Refer to Scenario .
A customer is looking to modernize their backup infrastructure. The current environment consists
of a single centralized data center and several remote sites. The centralized data center hosts all
core services and applications. The remote office primarily consists of sales personnel with 4000
use-North America, 500 in Europe, and 300 in Asia using file servers.
The current backup environment at the primary site uses CommVault backing up to a Fibre
Channel tape library that contains four ITO-4 tape drives. Currently they are backing up a number
of file servers as well as several databases that have average change rates of 7% daily Remote
office backups are currently performed by having users copy files to regional file servers that are

then backed up to tape.
In the past few months, the customer has expenenced problems with getting backups to finish
within their defined windows as well as issues with the tape library hardware. They now have
concerns about gaps in their backup coverage as well as the reliability of the tape media. In
addition, an internal audit shows a large amount of user-generated data is unprotected on remote
user laptops.
The customer is looking for a common platform to standardize their backups. They want a solution
which allows for a centralized infrastructure so -they do not need to rely on remote resources to
address hardware and software issues. The other goal is to move away from tape to a more
reliable disk-based solution.
The customer is interested in Avamar to backup all their worldwide remote users. Based on best
practices, which EMC solution will satisfy the customer’s requirements?

The customer is impressed by the performance of Avamar file system backups. However, they
have concerns about its ability to handle the backups of their databases. Which solution should be
recommended?

The Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of a large company has directed their IT management staff to
examine corporate wide operations and find ways to limit the cost of operations. The corporate
directives have prompted adoption of company policies that include the use of virilization for all
new servers and as many services as possible. The company is subject to government regulations

——–
concerning data retention policies for confidential data. Data has to be retained for seven years.
An audit of the backup and recovery environment is performed. The exhibit shows a typical site
and how it is connected to the disaster recovery environment. Data in the primary site is
configured on VMAX storage using FAST-VP to support multiple work load types on a single
storage array.
Data is protected by SRDF/A to a remote VMAX which acts as a target for multiple sites. The
remote copy of the data is snapped and copied to tape. Retention is accomplished to
governmental standards by offsite storage of tape in a remote protected facility.
The company has noted that it has the following requirements in any proposed architecture for the
backup and recovery environment:
Reduced power consumption
Reduced floor space consumption
Reduced storage capacity consumption
Lower WAN bandwidth utilization
Shorten RPO
Decrease RTO
Increase security
Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
The company wants to replace their SRDF/A technology with an EMC solution that can satisfy all
of the requirements stated by the CTO. Which technology should be used to replace replication
SRDF?

Refer to Scenario.
An enterprise customer would like to better address business continuity at all branch offices. Their
corporate data center resides in Chicago, Illinois and they would like all branch office data centers
to use Chicago as the destination for replicating backups.
Each branch office has a mixture of databases, e-mail, and other data that need full backups on
Friday evenings and daily incremental backups. Based on their new Chief Technology Officer’s
experience with deduplication, they are installing EMC Data Domain devices at all sites to take
advantage of the lower bandwidth requirements for backup replications.
The backup requirements for the branch offices are:
New York, Denver, and Houston = 100 GB full, 20% daily incremental
SCO, Seattle, and Kansas City = 20 GB full, 20% dairy incremental
The San Francisco branch office has an existing VTL infrastructure.

Which type of replication is recommended for their backups?
