Standardized Infrastructure – HP Approach
Primary Data Center:
– Standardized Hardware
– Simplified Operations / Automation
– Less Resource Overhead
Disaster Recovery Site(s):
– Standardized Hardware
– Array-Level Capabilities
– Failover / Failback Operations Faster
Remote Office(s):
– Standardized Hardware
– Less/No Resource Overhead
– Shared Deduplicated Data = Less Traffic

HP StoreOnce : Federated Deduplication
Dedupe At Information Source
• Save Money: Eliminate the need for extra hardware
• Save Bandwidth: Eliminate the need to transfer fully hydrated
datasets
• Save Time: Reduce the backup window as information is created
Source
VM VM
Dedupe Between Information Source and Target
• Reduce Processing Burden: Offload responsibility from Application
Svr
• Increase Target Throughput: Save bandwidth / Save Time
• Improve Backup Efficiency: Backup servers become information-
aware
Backup Svr
Dedupe At Target Device
• Heterogeneous Support: VSA can use any disk
• Purpose Built Appliance: Optimized for backup operations
• Software Only: No Operational Changes – All the benefits of
virtualization
