Business Challenge

Current Challenges of Enterprise Backup Market

▶ Increased complexity of products due to vendor market consolidation.

▶ The services and engines of software is getting much heavier due to the added tons of
features. It makes hard for enterprise who just want to build regular backup environment.
Many are reluctant to proceed upgrade.

▶ Due to extreme complexity of the aged software, It requires customer to prepare many
unwanted system configuration or changes in order for them to keep maintaining. Isn’t it
something wrong? It is the customers who are allowed to request requirements to run their
backup policy. Not the other way around!

For example

▶ Some backup software occupying over 25% market-share requires all Windows servers to join
same domain for them to construct SAN backup environment. And implementation procedures
are extremely complicated since its underlying architecture was started to build before SAN era.

Business Challenge

From Storage Magazine, 2008

Given the maturity of the backup and recovery market most products are packed with features. The most
common complaint we’ve observed is product complexity.

From Storage Magazine, 2008

Users of the enterprise products seemed to take out some of their frustrations about complexity in the
product quality section of the survey.

From 2008 Gartner Report for Backup Software Market

As this market matures, providing new capabilities that integrate with existing architectures becomes
more difficult. Frustrated enterprises are straying from their goal of a single recovery solution

Why VIRBAK ABIO

VIRBAK ABIO is a data protection application, capable
® of running on heterogeneous operating systems and
VIRBAK ABIO v3.2
The Fastest Deployment. The Simplest Management.
providing unparalleled backup and restore
performance. Given the dynamic nature of change in
IT infrastructure and complexity challenges that many
enterprise suffer from, VIRBAK ABIO has been
designed to be both highly flexible and scalable,
readily equipped to handle any changes in customer
environment. Unlike others, the architecture was
started to build on efficiently working in SAN (iSCSI)
environment as well as DAS. Thus, it is proud of the
capability to provide the fastest deployment and the
simplest management in building SAN backup
environment.

The need for a flexible and efficient storage solution
is becoming more and more crucial as backup server
usage continues to grow exponentially. Unfortunately,
Product Name ABIO with the exponential data growth comes greater cost,
while managing backup and restore requests across
Current Version Version 3.0 multiple servers becomes increasingly difficult.

Vendor VIRBAK With VIRBAK ABIO, these difficulties are a thing of the
past. It is designed to meet current needs faced by
Founded September 2002 growing organizations and ensure both simple and
reliable data protection, without compromising
performance or features.

Fast Deployment and Great Scalability
▶ Do not require system reboot after installing any node type such as Master, Parallel and Storage Client.
▶ Provide simple steps of master server installation and takes 1 minute from preparing for backup
infrastructure to completing backup job configuration and running.
▶ Through Drive Mapping Wizard, upgrading from client to parallel or storage client and having them share
same tape resources takes within 30 seconds without system reboot whatsoever.
▶ Easily scalable from small business to great enterprise environment. It does NOT require any Windows
system related configuration to configure SAN backup environment. Some backup application requires all
nodes to join in same domain group to configure Windows SAN backup.

► Support D2D2T backup. Disk storage can be chosen as a first primary storage. By the sets of rule for migration,
data is automatically migrated to 2nd and 3rd storage and duplicated to removable tape volume for being sent
to offsite.
► Complement migration and duplication job for supporting D2D2T backup and Vaulting
► Migration policy set by two criteria:
1. Data retention for source copy of backup set.

► Keep data on disk storage for shorter term. More reliable accessibility for recent file restore
► Better performance and less mechanical failure for the recent backup data.
► Using policy-driven automated migration process, disk won’t be full and always available for the next backup job
destination.
► During off-hours of master server, migration can be performed from disk to tape it will not affect the current

Disk Storage Backup – Workload Balancing to the Multiple Parallel Servers
► Disk storage can be created on parallel server as well. Thus, master server can balance out the work
load of client backups to multiple parallel servers or storage clients.
► Same migration policy can be applied to disk storage of parallel servers and storage clients. It is possible
to migrate data from the disk storage of parallel server to the tape storage of master server.
► Significantly reduce the burden on master server and its network bandwidth with minimal storage
resources.
