Refining Data Protection in a Virtualized World

Narrowing Down the Options

Sam Nicholls Strategic Alliance Manager

Painting the Picture• IDC projects that the amount of information that is

created in the world - the digital universe - will reach 40ZB by 2020

• More than 66% of companies are virtualizing their workloads

• Data loss causes $1.7 Trillion in costs around the globe per year

Storage Challenges• Exponential data growth and long-term retention

• Virtualization and cloud are forcing data centers to rethink their approach

• How do businesses deploy a cost-effective, reliable and scalable storage solution to meet the demand now and in the future

Storage Challenges• Good sequential read

bandwidth

• Good sequential write bandwidth

• 100-300 random IOPS

• Low cost/GB

• Infinite write durability

• Good sequential read bandwidth

• Bad to Great write bandwidth

• 1K to 400K random IOPS

• Expensive cost/GB

• Limited write durability

Veeam Environments• Storage choice will depend on your capacity and

performance needs

• VMs are relatively low capacity

• Veeam has excellent and simple to deploy solutions for small (few TBs or less) using cheap, internal HDD

• For larger deployments, using dedicated data movers, SAN storage and snapshots is superior
