


• SEP Cloud Server Technology– The Managed Service Provider (MSP) can provide a turn-key

backp soltuion to customers without ever going on site. The system administartor installs the software at the customer‘s site remotely. The customer can have the full softwaare running locally and back-haul the data to the Cloud Provider or they can

locally and back-haul the data to the Cloud Provider or they can simply backup everything to cloud. The SEP sesam Cloud solution makes it all seamless!

• SEP sesam Cloud Security– A Security is provide using AES256 encryption for all data, while

logfiles and encryption keys are sent over secure SSH for storing the Cloud.


• SEP Cloud Server Adds Servers easily, quickly– Add New Servers and Clients at customer sites with ease.

MSPS‘s can add a server to a Group without reconfiguring the backup environment. Templates are supported in the form of backup groups and can be easily controlled from a central cloud location.

location.

• SEP sesam Cloud Email Notifications– MSP‘s can set notifications.

Notification types include

– Backup Successful

– Backup Successful with errors

– Backup Failed


• Citrix XENserver– Online hot and warm module using the XENserver API

– Agent-Less Technology

– Does not affect user access

• Cold Backup

– Will backup memory state

– Will prevent activation loss


• Multinode Aware– SEP sesam Backup Server

looks at the cluster and will talk to all the hosts and determine where the guest is for the backup

Virtual Server Backup

Virtual Server Backup

• Multinode Aware– After the backup is found, the

communication stream will be isolated to the correct host

Virtual Server Restore

• Multinode Aware– A host can be specified to

direct the restore to a specific location

Virtual Server Replication

• Multinode Aware– SEP sesam can be used to

keep virtual guests synchronized between hosts or virtual clusters

– This can be used with the remote device server to remote device server to synchronize servers between locations

Backup in a Novell

Environment

• Backup over Novell Storage Management Services (SMS) and Target Service Agents (TSA)

• There is no Sesam client needed for OES NetWare, it uses the TSA

• The backup server or One OES2 Linux host has to work as Data Mover

• There must be a valid SLP configuration to backup cluster resources
