Legacy BDR Pain: Unreliable
• Hardware failures– Hard disks have a 4-year failure rate of 8% -
41%– RAID cards causing odd errors & data
corruption– Power supplies & cooling fans
• Software complexity– Software from multiple vendors to correctly
configure– Many moving parts to monitor & diagnose
• Chain-based backup fallout– Unexpected reboots, server restores, or other
events force rebasing and/or reseeding
Poll to rank most
freq. cause of
unreliability

Legacy BDR Pain: Labor Intensive
• Unbox it, physically setup• Windows first run, patching• Configure network & RMM tools• Download & install all software• Provision licenses & cloud accounts• Burn-in testing• Install agents, reboot servers• Take base images, perform seeds
Poll: how many minutes to
setup new BDR from scratch

Legacy BDR Pain: Slow
• BDR storage today is archival-class storage– Economical, but simply not architected for
production levels of performance• Typical BDR provides 100 IOPS for a
virtualized VM, equivalent to single HDD– Take the diskspd benchmark challenge:
diskspd -b8K -d3600 -o8 -t8 -h -r -w25 -L -Z3G -c100G Poll: average time to
have customer back in production after
they call you with an IT failure
Poll: VM performance while virtualized on a
BDR?(much slower, slow, same,
faster, much faster)

Legacy BDR Pain: Expensive
• Expensive to buy– 1 TB RAID1 HDD storage– 4 core i5 processor– 16 GB RAM– $1600 - $2000 upfront and ~$200/month
• Expensive to operate– Manual DR & boot testing– No single pane of glass to monitor & manage– Frequent rebasing or reseeding– System down events turn into all-night
marathons

• Enterprise SSDs 5x more expensive
• Client SSDs unreliable for server workloads
• IOPS deterioration as drive fills up over time
• 10x write-amplification effects running RAID on top of SSDs, wears out SSDs quickly
Why not just use consumer-grade SSDs?
