  1. {DESCRIPTION} This is a title page. The module presented in this page is called - IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) May 2015 {TRANSCRIPT} Hello, my name is Tricia Jiang and I am a Technical Evangelist for the Tivoli storage products. Today what we are going to be going through is an overview of what Spectrum Protect is and then a lot of great resources on where you can go to get some more information.
  2. {DESCRIPTION} Software Defined Storage is an important strategic direction for IBM IBM Spectrum Storage is the name for IBM's software defined storage family Data Protection is an important part of SDS Tivoli Storage Manager is now IBM Spectrum Protect {TRANSCRIPT} On slide 2, when you start hearing all of these new names, I know it is confusing, what happened is due to the restructuring where we had the SDS being a very strategic direction for IBM, so to stay in that strategic direction IBM moved the Tivoli Storage Manager products, the data protection products over to the Software Defined Storage and so you will see the name Tivoli Storage Manager being replaced with Spectrum Protect. We are all struggling with that. Any time we have a new name after a product has been out there for so long obviously it just takes time to update to slideware, to update the products themselves. Currently you will see the products still show Tivoli Storage Manager, and to update all of the extensive resources we have out on the Web, whether it’s YouTube videos, or manuals, or whatever. So bear with us as we go through this name change.
  3. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains the topics that are covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} On slide 3, what we will be talking about today is first of all why do your customers need Spectrum Protect. Spectrum Protect, Tivoli Storage Manager, previously also ADSM has been around over 25 years now I believe in and what its aim is, is to protect customer’s data. Why? Well we all know, hardware fails and it takes vital data with it, you get laptops stolen or files that are corrupted for numerous reasons, you get IT centers which are wiped out due to natural disasters and to have a lot of regulatory requirements, let’s say data has to be retained and retrievable for a certain amount of time. All of this leads to needing a product that can truly manage and protect that vital information for customers and that is what Spectrum Protect does.
  4. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} When we look at slide four, most people think of Spectrum Protect as backup and that is our primary goal in life, to take data that sits out on customer’s production machines, whether those production machines are database machines, file servers, mail servers, workstations, whatever that data is, we want to be able to take that data, make a copy of it and send it over to our Tivoli Storage Manager server. So as we look at the basic architecture of Spectrum Protect you have our customer’s production machines and those become TSM clients, or Spectrum Protect clients and we will install a little piece of code on that. Then you have a dedicated machine which is going to be your Tivoli Storage Manager server, the Spectrum Protect server and it is going to consist of a database which is a DB2 database and then storage pools made up of disk, tape, VTL, whatever meets the customer’s needs. That’s one of the big advantages of Spectrum Protect, it is our flexibility and how we set up the Spectrum Protect servers. They can be on various platforms and they can contain the whole myriad of devices to store the customer’s backups on. So what we get is we have this ability to do these backups where on a scheduled basis or on an on demand basis the most recent versions of files are sent across the network, the information, the meta-information about the file is stored in our TSM DB2 database and the actual files themselves are stored somewhere in our storage pool which like I said can be disk, tape, VTL, any combination thereof. The key with Tivoli Storage Manager that really sets it apart from all of our competitors is how we do these backups. When we’re backing up a normal file system data, we are backing it up using something called Progressive Incremental. What this means is that we only back up new or changed files. Our competitors like Veritas, Net Backup and other people can’t do that. The reason we can is we have that DB2 database tracking the meta-information and figuring out what files have changed and therefore which files need to be backed up. So for normal file system data we don’t have this concept of full backups that have these reliant incrementals or so forth attached to them, we keep track of that every single file coming across, we know when it was backed up and we know which version it is. So backups are based on the versions. You set up a policy and you say I want to sleep a specific number of versions of files, and you could have one policy for your entire company or you can have hundreds of policies that say the CEO can keep 500 files and the CFOs can keep two versions, whenever you want to do. You can mix and match them and set it up to meet the customer’s needs. That is really powerful because it gives them the ability to match their backup strategy to their customer’s backup needs. I like to think of Progressive Incremental backup kind of like washing you clothes. With Tivoli Storage Manager we do a backup when we have a new or changed files just like you would wash and these of clothing when it was dirty or right when you first bought it and who knows how many people had tried it on before you. That makes sense, you do the laundry when you need to do the laundry, whereas these other companies that have the outdated idea of doing a full backup once a month or once a week followed by incrementals or such, that’s kind of like making you do laundry on every single piece of clothing you have in your wardrobe every weekend, that doesn’t make sense. Why would I dump out all my clothes and all my dresser drawers and all of myclosets and wash them even if they haven’t been used? That’s what those old outdated Net Backup and another products make you do and they make you do this weekly or monthly full backup in addition to the incrementals throughout the week. So Tivoli Storage Manager differentiates itself in the fact that we do have this Progressive Incremental where we backup only new or changed files for your file system files.
  5. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Moving on to slide five. We also have built into Tivoli and built into Spectrum Protect something called Archive. Archive differentiates from backup in the fact that archive is based upon a retention period, the number of days, months or years. For instance, with tax documents I need to keep my tax documents for seven years. So when I archive off my 2012 files I keep them for seven years and when I do my 2013 files, I keep them for seven years, versus backup which is a number of version, I kept three versions of a file, four versions of a file and then those files got automatically expired off. So archive is part of our base product, it utilizes the same infrastructure, they are not charged anything additional and it does its copies of files based upon the amount of time to keep those. Some of our folks actually have regulatory requirements where they need to take archive to a new level and prove that it has not been tampered with and I will talk about how you can turn a Spectrum Protect server, a TSM server into the retention box using our System Storage Archive Manager and I have a slide on that later. Just for your run-of-the-mill archives, we can utilize the archive functions and yes you can backup a file and then also archive it, that’s completely doable and in fact those customers would probably have backups of files that they also did archives of. However, if you don’t want to do that we have the ability to include and exclude lists out there. So when you’re sitting down with a customer and they start talking about protecting data, if they just want to do based upon versions, keeping data, the most recent three versions of files, that is backup. If they need to keep data for a specific amount of time, that is archive.
  6. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Let’s move on to slide six. We what we were talking about up to this point was backing up that flat files, just file system data. However, out in the world there are a lot of database and applications, whether it’s mail databases, whether it’s different types of SQL databases, Oracle, SAP, and these databases are more complex in the fact that there is a lot of logs and files that have to be kept in sync with each other so that the database comes back up in the correct format. Most database vendors provide an interface to do their backups of their database from so that these backups of that specific database are done in the correct sequence and ordering as the database manufacturer specifies. So, what Tivoli Storage Manager, Spectrum Protect does is it works with these vendor’s interfaces to do the backup of the SQL databases, SAP databases, Oracle databases and do them in the order that the manufacturer suggests. These are online backups. So we’re not shutting down the backup and just backing up flat files; your customer could do that if they chose the problem is most customers don’t have the leisure to simply shut down these critical databases and back them up off line. So they will purchase the TDPs and we call then Tivoli data protectors or Spectrum Protect “for” products, Spectrum Protect for databases, Spectrum Protect for mail and these products work in conjunction with the manufacturer’s interface to be able to do online backups of the databases and applications. So we still send the data over to the Tivoli Storage Manager server, we still manage it in our hierarchy of storage and we still are able to restore from that central location. The difference here is that sometimes we do have a full backup with differentials are incrementals associated with them and we do follow the protocol of the database manufacturer. These are scheduled, they do work online and they do allow for things like individual mailbox restores, line item restores it so we can get very granular in our restore process. So that was our data protection and application protection, those are separately licensed, but they were directly with our Tivoli Storage Manager server and storage pools.
  7. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Moving on to slide seven. Virtual machines, as you know virtual machines are everywhere right now, and the nice thing about virtual machines is they are very easy to clone and create new virtual machines. But for an admin, that is very difficult to keep track of has that new virtual machine been protected, which virtual machines are now out there and so the concept of backing up these machines takes on its own complications. We do have a product, it is a separate product that customers purchase, just like the backup, databases and applications and we can backup Hyper-V and VMware virtual machines. So once again we are working with the VMware and Hyper-V folks to actually make sure we are protecting these virtual machines in the prescribed manner. And so when we go to do restores, likewise we are able to use for instance the VCenter server so that if you do have a dedicated VMware admin that admin is able to see that backs and archives from their perspective. Sometimes companies don’t have that, all they have is a backup administrator, but many larger companies will also have a virtual machine, a VMware admin in addition to a backup admin. So we want to be able to work with the backups from both perspectives. The nice thing about the Spectrum Protect for virtual environments is that we do integrate with the VCenter server. You are able to see the plug-ins in the VCenter server and backup those virtual machines or restore them from the perspective of a VCenter admin. Likewise, we are able to go out and with our Spectrum Protect for virtual environments, we are able to go out and discover new machines that have been created that need to be backed up. If machines get moved from one location to another location through VMotion we are able to realize it has been moved and we should be backing it up from this location instead. Yes, you still can go through the old methodology of installing a TSM client on each of the virtual machines and backing them up and that traditional manner, but that’s very time-consuming and in a lot of cases it doesn’t address the flexibility of virtual environments. Most customers prefer to purchase the TSM, the Spectrum Protect form virtual environments where you do not have to install the TSM client on each of the virtual machines. Instead, you are packing it up from the VCenter server perspective and not having to deal with individual TSM clients inside each of the virtual machines. The virtual machine protection is an progressive incremental piece but it’s actually done at the block level and so when we go to do restores we also have different levels of restores we can do. We can restore the entire virtual machine or we can restore just individual files, whatever the customer needs.
  8. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} So let’s go ahead and move on to slide eight. Now that you have seen the type of data we can protect and what we can do with it, let’s talk about the general layout of the Spectrum Protect. I spoke a little bit about this, but let’s go into a little more detail here. The basic components of the Spectrum Protect and are going to be your dedicated server, the TSM server, Spectrum Protect server and that server has two main things. It has a database and logs and this is the DB2 database, we switched over to DB2 back in TSM version 6 so that we have more flexibility and that we could grow larger. Prior to that we have our own in-house database. So by utilizing the DB2 database under the covers we are able to take advantage of all the great DB2 features and functions that are out there. We say that the administrators do not have to be DB2 specialist, we try and make the DB2 server as under the covers as possible. If you do have DB2 experience, obviously you are going to be able to go in and do more SQL commands and queries and high-availability and a lot more things that DB2 server, but you don’t have to be a DB2 expert. The DB2 server is part of the TSM server license, you don’t have to purchase it separately. It does have to be a dedicated DB2 server for that particular TSM server. Once again the DB2 server is going to be tracking things, meta-information, who backed up which files, where is it stored, how long to keep it, whether the schedules, what is the DR plan, all that information is kept in our DB2 database. The actual data that’s being backed up, archived and protected is being stored in our storage hierarchy. This storage hierarchy can be a combination of any type…I won’t say any but very large variety of disk, tape, VTL and what we find is usually customers want to backup their data directly to disk storage pools unless they are very large databases and in that case, sometimes they will stream directly to tape.
  9. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Then inside the disk, what we find is overtime customers will migrate which happens automatically the data from one type of storage out to a less expensive type of storage, whether it’s a slower disk, whether it’s a tape, they can choose at that point. Also as time goes on and disk, tapes and VTL technology changes, they may want to swap out one of the pieces in their storage hierarchy or they might want to add a new one. For Spectrum Protect we can seamlessly do this, we can and in a new type of tape or disk and then take the older information that already residing on the older disk or tape and migrate it to the new storage pools. That becomes really powerful when we talk about integrating the latest disk and the technology to keep the Spectrum Protect server up and functioning and to be giving the customer the highest return on their investment. A lot of our competitors cannot do that. They cannot take data that’s already residing on one type of media and seamlessly move it over to another type of media. Why? Because they don’t have the powerful DB2 database behind the scenes doing the work and tracking where that data is being moved out to. So we are going to talk a little bit more about these storage pools and how they are powerful when it comes to things like de-dupe, no replication and tape reclamation. So we will get into that here in a minute. The other piece in this architecture is you have your machines that you are protecting connecting over the WAN, the LAN, the SAN, so there are different ways they can be coming in depending upon where those clients are associated and what type of network is set up in the environment. One thing I want to mention here on this page is we do have what we call our blueprints, which lay out some excellent suggestions and tested architectural layouts of Tivoli Storage Manager servers and clients. So if you are going into a fresh install, be sure to the these blueprints and I haven’t the location listed in the reference portion of this presentation. Those will help you get the best performance out of your TSM server and make sure that your customer is happy and that they are able to grow and scale as needed. So the blueprints are out and available for everyone to take a look at it, they have a lot of excellent information on how to size recommended hardware and so forth for setting up your Spectrum Protect server.
  10. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Okay, let’s go ahead and move on to slide nine. Policy Management, with Tivoli Storage Manager, all of the data that comes into the server is going to have a policy attached to it. The policy decide things like how many versions to keep, how long to keep archives, which storage pool, is it disk or is it tape, where this data will be preserved, how many offsite copies of the data am I going to make. So all of this is based upon policies. You might have one policy for everybody in an environment or you might have multiple policies out there that are specialized for different departments or different individuals, or different databases that you’re backing up. The nice thing about policies it you can change them, they can be updated, and that gives you the flexibility that as the data retention needs and backup needs change in a customer’s environment, you can update the Tivoli Storage Manager server to reflect that and the policies that go with it.
  11. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains the topics that are covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} So let’s move on to slide 10. One of the big advantages of Spectrum Protect is our flexible storage pools. I talked about how storage pools can be made up of different types of disk and tape and all of those are documented out on the web if you’re interested in a specific tape or NAS device or whatever has been tested, we do documents which pieces are tested and supported with Tivoli Storage Manager and Spectrum Protect. All of this space out in our storage pools are kind of virtualized. The TSM server is going to take advantage of where the data is placed and how it is moved from one storage pool to another. Once again, it’s going to be the policies that dictate where the data is initially backed up to. Is it initially backed up to disk, initially backed up to tape, are we sending it to VTL? Then that the needs of a customer change that storage pool and storage pool hierarchy might also change. When it comes to where we start back up data versus archive data, you can have one generic storage pool or you could have multiple specialized storage pools for different types of data. Obviously what we are looking to match is the importance of that data with the cost of the media that you are storing those backups or archives on. And also looking at restore rate, when we go to do the restore how fast does that data needs to come back and can we wait for that tape mount or does it have to be readily available right off of the disk storage pool. When we get the data into our storage pools we can do quite a bit of things with it. We can make copies of it, so if you wanted to make a copy of it into a tape storage pool and take those tapes off-site to Iron Mountain, that’s completely supported but you can make multiple copies. In fact you can make copies, as you back up to one storage all we can be creating a second copy immediately to another storage pool. We can encrypt the data so that when it’s stored in these storage pools we can encrypted and we also support the tape encryption on a lot of the tape devices. We have built in de-dupe for disk storage pools and I will talk about that in a minute, but it is built-in and supported with Tivoli Storage Manager. We can also do things like import or export that data to other Tivoli Storage Manager Servers and another piece I will talk about here in a minute is we can replicate that data over to another active Tivoli Storage Manager server for disaster recovery purposes; in case your primary TSM server goes down your clients will still be able to do restores from the secondary server where the data was replicated to.
  12. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Let’s move on to slide 11. Another advantage Tivoli Storage Manager will has out there over our competition if this concept of tape reclamation. As you know, when you write to a tape you start at the beginning and you write until you get to the end. But over time data is going to expire at different places on the tape and so you have these dead spots of data that is expired, but because we have already written there we can’t just go and fill it in like you could on the random-access disk. So what happens in a lot of those environments is you will get these tapes that were once full of active data, but now that some of that data has expired off, we’ve got only 25% active data out there. Tivoli Storage Manager has this concept of reclamation where you can say when it came reaches for instance, with only 25% validate on it and the rest is dead expired data, let’s take that data and migrate it off to another tape and then free up that tape with all the dead space on it. So, what does reclamation does is basically combines the still valid data off of all those tapes with expired data on it, thus freeing up those taped to be reused, thus cutting the customer’s cost by cutting the number of tapes that are in their environment. This is also going to speed up your restores because we don’t have to jump over the dead space to get to the valid data, all of your data is being written in, back and filled in on a nice solid line there. Tape reclamation saves time, saves money that reduces the number of tapes that have to be managed in an environment. We do this not only for our primary copies of the tape but if you did create secondary copies will we will tell you bring back the tape X, Y and Z from Iron Mountain and here is your new tape that’s going to replace those because X, Y and Z, have been reclaimed. Once again, most of our competitors cannot do this because they don’t have the intelligent database behind them. And it is a built-in function, all you have to do is set up the limits on the high and low reclamation threshold that you want to run the tapes against.
  13. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Let’s move on to slide 12. So we just spoke about how we use out tapes in an intelligent manner, we talked about our progressive incremental backups will be only back of the new or changed data. Totally Storage Manager from its conception has been very interested in only backing up the least amount of data that is needed in order to protect a customer’s environment. So from the beginning we had things like our progressive incremental backup where we only back up the new or changed files. We’ve also had ideas like client side compression where the files are compressed on the client before they are sent across the network and before they are stored in the TSM server storage pools. We do have the concept of doing sub-file backups where only a portion, the change portion of the file is backed up, we can do that. We do support of appliance deduplication, so if you do have a VPL or NAS of that device out there that utilizes deduplication, we can work with that. What’s really unique about Tivoli Storage Manager is we have a built in TSM server side deduplication and we have a built-in TSM client side deduplication. The client and server side deduplication work together, they are part of our standard product, there is no extra charge for them and what they do is they rely upon having a disk storage pool in the TSM server dedicated as a de-dupe storage pool. Now what will happen is all of the data that’s being sent to this de-dupe storage pool we will de-dupe across that entire pool of data, so it doesn’t matter if some of the files came from accounting and some of the files came from marketing and some of the files or e-mail file, it doesn’t matter, we will de-dupe across every file that comes into that pool. You can have it so it’s only a server side de-dupe and in this case the client will back up, it will send the entire file to the TSM server. After the file has been backed up we will do a post process <injust> and de-dupe those files in the disk storage pool. Or you can have client side de-dupe and in this case what happens is prior to the client sending the file across the TSM server, the client will check its copy of the de-dupe list, figure out which blocks and bytes are not needed and then only send the new blocks and bytes across the network. So in this case the client does the de-dupe prior to sending it over to the TSM server. It still goes into that same big de-dupe pool, the disk de-dupe pool. The advantage here is you are sending less data across the network, the side effect is the client has to do more processing to do the de-dupe. You can use both, maybe some clients who want to de-dupe do the client side de-dupe and others you want to have the server do the de-dupe. So we support the entire combination. Watch this space. With the upcoming release we’ve got some excellent newer technology going into the de-dupe where we start taking advantage of a lot of the cloud space and a lot of different types of processing for the de-dupes. So even though we are very effective right now, what’s coming in the future is going to be even more powerful when it comes to how we do de-dupes. So to sum up this slide again, Tivoli Storage Manager has lots of ways to data reduction techniques starting with our progressive incremental where we only back up new or changed files, things like client side compression and we also have the ability to do server-side and client-side duplication. De-dupe was also introduced in version 6, TSM version 6, so if for any reason your customers are back level, back on version 5, they wouldn’t have access to that and we definitely want to get them up to version 6 and more impressively you’d want to get them up to our current TSM version 7.
  14. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Let’s move on to slide 13 - Node Replication. When you think about this backup scenario, we are backing up our files to a Tivoli Storage Manager server. If you have lost a file or lost a whole computer we could get it back simply by restoring those files from the TSM Spectrum Protect server that we backed up to. But what happens if for some reason that Spectrum Protect server is not available? What if there is a disaster or what if there is a disk failure and a server goes down and you’ve got a client who needs to do a restore? Well, Tivoli Storage Manager has lots of different methodologies to do disaster recovery, but the one that we started using since version 6 is our node replication. What node replication does is you select either some clients whose data you want to send it to another TSM server or some file systems, or maybe all the machines depending on the bandwidth that you have. Then on the nightly basis we will send the new files, files that have just been sent to the TSM server, we will send a copy of them over to our target Tivoli Storage Manager server. This target TSM server might just be another TSM server that’s running in your customer’s environment, or it might be a dedicated disaster recovery machine. Either way on this incremental basis we take those files and we send a copy over to our target TSM server. Now if there is a failure on our primary TSM server and clients need to restore their files, they are going to be automatically redirected to the target server to do their restores. Then once the primary TSM server comes up again they will be able to restore from there. Notice I say restore. If your primary server goes down, all your clients will be able to do by default is restore from the target machine. You have to go through some…if for some reason your primary TSM server is going to be out of the picture for a long time and you need to make your target server become the primary then you have to go through some conversion steps which are documented so that the clients can also back up there. But by default that is there to do the restores from. So the great part about this whole process is you don’t have to rebuild your primary TSM server in order to start doing the restores. We just point you at the target server and we can restore from there. There is some really nice features built into node replication, one being this automatic failover for the client so if they can’t reach the primary they automatically go to the target to do the restores. Also, if something in your source server storage pool for some reason a tale is lost or disk is damaged, we can automatically rebuild that table or disk from the copies that are over on the target TSM server. Also watch this space for what’s coming up in our next release, we’ve got some really nice new features coming out in the node replication area. I really stress that de-dupe and node replication are two areas that our developers are investing heavily in. We’re putting a lot of new technology and a lot of new functionality into those two pieces. Node replication is part of our base product, and in fact your customer also does not get charged for the copies that are being stored on the target server, we only charge for the first primary copies that are being stored on your source server. If you have been around Tivoli Storage Manager or ADSM for awhile you ever heard about our copy storage pool. Copy storage pools as I explained previously are just copies of the initial backups, a lot of people take those off to Iron Mountain or put them at a DR site. The nice thing about node replication is that it’s basically a copy storage pool just stored at a secondary Tivoli Storage Manager server. The primary server and target server, they coordinate to make sure that files are being expired off the target server when they are no longer needed to make sure that they are in sync and once again to restore files back to the primary if something happens to the primary server’s piece.
  15. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Another nice thing about node replication is that you can keep a different number of versions of the files on the primary as you have on the target. This is called dissimilar policies. So for instance if your TSM source server is at a little branch office someplace that doesn’t have a lot of IT capacity and they are sending their copies over to the central IT center, maybe they are going to actually keep more copies of their files at the central server then they keep on the primary site, or maybe vice versa, may be your primary server is inside the IT center but your target server is just at a little DR site that doesn’t have a lot of capacity and so you only want to keep the active versions, those most recent versions. So there is flexibility on how you set up node replication. One of the biggest considerations as you lay this node replication out is to make sure that you are allowing enough time for the amount of data you have chosen to replicate. Node replication came out in version 6, but version 7 of TSM had a lot of enhancements to how we process node replication and therefore the whole process was expedited. So if you are looking to implement node replications, my suggestions are start out small with just the really critical data to make sure you’re getting things done, that your bandwidth between the two servers is wide enough to accommodate it and you have enough CPU and processing in your daily work schedule to accommodate this node replication and then grow it from there. Secondly, make sure you have at least version 7.1 when you implement this. So that was node replication and node replication allows for clients to be able to restore their files from a different TSM server if their primary server goes down.
  16. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} What we talked about so far has all just been files or maybe databases in some cases. But what about the operating system that’s sitting out on those production machines that you are trying to protect? What about all of the customization that goes into those operating systems? As you know if you lose your entire production machine, your database machine, your file server, whatever, there is a lot of time and effort and expertise going into trying to restore the operating system, the networking and everything else. So Tivoli Storage Manager also has their machine recovery capability where we can protect not only the data but also the operating system and the customization that goes into that machine. It is separate products that integrate with the Tivoli Storage Manager server. Let me back that up… We have some basic capability built in utilizing the ASR technology that Windows provides. So if you do have a Windows XP, 2003, Windows 7 or 2008 TSM client that we are protecting, we have basic ASR capability built-in. It works fine but it’s basic, so you’re not charged anything extra for that. If you want additional bells and whistles, the ability to restore to different types of hardware, the ability to restore from a virtual to physical machine or physical to virtual machine, then you would look at the product we resell called Christie Bare Machine Recovery and TBMR, those are built by Christie. Those integrate directly with Tivoli Storage Manager server so you’re getting your data not only data protected on the TSM server but you’re also operating system information is being sent there. So if one of your TSM clients does take a complete hit and you have to rebuild from scratch, you basically have the CD that you stick in and it starts the recovery process and it’s very easy and very fast and very flexible. So if you have a customer who interested in Bare Machine recovery. We do have solutions for you, Cristie TBMR is fabulous, it really works well and it’s very simple to use. So do take a look at that. We also have system backup and recovery that is specialized for the AIX environments. So slide 14 was all about Bare Machine Recovery and how we do have that ability and it does integrate directly with the Tivoli Storage Manager server and the Tivoli Storage Manager backups.
  17. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Slide 15. We also have built-in what we call the disaster recovery plan and these are files, this is part of our base product, these are files that automatically generate a disaster recovery plan for restoring your Tivoli Storage Manager server. So if your server crashes and you need to rebuild it, you’re going to have to rebuild the TSM DB2 database, you are going to have to make sure your storage pools are all there. So we are able to track for instance off-site volumes, we are able to track your TSM server backups of your TSM DB2 database and we are able to basically create a step-by-step list and script to get everything up and running again. You do have to turn on disaster recovery but it is part of the base product at no extra charge. So this is aimed at protecting your Tivoli Storage Manager servers, database and storage pools. Bare Machine Recovery that we just talked about on the previous slide, that was protecting the operating system and all the files on your customers production machines and then prior to that node replication, that was creating off-site copies of files so that your clients can restore if your TSM server took a hit.
  18. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Let’s move on to slide 16. There are different ways to access and administer Tivoli Storage Manager or Spectrum Protect. We have command lines, we have GUIs and we have the new Operation Center. If you haven’t tried the Operation Center, do take a look at it, it really is a great way to get a general overview of what’s happening in your environment. What is the status of my TSM servers? What is the status of my client? How much database space do I have? Are there problems that occurred last night that I need to take a look at, different alerts? In addition to just this great visual information, you can drill down into the operations center and do things like defined schedule, kick off reclamations, add new clients, and so the Operation Center is part of our base product, it’s very lightweight and it can control one or more Spectrum Protect servers, TSM servers from one location. You can install it directly on one of your TSM servers or if you want you can put it on a separate machine, but it’s so lightweight, we see most of our customers putting it out on their production Spectrum Protect server. The nice thing about this and this is a great way as new administrators come on line at customer sites to really understand what’s happening in the Spectrum Protect environments, it’s very visual, very easy to understand. We still have our command lines, we still have our restore GUIs out there, but this is just really addressing the need to have an easy to access visual of what’s happening in both the servers and clients that we are working with.
  19. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Slide 17. One of the other really great things about Spectrum Protect is that all of the commands we have, whether they are server command or client commands, there is a command line for that. So if you do want to write scripts, if you do have a Unix admin who love those command lines, they can do all of that with the command line. Also, since we’ve got the DB2 database underneath this you can use the SQL commands against the DB2 database and extract additional information that you may be looking for, for reports or anything else. All of the errors that we generate, errors, warnings or information, they do have a dedicated error message associated with them that we store in our activity log. So this makes problem solving a lot simpler. If you’ve ever worked with some of our competition’s products, you do not have dedicated server messages and error messages and so it becomes very difficult to figure out what happened when and what does that error mean and do research on those errors. The Tivoli Storage Manager does have an activity log that tracks of everything that’s happening with these specific messages.
  20. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a screenshot that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Moving on to slide 18. All of the commands that we have for Tivoli Storage Manager are like I said, you can kick them off automatically from the Operation Center, you can kick them off look with Command Line, but most of customers are going to schedule them. They will schedule both the client backups as well as administrative commands that have to occur like when de-dupe kicks off, when we create these copy storage pools, when we kick off a node replication. Those blueprints that I was talking about have great suggestions and even some scripts in there that they recommend you use so that you are doing the administrative features in the correct order. So after your backup is complete then we are going to run this process followed by this process so that the customer’s daily maintenance is happening in a specific way and in the most timely manner.
  21. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Slide 19. We have another product inside the Spectrum Protect family called Flash Copy Manager. Some of you might be familiar with Flash Copy Manager because it’s also sold outside of Tivoli Storage Manager, outside of Spectrum Protect. What Flash Copy Manager does is it takes advantage of the intelligent snapshot that hardware can create. So if you have for instance an Oracle database out there running on XIV, we are able to rapidly take a snapshot of that Oracle database and copy it over to a secondary location so that you get basically instantaneous backup of these databases that are running on the intelligent storage. Flash Copy Manager, not only can we do the databases but we can also do file systems and we can also do virtual environments. We can take rapid backups of those environments by utilizing the Flash Copy Manager capability and then with those local snapshots that we have taken we can either leave them there and just do restores from there or we can take the next step and back those copies of snapshots up to Tivoli Storage Manager. So Flash Copy Manager takes the backups that we previously spoke about, the file system backups, the database backups and the VMware backups and it takes it to a new level by making the backup almost instantaneous because we are using the Flash Copy capabilities built into the hardware. Then we take a copy of that and do the backgrounds from there into our Tivoli Storage Manager server and so when it comes to restore time, if your snapshot still exists we but we can restore directly from the snapshot, but if that snapshot has versioned off than we can restore from the copy that code in Tivoli Storage Manager. So we get a lot of customers who have critical databases or very large VMware instances that needs to be protected in a much more rapid manner utilizing Flash Copy Manager in conjunction with Spectrum Protect.
  22. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Moving on to slide 20. Another product we have in our family is the FastBack for Workstations. FastBack for Workstations is aimed at protecting laptops and desktops. So, for instance, on my little ThinkPad laptop here I’ve got FastBack for Workstations running and every time I create a file or save a file a copy of that is spun off to a local cache, a local disk space on my ThinkPad. So even if I’m sitting in an airplane with no network connections, I am getting backups of my files that I create to my local disk which is great, if I accidentally overwrite a PowerPoint slide or do something stupid and delete it off, I can pull it back from my local cache. When I connect out to a network, a copy of those files that are in my local cache are sent out either to a file server or to the to the Tivoli Storage Manager server, or to some type of web target with some type of cloud backup out there. So the great thing about this is you get a lot of universities or companies with lots of laptops out their utilizing this technology to make sure that their laptops and desktops are being protected and synced up with the Tivoli Storage Manager server. So FastBack for Workstations is extremely simple to use and I can’t tell you the number of times it saved my butt by having a copy of things that I accidentally over wrote or deleted from data that I’m working on immediately. So I really suggest that as you go in to a Spectrum Protect sale you also address the fact that how much of your data is out there on laptops and how many of those laptops are being protected? Yes you could install a Tivoli Storage Manager client on most laptops but let’s think about it. Most of the times when that TSM schedule is going to kick off, that end-user has probably shut down that laptop and it’s locked in their briefcase and it’s probably not even on. So it makes sense to install a product like FastBack for Workstations because it will look for that connection to the TSM server immediately when we connect to the network, it’s not going to wait for a schedule.
  23. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Slide 21. Another product on our family has to do with space management, but in this case it’s not space management we talked about in our storage pools. This space management or HSM, hierarchical storage management has to do with taking files of large production machines. Let’s think about a hospital. Think about all the files that are sitting at the hospital’s production machines, all of the X-rays, all the test results and everything else. A lot of those are never used again but they’ve got to keep them out there. So what HSM does this it goes out and identifies these files and it replaces these large files with little stub files that are extremely small and then it sends the whole file, the real file off to cheaper storage on the TSM server side. So an end-user, if on the administrator for the hospital and I go looking out there at all the x-rays, it looks like all the files are still there because stub files show up and have the correct names and correct information on them. But I actually go to access one of those files that have been migrated over to TSM server what happened is a recall occurs and a little daemon says he TSM server send me back Trish is the x-ray. So the TSM server sends it back to its original location and then the person, the doctor can see my x-ray. The benefit is they don’t have all that data sitting out on their expensive production machines, they sent it over to the TSM server and we sent it out to tape or lower cost storage. So we have two products, we have Spectrum Protect HSM for Windows and we have Spectrum Protect for space management which works on the UNIX/Linux environments. Once again, when we send the data to the Spectrum Protect server, the TSM server, it is being stored in the same storage pools and managed by the same DB2 server as our backups and archives. So you taking advantage of the hierarchy you built and the environment you built on the TSM server to do more things, in this case space management.
  24. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains the topics that are covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Slide 22. Another piece we have is our System Storage Archive Manager. This is really focused on customers who have to keep data around in a regulatory environment to prove they have been tampered with it or touched it. When it does is it dedicates a TSM server, in this case the server is only going to be for managing archives and it’s going to put a lot of locks and holds on that data so that somebody can go and tamper with the retention policies or change the data out. So everything in this System Storage Archive Manager machine would be archive data and you would have to have special permission to be able to go in there and do different functions and there is no way to lower the retention period; if originally you archive those tax files off for seven years, I can’t go in and say let’s just tamper with this and lower it to five years, it won’t allow you to do that. Whereas with TSN, if you just archived it off you could change that retention policy. So system archive management is for customers who need regulatory retention and maybe to meet all those various HIPPA standards, numerous standards that are out there.

This is just kind of a summary of the different products I talked about that are part of the Spectrum Protect family. The great thing here is once again we are utilizing the initial TSM server and storage pools to be able to protect all the different types of data, whether its application data for databases and mail, whether it’s space management data, archive data, laptops, whatever, we are able to send it to that one location for protection.
  26. {DESCRIPTION} This slide contains a graphic that is covered by the narration written in the transcription of this slide. {TRANSCRIPT} Slide 24. This kind of sums it up once again. Tivoli Storage Manager is really powerful in the fact that it can be managing lots of different types of data. When we look at a lot of the other point products that are out there as competitors, they don’t have the breadth to be able to do so much with the infrastructure they built for their backups. With Spectrum Protect, Tivoli Storage Manager we are able to utilize our server environment to manage and protect lots of different types of data.

Listen up, if you walk away with nothing else from this call noticed this slide. We have so much great data out there on Spectrum Protect that I tried to point you to the critical locations and I’m going to walk through these critical locations. The first one is our competitive portal and the person who is our competitive contact person. Why is this important? I tried to highlight Spectrum Protect’s advantages but as you go out and talk with customers, inevitably they are going to have a very specific question about a very specific function and how it compares to another specific product and that’s what our competitive portal is great for. It’s going to give you the kill sheets for the different competition that’s out there and it’s going to give you insight into these different products, specific functions that customers might be talking about. So if you’re looking for competitive information, that is the place to go. Sales portal - If you’re looking for information on licensing, if you’re looking for information on different types of presentation or whatever, the sales portal is out there that has tons of information that will help you with your sale. Previous webcasts - Every slide I spoke on here, we could’ve done hour-long presentation just on that slide. So we have a whole slew of webcasts we’ve done on things like the competition, on node replication, and on TSM for VE, virtual environments and so if you want to get a specific topic and drill down into it, these webcasts have tons of great information from lots of different speakers. So you can go on and peruse through what’s out there and see and download the presentation as well as the recorded call. YouTube videos. If you’re looking for a quick overview, a TSM one-on-one, or node replication one-on-one, one-on-one on TSM for virtual environments, if you want to see us actually setting up node replication and you want some demos, all of those are out there. We’ve got an entire series of videos that are usually anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes long, they are pretty short, but are good information on overviews, demos, how to set up things, how to troubleshoot, you name it, we got it there. Hands-on labs - If you would actually like to go through and do something like work with the Operation Center or set of Tivoli Storage Manager for virtual environments, or work with Flash Copy Manager, we have a whole bunch of hands-on labs that you can access from the comfort of your home. What you need to do is contact Eric Lange, he is on my team and he runs the Demo Central environment that we have set up. You can go out there and take the hands-on labs, they usually run an hour to two hours depending on the topic. We’ve got lab guides that go along with them and these are all set up a virtual machines, so once you are done we just reset them or if you mess up so bad you can reset it and start again. We also had IBMers and business partners work with Eric and say you know what, I want to go to a customer and I want to run a class today on Operation Center, can you set up a little environment where I can connect and teach a this little class on a specific topic for the customers? So a lot of great hands-on capability out there. Blueprints, this is the architectural layout which gives a lot of insight into the best ways to lay out your TSM servers, different scripts, different timing, different sizing. This is the place if you want to look at our blueprints. We also have a storage software alert e-mail that goes out whenever we have either new webcasts coming out or maybe new information on licensing, something that we think is critical for our sellers or SCE. So if you would like to be part and receiving these alerts and I think you only get one or two a month, we are very selective in what we send out, you can send a note to the person and they will add you to that e-mail list and that will keep you informed of what’s happening.
  28. {DESCRIPTION} The presentation with additional materials can be found in the Resources tab. {TRANSCRIPT} Unidentified Male Speaker: Alright Tricia, thank you very match. That was super helpful. As I said we would get this pulled into a Smart Zone kind of recording to match the charts and I will get everybody the sets of the chart out. With that I think we will close it out and Tricia thanks very much for presenting, that was outstanding. Tricia: Great, thank you everyone!
