The tidal wave of data continues …
 The amount of digital information continues to grow exponentially
 And we need to keep more of it, longer
 And the costs of losing data are increasingly unacceptable
–Lost revenues
–Lost customer confidence
–Embarrassment in the market
–Fines from contracts, government agencies
–CEO and CFO could go to jail
 But budgets are not increasing

ProtecTIER Deduplication Operation and Results Example
Backup application writes data to
ProtecTIER as it would to tape
Only unique data is stored, existing
duplicate data is referenced
When data objects expire, references
are removed and free space is reclaimed
and reused

ProtecTIER Differentiation

ProtecTIER Advantage: Data Integrity
 Unique and patented HyperFactor® deduplication
technology
 The only production proven deduplication solution not
based on a hash algorithm
 Designed for 100% data integrity
 Bit for bit comparison of data to ensure data is a duplicate
 Can NEVER lose data due to a hash collision
Although the chance of losing data from a hash collision is
low, it is NOT ZERO as it is with a ProtecTIER solution
20
Protect More. Store Less.®
© 2011 IBM Corporation
ProtecTIER Advantage: Restore Performance
 Restoring data from a ProtecTIER solution is even FASTER
than backing up
 ProtecTIER can easily restore at 2800MB/sec!
 High restore performance not limited to certain backup
applications or specific data sets like other vendors
 High restore performance achieved on real data with realistic
20% change rate in production environments
 Never requires agents on backup servers
Other vendor’s “CPU-centric” architectures are optimized for
processing hashes not moving data
21
Protect More. Store Less.®
© 2011 IBM Corporation
ProtecTIER Advantage: Scalability
 A single ProtecTIER system can support up to 1 Petabyte of
useable capacity
 ProtecTIER supports the use of any IBM storage system
(DS8000, DS5000, XIV, etc.) and most third party storage
systems for the repository
 IBM has hundreds of ProtecTIER systems with over 100TBs of
useable capacity in production environments throughout the
world
 IBM always states “Useable Capacity” and never uses the
deceptive “RAW capacity” terms like other vendors
The hidden costs associated with managing, maintaining, powering
and cooling multiple appliances is significant and should not be ignored!
22

© 2011 IBM Corporation
ProtecTIER Advantage: Global Deduplication
 ProtecTIER Cluster with true Global Deduplication has been
Generally Available and in production since 2008
 Supported with all major backup applications and available for
all Open Systems, System z and System I platforms
 No agents or backup server upgrades required
 Other vendor’s Global Deduplication capabilities are immature
and incomplete with very few if any systems in production
 Other vendor’s Global Dedupe restricted to certain models,
only with NetBackup OST and require agents to be installed
Many vendors claim to have Global Deduplication but create multiple separate
repositories that may contain redundant data!
