Inmage's CDP and IP-Based Architecture Provide a Winning InMage Provides Solid Defense for Tampa Bay Lightning’s Mission-Critical Data & Applications Steve Warren Senior Systems & Project Engineer InMage Consultant, Tampa Bay Lightning Agenda – Who are the Tampa Bay Lightning? – Challenges: Eliminate Backup Windows to Improve RTO and RPO – Solution: InMage’s CDP and IP-Based Architecture Provide a Winning Backup and DR Strategy – End Result: The Lightning Scores a Winning Goal with InMage Scout – Questions Tampa Bay Lightning Overview – Located in Tampa, Florida – Professional ice hockey and members of the Southeast Division of the National Hockey League (NHL) winning a Stanley Cup championship in 2004 – 150 full-time employees are housed in the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, also the site home games Don’t forgot to tune in and watch the 2011 home opener next Monday! Overview of The Lightning’s Environment – Primary data center in Tampa: • Backing up to tape locally – Remote data center in Atlanta • Maintained for failover and disaster recovery – IT environment is fully virtualized • VMware ESX and Windows Server 2008 platforms • SAN from Pillar Data Systems for enterprise storage – Mission-critical application - Microsoft Exchange 2010 • Used for selling season tickets, conducting fan outreach, and daily email communications • Other tier one applications include: Blackberry enterprise server and distributed file servers, along with Great Plains accounting, financial and operations management software Challenges: Eliminate Backup Windows to Improve RTO and RPO 1. Backing up to Tape took hours to complete and unable to capture latest data changes 2. Encountered backup windows, long recovery times and spotty reliability, sometimes requiring rebuild of entire servers 3. No CDP in place to replicate data offsite in real time • Major data loss and productivity would be encountered in the case of a Natural Disaster 4. Main Objective: find the right product to meet RPO/RTO goals and work efficiently, effectively and reliably in a virtualized environment Solution: InMage’s CDP and IP-Based Architecture Provide a Winning Backup and DR Strategy • After evaluating different backup and recovery products The Lightning decided to purchase InMage Scout – Disk-based data protection to provide application-aware recovery meet both remote and local requirements – CDP technology captures data changes from production servers in real time while performing local backup and remote replication simultaneously with a single data stream – Provides immediate granular recovery of local data and push-button application consistent failover to remote sites Solution Architecture Additional Differentiating Factors – Host-Offload Architecture – No additional disk I/O load on production servers due to backup and/or replication. – Out-of-band to Production Storage – Replication servers not deployed in pairs like many appliance products – Replication is IP-based End Result: The Lightning Scores a Winning Goal with InMage Scout InMage deployment provided The Lightning with: 1. Local backup 2. Remote disaster recovery 3. Protect and replicate critical data and applications, including Exchange and Blackberry Server, to the offsite data center in Atlanta 4. Eliminated backup windows 5. Sparse retention and compression for storage efficiencies 6. Very fast message-level recovery of email 7. Simple, functional and easy to use workflow-oriented GUI for auto-discovery, configuring, monitoring and deployment 8. Automates the recovery steps for VMware and Microsoft servers “The InMage deployment eliminated our backup windows, and now every single one of our changes is getting backed up. Features such as sparse retention and message- level recovery of email databases are really useful. Our RPOs are less than a minute, and we are getting every single data change. I’m also spending significantly less time managing backup and recovery of files, so it has certainly increased my productivity. InMage has lifted a huge weight from our IT department, both in terms of daily backup operations and extending to possible disaster scenarios. We now have peace of mind knowing our data, applications and information assets are constantly protected.” — Ian Steele, Director of IT, Tampa Bay Lightning Thank you for your time.

    TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, CUSTOMERS, PARTNERS AND EMPLOYEES: It is a humbling experience to write this letter to you as only the third CEO in Microsoft’s history. As I said when I took this role, I originally joined Microsoft to have an opportunity to change the world through technology and empower people to do amazing things. Many companies aspire to change the world, but very few have the talent, resources and perseverance of Microsoft. I believe this is a landmark moment for the company and for our industry as a whole. Cloud and mobile technologies are redefining how people work and play. Three billion people will soon be connected to Internet-enabled devices; 212 billion sensors will come online in a few short years; trillions will be spent in consumer and business technologies. But it’s not about technology for technology’s sake! It’s our mission to enable the use of technology to realize the true potential of people, teams and organizations. As I shared in my email to employees in July, we will be the productivity and platform company for this mobile-first and cloud-first world. We will empower every person and every organization on the planet to do more and achieve more. And we will accomplish this by building incredible Digital Work and Life Experiences, supported by our Cloud Operating System, the Device Operating System and Hardware platforms. In the same way that we aspired to and achieved our original vision of a PC on every desk and in every home, we will reinvent productivity. This clarity of purpose and boldness of our aspiration inspires me and all of us at Microsoft.

  • Azure Site Recovery: Automated VM Provisioning and Failover
    White Paper Azure Site Recovery: Automated VM Provisioning and Failover Sponsored by: Microsoft Peter Rutten Al Gillen March 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Data is the currency of modern business, and vigorously protecting this data is imperative, regardless of industry or company size — from small and medium-sized business (SMB) to enterprise to hosted service provider (HSP). The penalty for prolonged downtime or data loss can be severe. In the 3rd Platform era, in which mobile, big data, cloud, and social networking are transforming IT, data of systems of record is being joined by a tsunami of data from systems of engagement, and together they form the basis for data of insight from which competitive advantage is obtained. In this evolving environment, data protection means ensuring that the infrastructure — whether onsite or in the cloud — that captures and processes data cannot go down (high availability, or HA); ensuring that if there is an infrastructure problem, no data is lost (disaster recovery, or DR); and guaranteeing that if data is lost, the most recent copies possible of that data exist somewhere, can be retrieved, and can be brought online instantly to maintain uninterrupted business continuity (backup and recovery). The majority of mission-critical workloads are running on x86 systems today, and classic availability software that has been used in the past primarily on RISC-based Unix servers can be costly to acquire and complex to implement on x86 servers. Further, implementation of classic HA software often required built-in application awareness. These complexities caused enough financial and resource burden that medium-sized firms, and even some branch offices or remote sites of larger organizations, elected to avoid the expense and live dangerously — without an availability solution.

Ondrej Pavelec is the starting goalie for the Winnipeg Jets. 2. In five seasons in the NHL, Pavelec has recorded average statistics and been a positive, although not a standout, addition to the franchise and fan community. 3. Based on the salaries of appropriate comparison players, Pavelec should receive a one-year contract for about $3.25-million. THE PLAYER AND THE TEAM PLAYER AGE AND EXPERIENCE 4. Pavelec is 25 years old,1 was drafted in 2005 (during the second round as the 41st pick overall) by the (as they then were) Atlanta Thrashers.2 He has played five seasons with the Thrashers/Jets.3 5. At present, Pavelec is the Jets’s starting goaltender.4 PLAYER PERFORMANCE 6. Over five seasons, Pavelec’s performance has been average. He did not have a winning season until 2011-12 (29 wins to 28 losses), although his save percentage has been about .900 since 2009-10. Unfortunately, his goals-against average has been problematic: hovering 1 http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8471715&view=stats 2 http://www.nhl.com/ice/draftsearch.htm?team=ATL&year=2005 3 http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8471715 4 http://jets.nhl.com/club/depthchart.htm?dcid=349 1 around 3.00.
