Disaster Recovery Market

IDC estimates worldwide storage replication market to be $2.7 billion, a 7.6% increase from 2007. And, to $4.2 billion in 2013, an average annual growth of 8.7%.*

Growth is expected in the Linux and x86 operating environments. The speed of growth in the x86 environment is mostly due to the success of VMware and other providers of virtualization technology.

The role of replication is evolving beyond disaster recovery and business continuance scenarios. Replication software is also being used whenever a replica is needed anywhere in the organization from the core to the edge.

* IDC WW Storage Replication Software 2009-2013 Forecast


Considerations for replicated data

Can I replicate data across dissimilar storage, multiple storage vendors and multiple applications with a single solution?

Do my DR requirements change in a virtual environment?

Can I leverage my DR solution for other business purposes without increasing risk and complexity?

SnapMirror Overview

SnapMirror is a thin replication solution based on Data ONTAP Snapshot™ technology – Replicates volumes or qtrees from source to destination

NetApp storage systems– Transfers only changed unique blocks in 4KB

increments– Supports synchronous, semi-synchronous, and

asynchronous modes– Reduces bandwidth requirements by 70% with native

network compression– Works with NetApp deduplication for FAS on source– Supports dissimilar systems and disk types

Efficiency: Storage

Extend the storage efficiencies on the primary storage across the network to secondary storage – Cost savings for DR with deduplication

Remove redundant data blocks regardless of application or protocol

Provision storage as fast as you can create virtual machines

Dedupe can recoup 30% of capacity on average and up to 90% for some data sets in virtual environments

Only NetApp offers deduplication for primary, secondary, and archival storage tiers

SnapMirror extends the 90% primary storage efficiency

“Do I think we buy less storage on a year‑to‑year basis because of how we use NetApp thin provisioning? I certainly do. We probably buy 20% to 25% less storage per year. That saves us between $75,000 and $100,000 annually. It allows us to give an application the illusion of having more space than it does, while properly allocating the storage for it behind the scenes.”

- Peter Allen Director of IT Operations, Nixon Peabody


Efficiency: Management

SnapMirror reduces management overhead by 50%

Independent study concludes that SnapMirror async operational cost 50% less than EMC SRDF/A*

Policy-based software that automates data replication and failover Faster set-up, more reliable end-to-end data

Compression Decompression


Compression and Decompression

On the source system:− Data blocks are handed off to

compression engine for compression− Compressed blocks are transferred

over the network

On the destination system:− Compressed blocks are received

and decompressed− Decompressed data is reordered

and written to the disk/volume.

Why SnapMirror Network Compression?


Why SnapMirror Network Compression?

Maintain same RPO level for increasing replication demands

Improve RPO without buying more bandwidth

Use the network bandwidth for other purposes

Speed up the initial transfers


Maintaining the Same RPO

Problem

Your data replication needs are growing. You need more bandwidth to maintain the same level of RPO.

Solution

By using network compression, it is possible to maintain the same RPO without purchasing additional network bandwidth


Improve your RPO Without Buying More Bandwidth

Problem

You are using all of your network bandwidth. However, you want to reduce their exposure to data loss—in other words, to improve their RPO.

Solution

By using network compression, you can improve your RPO without purchasing more network bandwidth.


Use Network Bandwidth for Other Purposes

Problem

Your replication is consuming all of your bandwidth. You want to use the network bandwidth for other purposes such as client access or applications without purchasing additional bandwidth.

Solution

By using network compression, it is possible to reduce the bandwidth consumed by SnapMirror without sacrificing RPO, thereby freeing up network bandwidth for other purposes.


Speed up Initial Transfers

Problem

Initial SnapMirror transfers could be large and therefore could take a long time to complete under bandwidth constraints.

SolutionBy using network compression, it is possible to speed up the initial SnapMirror transfers.


Performance


Compression Ratios

Compression ratio depends on the data set

Range varies quite a lot

Following table shows achieved ratios in our lab

Customers have seen as high as 13:1 for their data sets

Compression Ratio Percent Bandwidth Savings

Oracle DB 3.5:1 71%

Home Dir 2.7:1 62%

Exchange DB 1.5:1 34%


Sample Compression Ratios from Customers

Data Set Compression Ratio

MS SQL LUNS 6:1

CIFS 13:1

Small text files 12:1

Above numbers are some samples from our customers

NetApp does not guarantee similar compression ratios


CPU Overhead Due to Compression

CPU overhead due to compression can be viewed in two ways

Constant transfer time– CPU overhead is due to compression alone– Overhead is not typically significant

Reduced transfer time– CPU overhead is due to compression AND

additional SnapMirror work to complete transfer in shorter time

– Overhead can be very high


CPU Overhead for a Given Compression Ratio For a given compression ratio, CPU overhead

increase can be approximated to be linearly proportional to the increase in compression throughput (or bandwidth)


Platform Compression Throughput Limits

Approximate maximum compression throughput is 60Mb/sec per processing core. The CPU core is 100% utilized at this throughput.

At the limits specified in the table, all CPUs are utilized by compression

Storage Platform Maximum Compression Throughput

FAS2020, FAS2050, and FAS3020 60Mb/sec

FAS2040, FAS3050, FAS3040, FAS3140, FAS6030, and FAS6040

120Mb/sec

FAS3160, FAS3070, FAS3170, and FAS6070

240Mb/sec

FAS6080 500Mb/sec


When (not) to Use Network Compression?


When (not) to Use Network Compression?

Ideal for low-bandwidth links. This also results in lower CPU overhead

Do not use network compression when throughput without compression (bandwidth) exceeds or comes close to the compression throughput limits of the platform

Do not enable compression when there are already CPU bottlenecks in the system


WAN Optimization Devices


WAN Optimization Devices

If your goal is:

– Only SnapMirror data reduction, try compression feature

– Enterprise wide data reduction, WAN optimization device is probably a better fit

If there is packet loss on the link:

– WAN optimization device could help

In general, it is not a good idea to combine SnapMirror network compression and WAN optimization device


SnapMirror Network Compression

Benefits– Improve your RPO without additional costs

Data transfers are accelerated so you can replicate more often

– Lower network costs Enable companies to lease small, less expensive network as appropriate Ideal solution for companies with remote offices with small network links,

but require robust data protection

– Do more with what you have Frees up network bandwidth for other business use

– Included with SnapMirror No additional hardware costs; no additional license costs; no devices to

manage
