This document provides a 3-sentence summary of the replication document: The document discusses business continuity through replication for disaster recovery and high availability. It explains that downtime can negatively impact businesses through loss of brand equity, goodwill, loyalty, revenue, and productivity. The document then outlines different replication strategies and technologies that can be used to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity through rapid recovery after an outage.

- 11. Data Strategy Defined The role of the basic “Data Strategy” for HA/BC purposes Define major data types “good enough” – i.e. by major application, by business line…. – An ongoing journey Business Strategies You have to For each data type: know your data IT Strategy – Usage – Performance and measurement – Security Data Strategy Data Strategy – Availability – Criticality – Organizational role Enterprise IT Architecture – Who manages – What standards for this data And have a • What type storage deployed on basic strategy • What database • What virtualization for it Be pragmatic IT Infrastructure – Create a basic, “good enough” data strategy for HA/BC purposes People Data Acquire tools that help you know your data Process Technology Structure 11 © 2013 IBM Corporation
- 12. A basic data strategy tells you how to categorize your data - looks something like this (step by step): Mission Critical Mission – critical data – Mission-critical data that is the highest priority dtaa – Priority = uptime, with high value justification Subset of data that is either mission-critical or supports mission critical – Data that supports business lines – Balanced priorities = Uptime and cost/value Knowledge of user and application data – All data, whether active or not…. – Which eventually needs to be archived, retained – Priority = cost Lower Virtualized Not easy to know and categorize your data - cost Storage But is the only foundation possible 12 © 2013 IBM Corporation
- 13. Then, your basic data strategy allows you to scope your HA/BC – something like this: Mission Critical Continuous Availability (CA) – Finally, create the mission-critical subset with highest level of recovery – RTO = near continuous, RPO = small as possible (Tier 7) – Priority = uptime, with high value justification Rapid Data Recovery (RDR) – Then create separate storage pools as required – RTO = minutes, to (approx. range): 2 to 6 hours – BC Tiers 4, 5 and 6 – Balanced priorities = Uptime and cost/value Backup/Restore (B/R) – Virtualize, optimize cost, lay recovery capability foundation – Provide universal 24 hour - 12 hour (approx) recovery capability – Address requirements for archival, compliance, green energy – Priority = cost Lower Virtualized Not easy to and categorize your data - data - Know know and categorize your cost Storage This is where only foundation possible But is the virtualization is the enabler 13 © 2013 IBM Corporation

Rule of Thumb for continuous replication bandwidth Rule of Thumb: – Every 1 TB of mirrored disk storage generates about this much MB/sec of writes: OLTP – 1-2 MB/sec of write bandwidth Sequential/batch – 6-7 MB/sec of write bandwidth Expect minimum 2.5x this to handle peaks Expect normal data compression to be about 2:1 Example - you have 10 TB of disk to mirror: – OLTP: 10-20 MB/sec ROT: – Batch/sequential: 60-70 MB/sec one OC3 line = 15 MB/sec raw Effective transfer rate 14 © 2013 IBM Corporation

Short distance synchronous mirroring: 2 site Short distance may not meet DR requirements Ability to utilize server capacity in both sites for single instance of application data Potential/ability for non-disruptive failover S P Additional copy of data might F be provided for testing or testing may be done by Hardware solution gives data regular switch of sites consistency between multiple servers/applications and single management point 15 © 2013 IBM Corporation
- 16. Long Distance Mirroring: 2 site Longer distance to meet regulatory requirements and protect against regional events Ability to utilize server capacity in both sites for applications with Disruptive failover and less separate/independent potential to use DR data solution for continuous availability 1 0 P 0 0 0 S F 1 0 F S P Additional copy of Asynchronous replication data more likely to be more likely due to provided for testing performance requirements 16 © 2013 IBM Corporation
