● Eventually Host VM Images?
Flexible Data Protection Hardware
● Backup Appliances Become Data Protection Appliances● Host backup software/agents
● Present production data stores
● Efficient Recovery of VM Images
Not All Applications Are the Same
● Sub 20 Min RPO/RTP
Need Replication, Live Access
Should be less than 5% of VM population
Must be to a “live” target and maybe “warm VM”
● 20 min to 60 min
Need Recovery-in-place
Frequent Change Block Backups
Backup Storage System Able To Provide near-production performance
● 60 Min +

Challenges of Traditional Inline Deduplication
• Slows backup down due to
compute-intensive inline process
• Data is 100% deduplicated on disk
which slows down all requests due
to data rehydration time
• Backup window grows as data
grows since only disk capacity is
added
Backup software has a lower
deduplication rate, resulting in:• More storage• More bandwidth
