Why Disk and Why Deduplication?

Why Disk?
• Faster backups and restores
• More reliable backups and restores
• Improved security
• Less management time
Why Deduplication?
• Disk becomes expensive due to history/retention
• Backup can retain 10 to 100 times the primary storage
• The amount of disk required needs to be reduced
• Deduplication reduces the amount of disk by storing only unique
bytes or blocks
exagrid.com | 4
With Deduplication, Implementation Matters

Deduplication
• Is a required feature that reduces the amount of disk
• Depending on implementation, deduplication can break backup
If deduplication is not implemented correctly, then

• Backups will be slower
• Restores will be slower
• Instant VM recoveries will take hours
• Offsite tape copies could take days
• The backup window will grow in length as data grows
• Disk usage can grow faster for some more than others
• The bandwidth to replicate offsite could be greater
• There will be expensive future forklift upgrades

Deduplication Deployment Scenarios

Client-side Dedupe
• Small remote offices
• WAN-efficient transfer of data
to the corporate data center Media Server Dedupe
Average 7:1 dedupe ratio
• Use more disk with longer retention
• Use more WAN bandwidth
• Inline
• Slower backups
• Slow restores (rehydration)
Dedicated Dedupe Appliance

Average 20:1 dedupe ratio
• Uses less disk with longer retention
• Uses less WAN bandwidth
• Faster backups – dedicated appliance
• Faster restores – dedicated appliance
• Offload the media server
• Heterogeneous environments

Disk Backup with Deduplication

Architectural Approaches
• Inline deduplication with scale-up
• Target-side appliances
• Deduplication in the backup software to straight disk

• Landing zone with scale-out
exagrid.com | 7
Backup Software Server-based Deduplication
• Compute-intensive inline process

in an already taxed media server
slows backups down
• Data is 100% deduplicated on

disk which slows down restores,
recoveries, and tape copies due
to a lengthy rehydration process
for every request
• Average deduplication ratio for

software is 7:1 versus 20:1 in a
dedicated appliance requiring far
more disk and WAN bandwidth
exagrid.com | 8
Challenges of Traditional Inline Deduplication

• Slows backup down due to
compute-intensive inline process
• Data is 100% deduplicated on disk
which slows down all requests due
to data rehydration time
• Backup window grows as data
grows since only disk capacity
is added
Backup software has a lower

deduplication rate, resulting in:
• More storage
• More bandwidth
exagrid.com | 9
Inline with Scale-up Challenges

Slows backup down due to compute-intensive inline process
Data is 100% deduplicated on disk which slows down restores,

recoveries, and tape copies due to a lengthy rehydration process
for every request
Backup window grows as data grows since only disk capacity

is added, ultimately forcing a forklift upgrade
Need to determine up front what you require – guess at what

is needed
Controllers are obsolete each time a new chip becomes available
