Virtualization Increases Data Volume, Requires New Backup Solution

When FTC virtualized its environment, the company’s IT staff decided the time was right to upgrade its backup infrastructure in hopes of improving speed and eliminating tape. “We went from a physical to a virtual environment, and our backup data grew significantly. We simply couldn’t back up everything because our backup jobs were running as long as 24 hours, and tape management was taking up more and more of our day,” said Jamie Mouzon, technical services coordinator at Farmers Telephone Cooperative.

Mouzon said that the first step in overhauling FTC’s backup infrastructure was to replace its legacy backup application with Veeam Backup & Recovery. After Veeam was up and running, it was time to look for a disk-based backup system capable of handling the increased data load. “We were really attracted to the level of integration between ExaGrid and Veeam,” he said. “The two products work hand-in-hand to deliver fast backups and restores, and when it comes to deduplication and replication, there’s no device on the market any better than ExaGrid.”

"When it comes to deduplication and replication, there’s no device on the market any better than ExaGrid. "

Scalability e Tuputupu ae

FTC purchased a two-site ExaGrid solution and installed one system in its main datacenter and a second offsite for disaster recovery. Over time, the company has scaled the system to handle more data and now has a total of six systems, three in each datacenter.

“We started out with two appliances to back up a limited number servers and then expanded with a third system to handle more data because it was working so well. Since then, we’ve transitioned even more systems to ExaGrid for backup and have added three more appliances to handle the load. We’re looking at sending at least another 20TB of backup data to ExaGrid and will eventually eliminate tape,” Mouzon said.

O fa'ata'ita'iga a le ExaGrid e mafai ona fa'afefiloi ma fa'afetaui i totonu o se fua fa'atatau e tasi e fa'ataga ai se fa'amaumauga atoa e o'o atu i le 2.7PB fa'atasi ai ma se fua fa'atatau tu'ufa'atasi o le 488TB/hr, i se faiga e tasi. E otometi lava ona fa'afeso'ota'i masini i le faiga fa'a-fa'atau. O mea faigaluega ta'itasi e aofia ai le aofa'i talafeagai o le gaosiga, manatua, tisiki, ma le bandwidth mo le tele o fa'amaumauga. I le fa'aopoopoina o le fa'atusatusaina ma le gafatia, o le fa'amalama fa'apolopolo e tumau pea le umi a'o fa'atuputeleina fa'amaumauga. O le paleni o uta otometi i fale teu oloa uma e mafai ai ona fa'aoga atoatoa mea uma. O fa'amaumauga o lo'o to'esea i totonu o se fale teu fa'asoa, ma e le gata i lea, o fa'amaumauga o lo'o to'esea i le lalolagi atoa i fale teu oloa uma.

12:1 Deduplication Helps to Minimize Data Footprint

Mouzon reports that ExaGrid’s data deduplication technology helps to reduce the amount of data stored on the system. “ExaGrid’s data deduplication reduces our data by 12:1, so we’re able to store much more information than we ever thought we could. It’s really unbelievable,” he said.

E tusia sa'o e ExaGrid fa'amaumauga i se disk-cache Landing Zone, aloese mai le fa'aogaina o le laina ma fa'amautinoa le maualuga o le fa'atinoga o fa'amaumauga, lea e maua ai le fa'amalama fa'asao pupuu. Adaptive Deduplication e fa'atino le toesea ma le toe faia fa'atasi ma fa'amaumauga mo se vaega malosi toe fa'aleleia (RPO). A'o fa'ate'aina fa'amaumauga i le fale teu oloa, e mafai fo'i ona toe fa'afo'i i se nofoaga lona lua o le ExaGrid po'o le ao lautele mo le fa'alavelave fa'afuase'i (DR).

E mafai e ExaGrid ma Veeam ona toe faʻaleleia vave se faila poʻo le VMware virtual machine e ala i le faʻaogaina saʻo mai le ExaGrid appliance pe a fai e leiloa le faila, leaga pe faʻailoga pe o le VM teuina muamua e le maua. O lenei vave toe faʻaleleia e mafai ona o le ExaGrid's Landing Zone - o se faʻapipiʻi faʻapipiʻi televave i luga o le masini ExaGrid o loʻo taofia ai faʻamaumauga lata mai i lo latou tulaga atoa. O le taimi lava e toe faʻafoʻi mai ai le siosiomaga faʻapipiʻi muamua i se tulaga galue, o le VM o loʻo lagolagoina i luga o le ExaGrid appliance e mafai ona faʻafeiloaʻi i le teuina muamua mo le faʻaauau pea.

“We were able to get the system up and running and working with Veeam in no time at all. We’ve also found it very easy to use and to maintain. The interface is simple to work with and it provides fast access to all the information we need to manage and monitor the system,” Mouzon said. “Also, ExaGrid’s customer support is the best in the field. Our support engineer monitors our system remotely and knows about any potential issue even before we do. When we first purchased the ExaGrid system, we were assigned a support engineer, and he has worked with us from day one. If I have any questions, I can reach out to him at any time. I deal directly with my assigned engineer, which means that I don’t need to waste time explaining our device layout every time I need support. My engineer has actually notified me of a problem on our ExaGrid even before I was made aware of the issue. I would recommend ExaGrid to anyone based solely on the top-notch support we receive,” said Mouzon.

Mouzon said that he’d recommend the ExaGrid system to other organizations seeking to reduce backup times and eliminate tape.

“The ExaGrid system has been a fantastic solution for us. We’ve been able to achieve our original goals of improving backup speed and reducing the amount of time spent on backups – and we’ve also eliminated tape. We’re confident that we’ll be able to grow the system seamlessly as our needs increase.”
