Solution to Data Protection

The user data are increased in multiple and constantly accumulated each year, and the data management cost is increased constantly, and the governmental regulations require the safe storage of data, therefore, the data protection is an important point that the information management personnel cannot ignore. Users must prepare the recovery and filing measures of the data backup and assist in improving the security of key data and the timeliness of the backup recovery, to ensure the safety of the operational information.

Technology type

The safe storage of data mainly includes the data backup and data filing. The filing aims to realize the systematic, scientific and long-term storage of the historical data and information for the decision-making of the Company and the regulation of the superior or the third-party institutions. While the purpose of backup is the immediate use of data to ensure the continuity of business or to recover the business within the shortest time when it is interrupted. The biggest difference between the two items lies in: A backup is a copy of data with a certain retention period; While the filing is to remove the original data from the initial station and send them to other stations for long-term retention.

During the early application period of IT, magnetic tape is the main backup technology. Nowadays, the hard disks are becoming cheaper, and the disk arrays and virtual tape library technology is becoming mature, and even the dedicated data deduplication storage occurs. Therefore, the magnetic tape are replaced gradually. Due to the restriction of the policies and regulations and the requirements of the storage in different places, the magnetic tape cannot be replaced completely.

The main data backup methods:

l  NAS backup: It targets at the Internet environment, shares the bandwidth with the business data and has an impact on the business;

l  LAN Free backup: It targets at SAN architecture, can increase the backup speed, and reduce the impact of backup on the main business of the user;

lSAN Server-Free backup: It targets at SAN architecture, can increase the backup speed, and the impact on the main business of the user is nearly zero.

While the combination between the filing technology and information life cycle management is becoming more and more close, and become an indispensable part of the data management.

Application scenarios

The backup and filing solutions provided can assist clients in building the single platform, make users flexibly expand the backup system, assist users in greatly reducing the repeated investment costs, and provide the cross-platform centralized data management to ensure that IT of users can play the maximum investment benefits. As shown in the figure below:

Scheme advantages:

lThe automatic data backup and smart system disaster recovery function;

lLAN Free backup and SAN Server- Free quick backup can reduce the impact of the backup and filing tasks on the key business of the user;

l Support the Disk-based backup: Shorten the backup window and speed up the data recovery; Support the storage of magnetic tapes in different places, copy and management functions;

lThe high-efficient network copy that utilizes the data deduplication storage can realize the true disaster recovery and support the one-to-many and many-to-one flexible copy;

lEnsure the enterprise IT can maximize the investment efficiency and provide cross-platform centralized data management;

l Provide an environment that is resilient and malleable to meet the changing requirements in the future.


A manufacturing user utilizes Avamar to realize the 2M bandwidth remote branch backup

Client background

A manufacturing user is in the shanty town renovation data center of the same city, and one is data backup center, and there is no 2M bandwidth connection between the two places. Users hope to store the data in the hard disk to improve the reliability of the backup system, and the link bandwidth between the two machine rooms will not be increased within a short period. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a backup technology based on source data dragon data elimination to solve the contradiction between the narrow bandwidth and large data volume cross-site backup.

Scheme design

The backup machine room is equipped with the data backup system with Avamar as a core, and the server of the production room is installed with Agem of Avamar for the data deduplication of the backup data, which will reduce the data amount to be backed up before the backup, and take it to the data backup under the 2M bandwidth.

User benefits

The data deduplication technology that utilizes Avarmr can effectively reduce the requirements to the bandwidth. The backup and recovery are convenient,  easy to manage, TCO is reduced.

200% of primary data of the weekly cross-network movement is reduced.

The risks of loss or theft of magnetic tapes during the previous shipments are eliminated.


A hospital utilizes Datadomain as a virtual tape library for data backup

Client background

A hospital has set up a unique backup system + backup system of the magnetic tape library, which are used to the data backup of PACS and HIS and other main application systems, respectively. Due to frequent failures of magnetic tapes and magnetic tape unit and equipment, and the backup window is long, sometimes, it will affect the normal operation of business. In addition, the recovery process is complex, and the management and maintenance costs are high.

Scheme design

The data center is equipped with a set of DataDomain, to utilize EMC DataDomain to replace the original several small tape libraries, establish the unified data backup system and simplify the management and maintenance workload of the backup system. The virtual tape library is utilized to improve the reliability of the backup system.

User benefits

l  The data deduplication technology that utilizes the Datadomain can extend the retention period of the backup to more than 1 year from 1 month;

l  Lay a foundation for the copy of the backup data of the machine room in different places in the future;

l  The virtual tape library can reduce the probability of failure of magnetic tape backup and recovery in the previous stage;

    l  Easily realize the centralized backup and management.
