Common Storage Challenges on Premises
High Cost
Building and maintaining
on-premises storage
hardware is expensive
Compliance
Meeting compliance regulations
for facilities is difficult to achieve
with traditional on premises
deployments
Complex and Slow
Logistical overhead limits
deployment time

4.
Benefits of AWS for Primary Storage
Integrated
Optimize your storage
solutions by integrating
multiple AWS services
Secure
Encrypt data and
tightly control access
Cost Efficient
Allows you to pay
only for what you use
Easy to maintain
No need to
buy or maintain
on-premises hardware

 Massively Scalable Deduplication Software
Enables Primary and Secondary Backups to AWS and Hybrid Cloud.
Hugh Emberson, CTO

Cloud
StorReduce
StorReduce
Purpose Built
Backup
Appliances:
e.g.Data Domain
Tape
Object Clone
Save 60%
Near instantaneous, unlimited copying of
an entire data set at PB scale, for free
Scale-out software, single namespace:
• Deduplication
• Replication between Clouds & Regions
• Cloning
Save up to 80%: Install on-premises in your
existing backup software to send backups and
archives to cloud. Remove PBAAs (like Data
Domain) and tape. Can also install on cloud.
Use any cloud service on backup data moved to
cloud.

11.
Use Cloud Services on Backup Data Moved to Cloud
Cloud
Extract Metadata
& Data
Dark Data
Intelligence
E.g. Search inside all files for any word
or phrase rather than look through a
catalog of backups
Search,
Machine
Learning,
Analytics…

Globe Telecom
 Philippines market leader
 +65 million subscribers
Business Goal
 Repurpose on-prem appliances
 Cost-effective long-term solution with one standard of data protection

21.
Business Challenges
 Data lifecycle up to 10 years
 Cloud without deduplication too costly
 End-to-end security requirements
 Data growth
 Static workflow
 No resources for PBBAs

22.
Solution Brief
 Discovered StorReduce on APN Blog
 Self-service procurement with AWS Marketplace
 No new hardware required
 Supported scale-out deployment
 Reduced cost, bandwidth requirements, and backup window
 Integrated using native tools (AWS CLI)

Successful POC
• The POC was quick and effortless. Within one week Globe Telecom was able to upload and
download 3 month’s worth of backups, of one system, through StorReduce to AWS Cloud
which validated the joint solution
• Globe Telecom was able to move straight into production from the POC without having
to re-upload all of the data.
• Globe Telecom went into production in June, 2016
