Designing a tape solution What this exercise is about This exercise provides the opportunity to design a storage solution based on tape technology. You first analyze the customer requirements and define your solution to answer to customer's expectations. What you should be able to do Introduction At the end of the exercise, you should be able to: + Size and define a storage solution based on tape technology + Perform a capacity planning Your mission is to perform a high-level study to define and size the target solution for the back-up infrastructure based on tape technology using IBM T$3500 Tape Library with LTO4 technology. You are an IT Architect in charge of designing a back-up solution for a large company named “GTECH.” GTEGH's IT infrastructure is composed of six data centers: three data centers in USA (New York, Chicago, Miami) and three data centers in EMEA (Paris, Madrid, Brussels). The objective of GTECH is to consolidate to two data centers located in Paris and New York. Information provided by GTECH This exercise focuses on the data center consolidation in EMEA. + Data center in Paris (France): = Active data on disk: 600TB ~ Three IBM 3584 Tape Library with 12 LTO2 drives + Data center in Brussels (Belgium): = Active data on disk: 50TB ~ One IBM 3584 Tape Library with six LTO1 drives * Data center in Madrid (Spain): + Active data on disk: 2TB - Two Magstar MP 3575 Tape with four Magstar 3570 drives {© Copyright iBNt Corp. 2008, 2008 Exercise 1. Designing atape solution 1-1 Course materials may not be reproduced in whole or in part* Back-up window is 12 hours. + 100% of data are backed up on tapes. + GTECH data are currently growing at 30% per year. + New data on tape are daily replicated on site for DRM tape vaulting. + The solution should be designed to manage growth over the next five years. + Migration window is six months. Assumptions: + All existing tape libraries will be decommissioned and migrate to the new solution. + Daily data change rate Is 5%. + Back-up data versioning is 5 - No archive, + Tape fragmentation is 30%. + Compression used is 2:1 + Number of scratch tapes is 10% of data tape. + Tape drives throughputs: Tape Drive Uliana Uliom 3 Ultrium > Uieriumn t Sustained data vate (natives 120 MB/s (with NIA NVA NA Li media) ‘80 MB/s (with U3 | 80 MB/s (with LS N/K N/A media) meetin) ‘35 MB/s (with [2 | 58 MB/s (with L2 | 35 MB/s (with L2 NIA veda) ‘modia) NA ih Lt [20 MB/s (with Li] 15 MB/s (with LY ‘madia} siodia) media) [Sustained data sate (sompressed at | 210 MBZs (with N/A N/A N/A 2:1 compression)?

We have to take into account of tape replication and back-up/tape administration during the next 12 hours following the back-up window. For example we can decrease the back-up windows objective by 25% (9 hours). (82600GB / 345GB/h) / 9h = 11 LTO tape drives 3a. Onsite: 714 cartridges (compressed 2:1) 3b. The calculation is based on compression. We commonly use the ration 2:1 for normal operation in data center. You have to take care of specific applications and data, such as GED, video servers, and so on, because data are initially compressed. In this case, you should not have to use compression in your estimation. 3c. 11 LTO4 tape drives 3d.
