Detailed description of topics covered in the video:
0:05 Customer story
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=5s
- customer encrypted wants to protect for future using Data Domain
- New DD6400 provides security, performance, scalability
1:02 Agenda
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=62s
1:15 Backup software and backup media
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=75s
1:25 - a lot of backup media - tape / disk. why to use Data Domain?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=123s
1:39 All Data Domain models
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=99s
2:03 Performance
- we write 1%
- Data Domain does not write data to backup media during backup
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=123s
2:53 - Performance numbers: 14TB/h for MSSQL environment
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=173s
3:03 - Oracle speed 5TB/h
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=183s
- 1.5GB/s
- limitation was production storage
3:40 Parallel backup of all items in production environment
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=220s
- Virtual machines / databases
- 270 streams
- comparison to concert and toilet
- backup environment - one of the best to perform parallelly
4:37 Additional speed because of Storage Pools
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=277s
5:58 Why additional speed for backup?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=358s
- Data Domain does not write data during backup
- We need the speed for recovery
- There are other mechanisms as defragmentation
7:10 Data Domain speed from de-duplication
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=430s
- variable length de-duplication
- example with 3 Virtual Machines built from 3 blocks - few space required
- new yellow block and compression required
- DD6300 - compression by main processor
- DD6400 - compression card that performs the compression
- processor is free for replication, cleaning, etc.
- blocks are smaller - better compression
- faster backup / restore but also the whole data domain is faster!
- all new Data Domains: DD6400 / DD6900 / DD9400 / DD990 have the compression card
10:00 Starting backups directly from Data Domain!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=600s
- Instant Access
- We want to restore immediately Virtual Machine
- We want Data Domain to be primary storage
- Can we start Virtual Machine from tape? IT would be like asking kid to empty the trash
- SSD disk speed
11:50 Revolution in backup
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=710s
- normally if something fails - we are offline until backup will restore data - long time
- now if production fails, backup becomes the production
- example with customer who was running 75 VMs directly from Data Domain - failure of firmware upgrade in disk array
12:30 Security
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=750s
- checking backups on the fly
- whatever backup software we have - all data are red and checked if correct
- guarantee of recovery correct data
14:05
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=845s
- Storage Pool keeps a lot of additional data
- this architecture allows to fail more disks than in RAID-6
15:15 Separated disks for Operating System and data
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=915s
- we can reinstall the Operating System and connect disks with backups
16:25 Logically separated Operating System and data - different file systems
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=985s
16:48 Replication between Data Domains
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1008s
- whole site can be damaged
- we transfer 1% of the data - we can restore 100% of data
- case study - 29 locations replicated to central site
- customer wants only Data Domain for Disaster Recovery base on the great experience
- almost no transfer, no network usage, reliability
17:48 Hacker / ransomware protection
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1068s
- compliance - locking backups for any period
- no one can destroy my backup
18:12 Demo of Data Domain compliance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1092s
- we setup lock for 3 months
- for whatever backup software we have secure backups against ransomware / hacker attack
20:49 Cyber Bunker
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1249s
- Data Domain is base for Cyber Bunker - gold copy that neither hacker/ransomware can destroy
21:18 Boost - secure protocol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1278s
- Boost protects us against ransomware
- Boost is protected by login/password that ransomware does not know
21:40 Security architecture of DD6900 / DD9400 / DD9900
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1300s
- separated disks for Operating System / Data
- separated logic
22:00 Retention Lock / Compliance with Veeam Backup Software
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1320s
- Veeam does not force automatically Compliance
- Cyber Bunker is solution for Veeam
- Lock is than based on Data Domain in Cyber Bunker
- Possible to make lock on production - snapshot which is locked
23:17 Setup lock can be on destination Data Domain only
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1397s
23:30 We can make incremental / Synthetic FULL backups with compliance mode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1410s
23:42 Number of Virtual Machines that we can start DD6400
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1422s
- 20 Virtual Machines can be started from DD6400
- with more than performance will be smaller
24:05 If we replace disks with Operating system what about configuration?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1445s
- data on Data Domain are self-described
- we can install new Operating system and attach to Data Domain
24:52 NetWorker - how to setup retention lock on Data Domain set-up from NetWorker level
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1492s
- for any backup software we can setup retention lock using Cyber Bunker
26:00 Capacity / Scaling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1560s
- DD6400 starts from 8TB net and scales up to 172TB
- we can increase capacity in 4TB increments
- other models starts from much bigger capacity apart from DD3300
- DD6400 - we start from 8TB and we increase capacity with just entering license - 4TB increments
- increase capacity with entering licensing is possible up to 32TB
- 40TB of net capacity requires adding hardware - new shelf
- than we increase capacity again but adding just license
- we can say DD6400 provides "capacity on demand"
- ordering DD6400 we just provide net capacity with 4TB increments
29:05 Data Domain - best market de-duplication
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1745s
- small variable block with global de-duplication
- it writes almost no data
- if we backup guest level and image level the second backup writes almost no data -> global de-duplication
- source de-duplication / Virtual Synthetic
- 2-3 less space than any other competition because of global de-dup / variable & small block de-duplication
29:57 Customer story and Data Domain global de-duplication
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1797s
- 9TB VMware
- first backup occupied 0.6TB (600GB) - almost nothing
- 1:15 de-dup with just 1st backup
- many products have issue to overcome 1:8 de-duplication with over 30 days retention
- here it was just after 1st backup
- Data Domain has 1:100 to 1:300 de-duplication with 30 days retention
- this makes Data Domain cheap!
30:52 Small customer - 300GB of SAP/Oracle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1852s
- De-duplication after 4 backups was 1:15 - great one!
31:12 How much Data Domain do I need for my backups?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1872s
- For 10TB / 30 days retention usually we need 8TB
- rule of thumb
- huge small amount
31:37 Tool for sizing Data Domain - Sizer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1897s
31:52 Compression card
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=1912s
- we can even further decrease the cost!
- example with VMs built from 3 blocks
- if Data Domain sees a new block he must write to disk
- Data Domain will compress new block further
- DD6300 - lz algorithm for new blcosk - lz not very effective but very little impact on DD processor
- DD6400 - compression of new blocks is made by compression card
- much faster
- better compression, much less space is required(gz or gzfast)
33:40 How less space DD6400 takes over DD6300?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=2020s
- Migrating from DD63300 100TB to DD6400 - DD6400 will require only 80TB space
- reason -> lz compression of new blocks vs gz/gzfas on DD6400
- these number are from worldwide statistics
- detailed stats for files / databases
- compression card is in DD6400 / DD6900 / DD9400 / DD9900
35:45 Customer example tat migrated from DD4200 (no compression card) to DD6900 (with compression card
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=2145s
- Space dropped from 27TB (DD4200) to 20TB (DD6900)
36:05 Summery - DD6400 with the same net capacity is cheaper than DD6300
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=2165s
- similar price
- less storage required
36:42 - Parameters of DD6400
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ieVepB2kno&t=2202s
- part of new models family - DD6900 / DD9400 / DD9900
- DD6400 capacity from 8TB to 172TB net with increments of 4TB
- capacity of other models
- DD6400 uses 8TB drives
- DD6400 has 270 simultaneous backups -> huge important
- streams of other models
- DD6400 is 2U / 3U shelf - max 2 shelves
- DD6400 built in Ethernet card 10Gb -> SFP/BasetT to choose
- DD6400 allows for 3 additional Ethernet cards - the same as above or 25Gb
- DD6400 allows for 1 additional FC card
