Enabling TSM Unified Recovery Management Replication

In the IBM Thought Leadership Whitepaper, 10 Ways to Save Money with IBM TSM, “IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Suite for Unified Recovery simplifies and streamlines storage management, helping organizations control both the risks and costs of data protection and recovery.” This blog post visits the savings NetEx’s HyperIP offers by running TSM Replication, a feature of Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition and Tivoli Storage Manager Suite for Unified Recovery, over the WAN.

Previous blog posts talk about the performance improvement of TSM replication over HyperIP (http://www.netex.com/blog/?p=206). The following chart describes the true performance of replication over HyperIP (data provided by NetEx):

HyperIP enables TSM replication to see near wire speed, over any distance, even over lossy WANs. With HyperIP’s block level compression, throughput can literally exceed wire speed by as much as 6x; with lossy WANs, over 12x. This means a replication window that moves GB’s of data can be reduced from hours to minutes, without having to increase the bandwidth of the WAN links between remote TSM server nodes. Bandwidth savings alone can return the HyperIP investment in less than 3 months.

Goes together like PB & J

Here is a brief success story about a Financial Services Company that uses HyperIP WAN Optimization virtual appliance to optimize their Veeam Backup & Replication.

The company uses a DS3 circuit between data centers and carves out an 8 Mb MPLS circuit for replication and SQL log file transfers. Packet loss and excessive latency was causing poor application performance.

From a high level standpoint, they wanted to improve Veeam Backup & Replication performance, reduce bandwidth costs by using their existing WAN more efficiently, and provide a disaster recovery program that they could rely upon.

HyperIP was downloaded from the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace (VAM) and installed on two existing VMware servers. In a very short period of time the customer’s IT architect installed HyperIP  and shortly thereafter was optimizing the Veeam Backup & Replication. Citrix WANscaler was also tested but the customer selected HyperIP for a variety of reasons:

Using a virtual infrastructure and virtual appliance provided ease of deployment, low cost of deployment, ease of integration into the existing infrastructure and the speed of deployment for newly created virtual machines.

For this customer it was extremely important that HyperIP was certified as VMware Ready versus other products. Customer Quotation – IT Infrastructure engineer:

“HyperIP did what I needed it to do at a fraction of the cost of the competition. Ease of implementation, good documentation, and pleasant experiences with support. HyperIP reduced the time to replicate VMware VMs by more than 80% while using less bandwidth. It was easy to implement due to good documentation and responsive tech support. The cost of increasing bandwidth was significantly higher than the cost of HyperIP.”

So with HyperIP and Veeam Backup & Replication this company has a replication (disaster recovery) solution they are happy with, are getting better WAN throughput and performance and are reducing costs by leveraging their existing infrastructure.

On the Road to a Cloudy World

Posted by Marketing

Recently we wrote about WAN optimizers becoming indispensable for cloud applications like backup/replication and disaster recovery.

In the past year we’ve watched a significant number of companies emerge to provide cloud services for a variety of applications that vary in scope and nature. More and more cloud users expect quick storage access from their mission critical data from remote networking architectures, including the ability to replicate and restore data when needed. This is not always possible because of the same network issues that can slow down recovery of secondary data: bandwidth restrictions, network latency, jitter, packet loss, bit errors, poor line quality and network errors.

Yes, clouds offer many benefits, including a theoretically limitless capacity and scalability, elimination of hardware acquisition and infrastructure expansion costs, the ability to budget for future growth, even the conversion of capital expenses into operating expenses. But for cloud applications to reach their true potential, they need to deal with network latency to deliver on throughput and performance. This is especially true for bandwidth intensive applications. In other words, data needs to be at the right time and right place for clouds to be effective.

We’d like to hear from companies using cloud services on their existing IP networks that are willing to evaluate HyperIP in their environment. You will see firsthand the performance improvements delivered by HyperIP that are compelling to your business.
