Storing Archive Data to Meet
Compliance Challenges
Tony Pearson, IBM
sBR31
#IBMEDGE

2. This session will cover the IBM
software and hardware solutions that
your organization can use to store
archive data, including features like
immutability, Write-Once-Read-Many
(WORM) technology and Non-Erasable,
Non-Rewriteable (NENR) enforcement.
The discussion will include high-level
concepts like chronological and
event-based retention, litigation hold
and release, as well as an overview of
the products and solutions from IBM
that you can deploy today.

9. What We are Finding in Customer Environments
Current Storage Pyramid  Most companies, due to overprovisioning and poor visibility
into their storage environment, have anywhere from 30% to
0-1% Tier 0 40% disk storage utilization
40-60% Tier 1  They have:
– Overly complex storage management environments
20-40% Tier 2
– Over provisioned storage
– Limited transparency of the data value
Tier 3
10-20% – Limited financial transparency
– Limited use of tools & operational execution to reduce the amount of
wasted data
 Over reliance on Tier 1 storage
 Rarely revisit tiering structure for applications & data once
deployed
 Excessive replication which also has implications on archive,
backup/recovery and disaster recovery
 Hold excessive data on-line which negatively impacts
application performance & availability
#IBMEDGE

12. Definition of Backup vs. Archiving
• Backup is for recovery from hardware failure
and/or recent data corruption
• Archive is for space management and long
term retention
– Archiving is an intelligent process for managing inactive
or infrequently accessed data, that still has value, while
providing the ability to preserve, search and retrieve the
information during a specified retention period.
#IBMEDGE

13. Shifting how Archive is Viewed
• Keeping Too Much • Keep Needed Data
• Disorganized Only
– Has some
• Difficult to Find Items
organizational
• Slow to Retrieve value/purpose
• Little Value Provided • Data is Indexed
– Easy to Query/Find
– Retrieval
• Low Cost to Maintain
for Long-term
– Secured data.
• New Value Generation
– Innovation / Analysis

– Manages migration of data within storage hierarchy
#IBMEDGE

27. IBM System Storage Archive
Manager Overview
• SSAM is licensed by data capacity rather than number of
processors
– Primary storage pools only
• TSM support for Non-Erasable, Non-Rewriteable (NENR)
media, including
– SnapLock™ for IBM N series and NetApp storage
devices
