Tape Offers Leadership Data Integrity
Tape is the most reliable storage technology…

 UBER = 1 x10-19
 Record 1,250 PB of data without ever seeing an uncorrectable bit error!
Reliability at an order of magnitude better than disk!

Easier Than Ever to Use and Manage
LTFS is a big step forward in making

tape easier to use. LTFS transforms
LTFS tape storage into a self-describing

medium that can be accessed through
standard file system interfaces, just like
disk and flash storage.
Simplifies the Use &
Adoption of Tape Storage No proprietary backup or archiving
software needed to access data on tape!
LTFS makes a tape cartridge operate like a thumb drive!

2. Why, When & Where
To Use Tape Storage

Tape Storage Use Cases
Data Protection & Archiving
Data Protection Archive

Business continuance and disaster recovery Long-term repository for fixed content. Holds the
solutions to protect against data corruption, primary copy (and may hold secondary copies, too),
data loss or site outage but is separate from production storage.
• Protection of active/changing data Strategy for retaining fixed content/data

• Is a copy of original data Is the original data [may include copie(s) of data]
• Short term strategy Long term strategy
• Periodically refreshed One time, permanent record
• Tied to application Independent of application
• Protect business operations Governance, compliance & preservation

Data Protection
Two Distinct Use Cases
1. Business Continuity
Near term protection against instances of data
corruption or loss
2. Disaster Recovery
Protection against partial or complete data center loss
or destruction

Data Protection Best Practices
To Ensure Complete Data Protection Use “3-2-1 Rule”
Maintain at least…
3 Three copies of the data “It is not disk vs. tape, but when
(production copy, DP copy, decoupled DP copy) and how to use each to
optimize data protection”
- Mark Peters, ESG
2 At two different locations
1 One copy on tape (decoupled)

1. Archive
Long term retention of inactive or less active data

Why Archive?
Benefits Of Implementing A Unique Strategy For Archiving
1. Improve overall storage efficiency “Up to 70% of the capacity of every disk currently
deployed could be reclaimed through the proper
• Lower total cost of ownership of storage application of data hygiene and archiving to tape.”
resources ─ Jon Toigo
Search CIO - Midmarket
• Off-load/reduce data protection workload(s) Storage Tiering And Storage
Reclamation Reduces Budget Strain
• Disk storage reclamation
2. Ease data lifecycle management “For inactive data… automated tape systems are
with set and forget automated emerging as the lowest cost alternative. Google and
other cloud service providers have large tape
archive policies libraries because they understand the economics
are compelling and deep archive on disk is too
3. Ensure governance and compliance expensive.”
mandates for data retention are met ─ David Floyer, Wikibon

The Clipper Group, “Revisitng the Search for Long-Term Storage – A TCO Analysis of Tape and Disk”

Common Approaches to Digital Archiving
1. Backup as archive, the path of least
resistance
• Inefficient use of storage resources
• Loss of context (especially in tape)
• Inefficient search and retrieval
• Approximately 6 out of 10 organizations do this
2. Archive in place, a.k.a. do nothing strategy

• Inefficient use of storage assets
• No central locus of control
3. Application specific, a.k.a. built-in archiving

• Creates silos of information mgmt/archiving
• No single index: redundant search

Backup Compounds Storage Growth Concerns
