Hi everyone, my name is Frank and i will introduce you about Arcserve UDP
First, what is the objective to do Backup?, think in restore, how many minutes are you able to lose to recover your data?, how much informacion are you able to lose when you recover it?
You have new concepts, rto,rpo
we know about traditional Backup to media, Append, differential and full
The problems are:
Now imagine that your Huge information could be deduplicated , for example you use your exchange mail to send the same letter to your whole organization which has one thousand persons,but your customize details, like Names,Birthdays and so on,every letter weight in kb is 40 so your exchange backup will have 40000 Kb or 40 MB, and now imagine the every person in your organization do the same 40Mb x1000, 40 GB in the same minute, traditional Backup compresses the letter whether it has only data and not video, but compression is only 25% and they can´t de deduplicated because evere letter is unique, this is a terrible headache!!
I have good news!!, Arcserve UDP can deduplicate information using 32,16,8 and 4 KB, so if you add compression and deduplication you only has maximum 100 KB of backup, that's real and not a Dream
but you say, and what happens if my media is broken?, this backup is done using HDD, you only new to install arcserve UDP and RPS in one Server which is only Software,you must keep in mind that is your use less Kb to deduplicate you need more memory but your data deduplication will be more!!, and if your data is super huge ,you only need more HDD capability
but you say, whay happens if we have ransomware attack and can't accessed to our files!!, don't worry, Arcserve UDP has infinite incremental Backups so if your data was encrypted , you have your backup if you want only minutes ago!!, it is called RPO(Recovey Point Object)
Ok but you say i need to restore a Huge Exchange DB for exmaple 4 TB, how many hours will it take?,i tell you only few clics doing recovery wiyhout restore, you only need one Server where you can attach your DB and data ready!!, so your rto (Recovery time object) will be almost 0
ok , but you wonder, if my critical Server failed, and its contigency fails too, and your workaround will take hours!!, and you struggle for your company that will lose millions of dollars, dont't worry too, you can create a Virtual Standby of your Server whether it is Virtual and have your Server Back in 15 minutes!!
Ok ok ok, i am amazed you say, but if my server is physical and old, you can do a BMR(Bare Metal Recovery) and Recovery you server in other one without matter of Brand and Model, you only need its drivers!! and it will come back and also migrated!!
Ok but what happens if a natural disaster or a big fire occurs in my Data Center, and my UDP Backup lose, we think it first, you can't replicate this data to a Remote RPS, which can be located in other city ,country or continent!!, but you worry about BW, don't worry , you can't limit your data Transfer automatically too using a clock and calendar, so when the BW is saturated , your only use the less BW possible
ok what actually, the law requires now 10 years of retention, what should i do to keep the information?
Use your Media, Arcserve UDP (Unified data Protection) talks with Arcserve Backup
you say i see manage UDP is so complicated, deduplication, Replication,infinite Incremental backups!!, how many jobs i must do!!
The cerry in the cake is that Arcserve UDP is easy to manage, because it is based on plans and not Jobs, all you have mentioned can be done in only one plan using a web console
