Rocket to Recovery Tom Jackson Sr. System Engineer / Sr. Professional Trainer [email protected] CONFIDENTIAL | ©2014 Unitrends | www.unitrends.com Recovery: The Problem Restoring IT Infrastructure – Not Just Single Servers Forrester and DRJ asked 200 readers: Were you able to recover from your most recent disruption in less than one hour? 30% responded yes In 2010, 13% responded yes In 2013, 2% responded yes In 2007, CONFIDENTIAL 2 Change is Why; Today’s Change is Virtualization • Storage Tuning • You need Granularity at HOS/GOS/application level • We have Hyper-V gaining ground on vSphere • We have development Containers and Docker poised to challenge • There are Hybrid, private, public clouds, and now bare metal clouds • We have AWS leading; But Azure accelerating fast • And so much more… Adaptability to the increasing pace of change… CONFIDENTIAL 3 4 Seven Shortcuts to Losing your Data Ignore potential hardware failures Trust your fellow co-workers to do the right thing Disregard potential software corruption Rely upon the honesty of others Pay no mind to computer viruses Play the odds on disasters Take recovery for granted CONFIDENTIAL 5 What is a Disaster? • Catastrophic Act of God? • Malicious Employee, Hacker, Terrorist? • HW or SW failure? • Corrupt data being replicated? • Oops! I guess I really needed that file? CONFIDENTIAL 6 Definitions: RPO & RTO v RPA & RTA RTO – Recovery Time Objective > How quickly should critical services be restored RPO – Recovery Point Objective > What Point should data be available (how old can the data be) RPA – Recovery Point Actual > At what point did I actually recover (how old is the data) RTA – Recovery Time Actual > How long did it really take RPO Last System Backup/Copy CONFIDENTIAL System Loss/Failure RTO System Restored 7 DR = Local Recovery to Business Continuity Use a Hybrid Cloud DR Strategy Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Meet all recovery objectives Minimize outage and unplanned down time Achieve the LOWEST possible TCO WAN Optimized Replication On-Premise Data Backup and Recovery CONFIDENTIAL 8 Minimize Outages & Unplanned Downtime DR REMOTE CLOUD RISKY BETTER BEST Disaster Recovery • • • Error Prone (Human error) Manual High Risk (w onsite 2nd unit) Secondary site – completely automated replication and spin up • • Automated replication Self Service / Assisted spin up anytime Cost / CAPEX • • Lower initial purchase cost Must buy new HW in future for new features • • LOW – low annual cost only – no equipment to own Guaranteed latest hardware/software features Requires managing tape/drive or 2nd unit Manage recovery from offsite storage services HIGH – management of a second data center / site LOW – nothing to manage, nothing to upgrade Limited to Hardware / Virtualization reduces cost Unlimited to cloud provider scaling capability Cost / OPEX • • Scale CONFIDENTIAL LOCAL Limited to hardware • • HIGH – requires mirrored second site. Higher initial annual cost Cost of 2nd data center Must buy new hardware in future for new features • 9 How to Start Sort your Cattle, Pets, & People We expect loss with Cattle and just make hamburger We know Pets will pass but we try to extend their lives We will go to the ends of the earth to preserve People Sort your applications the same way CONFIDENTIAL 10 Taking Another path Be prepared – Assume the worst • • • • Plan for hardware failure Minimize tape use Use automated backup policies Use retention for recovery from software corruption, human maliciousness, and viruses • Think Hybrid – On-premise and Offsite (esp. in the cloud) • Use disaster recovery to avoid fatal consequences of disasters • Test your DR plan! CONFIDENTIAL (This is Huge!) 11 Key Components to a Great Backup and Recovery Solution • An integrated appliance as well as a SW based solution • Backup of the Physical and Virtual operating systems all-in-one • On-premise backup device for immediate restore of (minor disaster) issues • Replication and an extension to the Cloud for (major disaster) issues • An archiving capability to tape, removable HDDs, and the commercial Cloud for data retention • “Backup Audit” mode testing to confirm individual machine recovery • Instant recovery for critical Physical and Virtual machines • Automated “service level” DR and SLA testing to confirm application level recovery (with DR orchestration) • SLA compliance reporting for IT management and LOB owners CONFIDENTIAL 12 Best Practices These best practices fall into four main categories: 1. Implement & proactively train on detailed DR plans When, Where, Who, What apps Roles & Responsibilities, Expectations, Hand-offs Phones, Wireless, Cell, Desks, Laptops, Travel, Lodging, Food What's not allowed (Facebook, YouTube, Streaming media) 2. Set specific DR metrics for RTOs and RPOs From your BoD or LoB 3. Test DR plans much more frequently Have you ever tested? (Who has the time?) 4. Spend at least 2% of total IT on DR oriented items CONFIDENTIAL 13 Cloud Questions & Considerations How much CapEx are you saving vs monthly cloud service fees? Are you comfortable with the manageability and control of your data? Are you able to seed the cloud with any sort of direct access? How (and how quickly) can you recover from a real disaster from the cloud? How much “trust” do you have in your cloud service provider? Could you pass a compliance audit of your data in the cloud? CONFIDENTIAL 14 Thoughts to Ponder "...the business doesn’t care about IT. The business will only care about what it can do to generate more business…” Gartner, Daryl Plummer, 12/2011 "80+ years ago, most companies generated their own power because power companies either didn’t exist in the area or they were not secure, not reliable, not affordable, and not clean sources of power…” Think “Cloud”: Show the strategic business value of IT and provide positive business outcomes that transform your company...its about business, not technology CONFIDENTIAL 15 The Competitive Landscape For Hybrid Cloud DR Strategy The Model T • 1908-1927 • Longest production run till the Beetle in 1972 • 15 million vehicles produced; Made Henry Ford the richest man in the world • Good solution but: • Initially no options (no choices) The Competitive landscape • Off-premise (only) • Software (only) • Virtual Machine backup (only) • Resource licensing (only) • Base licensing, +++ (only) • Good solution but: • No options (no choices) • None on the horizon CONFIDENTIAL 16 Backup to Disaster Recovery as a Service Archiving NAS Single Pane of Glass Web 2.0 User Interface SAN TAPE Removable Disk Applications Virtual & Physical OS Any vendor Storage LAN 1:10 GB Ethernet • • • • • • • • Clone and ship back Spin-up Systems on Unitrends Physical and Virtual Storage vMotion or Restore data Windows Instant Recovery Bare Metal Restores Dissimilar Restore: Applications P2P, P2V, V2P, V2V Archive Backups Send off-site Manage Retention To the Cloud Virtual & Physical OS Any vendor FC iSCSI Storage WAN Unitrends to Unitrends Replication CONFIDENTIAL Open VPN w/throttling Primary Secondary Client - Partner Client – Partner - Unitrends 17 VM Service Level, Automated DR Testing with Failover, Failback & Reporting Applications Primary Client - Partner Secondary Client – Partner - Unitrends The Set-Up Group VMs by Service ReliableDR Define the recovery order Define RPO & RTO Define the Service test ESXi ReliableDR Host-Based Replication ESXi The Test Network isolated Sandbox Any vendor Any vendor Production Storage Certified Replicas (Almost) Any Storage-based Replication VMs brought up in order The test is run RTA calculated/RPA Monitored Recovery point cataloged Unitrends to Unitrends Test repeated per schedule CONFIDENTIAL 18 Disaster Recovery = Recovery Assurance CONFIDENTIAL > DR policies are set for each application, incl RTO & RPO > Snapshots are scheduled & tested frequently – several times per day > Application RTAs are calculated & certified against RTO > RPAs are monitored to detect stale CRPs 19 Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Tool (Free) BC/DR Link CONFIDENTIAL Thank You for Attending Tech Demo: For additional information, attend one of our Interactive Tech Demos held daily during the week.
