Defining Availability and Disaster Recovery
¡ High Availability (HA) refers to eliminating
the business impact & downtime due to
a hardware failure
– RAID-DP
– Active-Active controllers
¡
¡ Continuous Availability extends HA by
providing protection from external events
such as power, cooling and network
failures, eliminating planned and
unplanned downtime and data loss
– NetApp MetroCluster
¡ Disaster Recovery provides site resiliency

protecting against failures that affect an
entire datacenter
– NetApp SnapMirror

Disaster Recovery Market
¡ IDC estimates worldwide storage replication market to be $2.7 billion, a

7.6% increase from 2007. And, to $4.2 billion in 2013, an average
annual growth of 8.7%.*
¡
¡ Growth is expected in the Linux and x86 operating environments. The
speed of growth in the x86 environment is mostly due to the success
of VMware and other providers of virtualization technology.
¡
¡ The role of replication is evolving beyond disaster recovery and business
continuance scenarios. Replication software is also being used
whenever a replica is needed anywhere in the organization from the
core to the edge.
* IDC WW Storage Replication Software 2009-2013 Forecast

Considerations for replicated data
¡Can I replicate data across

dissimilar storage, multiple
storage vendors and multiple
applications with a single
solution?
¡
¡Do my DR requirements change

in a virtual environment?
¡
¡Can I leverage my DR solution

for other business purposes
without increasing risk and
complexity?

SnapMirror Overview
¡SnapMirror is a thin replication solution based on Data

ONTAP Snapshot™ technology
–Replicates volumes or qtrees from source to
destination NetApp storage systems
–Transfers only changed unique blocks in 4KB
increments
–Supports synchronous, semi-synchronous, and
asynchronous modes
–Reduces bandwidth requirements by 70% with native
network compression
–Works with NetApp deduplication for FAS on source
–Supports dissimilar systems and disk types

“Do I think we buy less storage on a year‑to‑year basis because of how we use NetApp
thin provisioning? I certainly do. We probably buy 20% to 25% less storage per year. That
saves us between $75,000 and $100,000 annually. It allows us to give an application the
illusion of having more space than it does, while properly allocating the storage for it
behind the scenes.”

What is SnapMirror®
Network Compression?

SnapMirror Network Compression

¡No new license required; free!
¡Simple option to enable or disable compression
¡Enables compression over network to lower network

¡Configurable per SnapMirror relationship
¡

Compression Decompression
Compressed data
across the wire

Compression and Decompression
¡On the source system:
−Data blocks are handed off to
compression engine for
compression
−Compressed blocks are transferred
over the network
¡On the destination system:
−Compressed blocks are received
and decompressed
−Decompressed data is reordered
and written to the disk/volume.
¡
¡

Prerequisites
¡Volume SnapMirror
−Generally available starting Data ONTAP 7.3.2
−Over 24K installs in first 6 weeks of GD
−Exception: Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode
−Obtain NetApp approval for earlier versions
¡Qtree SnapMirror
−Requires NetApp approval
¡SnapMirror Sync and SnapMirror Semi-Sync
−No support
¡All platforms are supported including V-Series
and N series
¡Requires
−The /etc/snapmirror.conf file
−A connection name

Configuration
When using single path

name = multi (src,dest)
name:src_vol dest:dest_vol compression=enable * * * *
When using multipath

name multi (src_ip1,dest_ip1) (src_ip2,dest_ip2)
name:src_vol dest:dest_vol compression=enable * * * *
Compression can be disabled by removing the

compression=enable option
Cannot be enabled or disabled for an active transfer
àTransfer must be aborted
¡

Configuration
¡SnapMirror compression cannot be configured by
Protection Manager
¡It is possible to import the relationship with compression
into Protection Manager
¡SnapManager products
−SM-VI unable to recognize connection names
and therefore cannot make use of compression
−Other SnapManager products use SnapDrive to perform
updates
−They can make use of compression when
configured in snapmirror.conf

Why SnapMirror Network
Compression?

Why SnapMirror Network Compression?
¡ Maintain same RPO level for increasing

replication demands
¡ Improve RPO without buying more bandwidth
¡ Use the network bandwidth for other purposes
¡ Speed up the initial transfers

Maintaining the Same RPO
Problem Your data replication needs

are growing. You need more
bandwidth to maintain the same
level of RPO.
Solution By using network compression,

it is possible to maintain the
same RPO without purchasing
additional network bandwidth

Improve your RPO
Without Buying More Bandwidth
Problem You are using all of your network
bandwidth. However, you want to
reduce their exposure to data loss
—in other words, to improve their
RPO.
Solution By using network compression,

you can improve your RPO without
purchasing more network
bandwidth.

Use Network Bandwidth
for Other Purposes
Problem Your replication is consuming all of
your bandwidth. You want to use the
network bandwidth for other
purposes such as client access or
applications without purchasing
additional bandwidth.
Solution By using network compression, it is

possible to reduce the bandwidth
consumed by SnapMirror without
sacrificing RPO, thereby freeing up
network bandwidth for other
purposes.

Speed up Initial Transfers
Problem Initial SnapMirror transfers could

be large and therefore could take a
long time to complete under
bandwidth constraints.
Solution By using network compression, it

is possible to speed up the initial
SnapMirror transfers.

¡NetApp does not guarantee similar
compression ratios

CPU Overhead Due to Compression
¡ CPU overhead due to compression can be
viewed in two ways
¡ Constant transfer time
– CPU overhead is due to compression alone
– Overhead is not typically significant
¡ Reduced transfer time
– CPU overhead is due to compression AND
additional SnapMirror work to complete
transfer in shorter time
– Overhead can be very high

CPU Overhead for a Given Compression
Ratio
¡ For a given compression ratio, CPU overhead
increase can be approximated to be linearly
proportional to the increase in compression
throughput (or bandwidth)

Platform Compression Throughput Limits
¡ Approximate maximum compression throughput is
60Mb/sec per processing core. The CPU core is
100% utilized at this throughput.
¡ At the limits specified in the table, all CPUs are
utilized by compression

When (not) to Use
Network Compression?

When (not) to Use Network Compression?
¡ Ideal for low-bandwidth links. This also results

in lower CPU overhead
¡ Do not use network compression when
throughput without compression
(bandwidth) exceeds or comes close to the
compression throughput limits of the
platform
¡ Do not enable compression when there are
already CPU bottlenecks in the system

WAN Optimization
Devices

WAN Optimization Devices
¡ If your goal is:

– Only SnapMirror data reduction, try
compression feature
– Enterprise wide data reduction, WAN
optimization device is probably a better fit
¡ If there is packet loss on the link:
– WAN optimization device could help
¡ In general, it is not a good idea to combine
SnapMirror network compression and WAN
optimization device

SnapMirror Network Compression
¡ Benefits
– Improve your RPO without additional costs
¡ Data transfers are accelerated so you can replicate more often


¡ Enable companies to lease small, less expensive network as
appropriate
¡ Ideal solution for companies with remote offices with small network
links, but require robust data protection
¡
– Do more with what you have

¡ Frees up network bandwidth for other business use
