Traditional backup/recovery yields RPOs averaging 12+ hours and RTOsranging from 4-24 hours depending on the size of recovery. CDP/K-CDP-based BU/recovery will yield RPOsof minutes to a few hours (80% + reduction) and RTOstypically less than 1 hour (75%+ reduction).<br><br> Hosted by Hosted by Where should CDP execute? Everywhere 3-across the entire data protection landscape. CDP/K-CDP is an RPO enhancer and as such should be implemented across all the ctiered dstages of the data protection schema.<br><br> Hosted by Hosted by CDP and ILM CDP is the KILLER APP for creating a useful tiered infrastructure. " Keep 24 hours of real-time data on recovery tier 1 disk (CDP) " Keep day 1-10 on recovery disk tier 2 (K-CDP 32 hour increments) " Keep day 10-60 on recovery disk tier 3 (K-CDP 38 hour increments) " Keep day 61-forever on recovery tape tier 4 4 Hosted by Hosted by Where should CDP execute? A: As a discrete device B: As a component/feature of backup C: in replication software/appliances D: as standalone software Answer: Yes Hosted by Hosted by Who does what?<br><br> A: As a discrete device " Revivio " EMC (soon) " StorageTek " HP (soon) " IBM (not sure when) " Quantum Hosted by Hosted by Who does what?

More than 50% of users surveyed tell ESG they have more concerns about the security of a Microsoft solution than they do with other vendors 88% of users say data protection solutions should incorporate more security features Implication?<br><br> Expect MSFT, Symantec/Veritas, EMC/Legato, CA and everyone else to battle it out over security strategy 9 Hosted by Hosted by Do you believe that data protection solutions should increasingly incorporate information security features such as data encryption and access management? (Percent of respondents, N = 232) Don 9t know 6% No, security and data protection functions should be handled by separate solutions 6% Yes 88% Security: The new data protection battleground? Hosted by Hosted by One last data point .<br><br> . . 100% of users familiar with DPM say they will evaluate it 100% of users familiar with DPM say they will evaluate it Based on your current knowledge, do you believe your organization will actively evaluate Microsoft DPM?<br><br> No 0% Yes, at some point 33% Yes, within 24 months 37% Yes, within 12 months 30% Hosted by Hosted by What 9s the point? DPM will absolutely provide better, more granular RPOs to Windows file environments. It will help make it easier to manage licenses on file servers and is much better than recovering from tape.<br><br> It will NOT make your life easier initially 3-you won 9t be able to add DPM and take anything else away 3-i.e. you won 9t be able to toss out your existing backup software, at least not for a while. 10 Hosted by Hosted by Market impact Research tells us that people don 9t know or don 9t care if the product solves real problems 3-they will use it.<br><br> Someone still needs to backup DPMs, archive DPMs, move DPM data to tape and replicate DPMsoff site. You should consider DPM another application in your environment that needs to be managed and protected. Hosted by Hosted by Market impact (cont.) Non-MS vendors should embrace DPM 9s inevitable market position and be the ones to provide the missing services all around it.<br><br> Smart vendors will offer cDPM-ready dproducts Dumb vendors will say cOur Stuff Is Way Better Than DPM dor the classic cDPM Sucks. dWho cares????? Hosted by Hosted by Conclusion There is precedent: SAK (MS Storage Server) owns more than 50% of the NAS installations already It 9s going to enter your shop; just be prepared to know what it can and cannot do. Don 9t sell yourself short.<br><br> It will drive down the cost of CDP solutions across the board, which is good. It may get you to actually start to solve your RPO/RTO issues, and that 9s also good. 11 Hosted by Hosted by Questions?<br><br> Thank You!!!
