Performance case studies Common Europe june 2012COMMON Europe
This document provides an example of using IBM's Performance Data Investigator tool to analyze collection services data from an IBM Power Systems server. The analysis identifies a period of low CPU utilization that corresponded to a rise in operating system contention. Drilling further into the wait data revealed that most wait time was due to disk page faults from a database server job. The threads of that job were each waiting over 90% of their time. The analysis then identifies the user and database that the server job was processing data for. In the end, while some issues were diagnosed, further job watcher data would be needed to fully understand the source of identified machine level gate serialization waits.

TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER▶Symantec Backup Exec 2014 Blueprints - Optimized Duplic...Symantec
This Blueprint is designed to help with customers who are utilising Backup Exec’s deduplication Option to improve back end storage capabilities within a complex backup environment.
Challenges of Legacy Disaster Recovery Methods
Offsite data protection helps organizations plan for disaster recovery by keeping backup copies of important data at one or more additional locations other than the main office. Data is usually transported offsite using removable storage media such as magnetic tape or optical storage.
Companies relying on tape solutions to protect against disaster face several challenges, including tape transport costs, security issues, and the complexities of media management. Many companies are looking for alternatives that allow them to overcome or avoid these challenges, such as methods that copy or replicate data electronically over a WAN/LAN connection to disk storage at a disaster recovery site. Alternatives such as these enable lower costs, improved security, and improved Recovery Point and Recovery Time Objectives (RPOs/RTOs).
Backup Exec’s Optimized Duplication Technology
Backup Exec™ 2014 offers a cost-effective backup replication method known as optimized duplication. Optimized duplication combines the powerful backup and data deduplication technologies in Backup Exec™ 2014 to enable the optimized transfer of data over a LAN/WAN connection from one Backup Exec server to another Backup Exec server. Copying backup data from one Backup Exec server to another using optimized duplication makes the same backup data available for recovery at multiple locations, thereby offering a convenient and cost-effective disaster recovery solution.
This Blueprint is designed to help with customers who are utilising OST technology with Backup Exec’s deduplication Option to improve back end storage capabilities within a complex backup environment.
Relentless Information Growth
The data deduplication technology within Backup Exec 2014 breaks down streams of backup data into “blocks.” Each data block is identified as either unique or non-unique, and a tracking database is used to ensure that only a single copy of a data block is saved to storage by that Backup Exec server. For subsequent backups, the tracking database identifies which blocks have been protected and only stores the blocks that are new or unique. For example, if five different client systems are sending backup data to a Backup Exec server and a data block is found in backup streams from all five of those client systems, only a single copy of the data block is actually stored by the Backup Exec server. This process of reducing redundant data blocks that are saved to backup storage leads to significant reduction in storage space needed for backups.
Data has increased the necessity in making greater investments in IT infrastructure, with the increase in the duplication of data and Data protection processes, such as backup, has compound data growth creating multiple copies of primary data made for operational and disaster recovery. This has also made the Backup Infrastructure far more complex. Now that disk-based systems inherently offer faster restores, disk systems can also make backup environments more complex and difficult to manage. This creates a problem for many backup solutions to manage advanced storage device capabilities such as data deduplication, replication, and ability to write directly to tape.
Power of OpenStorage Technology (OST)
Symantec Backup Exec software and the OpenStorage technology (OST) have been designed to provide centrally managed, edge-to-core data protection in order to span multiple sites and provide disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) functionality and automate Data Movement. The OpenStorage API introduced in Backup Exec 2010 provides automated movement of data between sites and storage tiers and acts as a single Point of Management and Catalog for Backup Data, regardless of where it resides (remote office or corporate data center) or of what type of media it is stored on (disk or tape), or its age (recent backup or long term archive), providing better Control of Advanced Storage Devices.
The OpenStorage initiative allows customers to better utilize advanced, disk-based storage solutions from qualified partners. It gives the ability to ensure tighter integration between the backup software and storage, greater efficiency and performance using an easy-to-deploy, purpose-built appliance that does not have the limitation of tape emulation devices: increasing Performance and Optimization, achieving faster backups to deduplication appliances via a third-party OST plug-in enabled by Backup Exec.
What is NetBackup appliance? Is it just NetBackup pre-installed on hardware?
The answer is both yes and no.
Yes, NetBackup appliance is simply backup in a box if you are looking for a solution for your data protection and disaster recovery readiness. That is the business problem you are solving with this turnkey appliance that installs in minutes and reduce your operational costs.
No, NetBackup appliance is more than a backup in box if you are comparing it with rolling your own hardware for NetBackup or if you are comparing it with third party deduplication appliances. Here is why I say this…
NetBackup appliance comes with redundant storage in RAID6 for storing your backups
Symantec worked with Intel to design the hardware for running NetBackup optimally for predictable and consistent performance. Eliminates the guesswork while designing the solution.
Many vendors will talk about various processes running on their devices to perform integrity checks, some solutions even need blackout windows to do those operations. NetBackup appliances include Storage Foundation at no additional cost. The storage is managed by Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) and presented to operating system through Veritas File System. Why is this important? SF is industry-leading storage management infrastructure that powers the most mission-critical applications in the enterprise space. It is built for high-performance and resiliency. NetBackup appliance provides 24/7 protection with data integrity on storage provided by the industry leading technology.
The Linux based operating system, optimized for NetBackup, harden by Symantec eliminates the cost of deploying and maintaining general purpose operating system and associated IT applications.
NetBackup appliances include built-on WAN Optimization driver. Replicate to appliances on remote sites or to the cloud up to 10 times faster on across high latency links.
Your backups need to be protected. Symantec Critical System Protection provides non-signature based Host Intrusion Prevention protection. It protects against zero-day attacks using granular OS hardening policies along with application, user and device controls, all pre-defined for you in NetBackup appliance so that you don’t need to worry about configuring it.
Best of all, reduce your operational expenditure and eliminate complexity! One patch updates everything in this stack! The most holistic data protection solution with the least number of knobs to operate.

Availability and Usage of Platform-Specific APIs: A First Empirical Study (MS...Andre Hora
A platform-specific API is an API implemented for a particular platform (e.g., operating system), therefore, it may not work on other platforms than the target one. In this paper, we propose a first empirical study to assess the availability and usage of platform-specific APIs. We analyze the platform-specific APIs provided by the Python Standard Library and mine their usage in 100 popular systems. We find that 21% of the Python Standard Library APIs are platform-specific and that 15% of the modules contain at least one. The platforms with the most availability restrictions are WASI (43.69%), Emscripten (43.64%), Unix (6,76%), and Windows (2.12%). Moreover, we find that platform-specific APIs are largely used in Python. We detect over 19K API usages in all 100 projects, in both production (52.6%) and test code (47.4%). We conclude by discussing practical implications for practitioners and researchers.

At least of 1.5GB of physical memory on each protected client for client
side deduplication
Each protected client should have at least 1 dual core processor
Expect at least 75% CPU utilization during backup operation
11. Symantec Backup Exec Blueprints 11
Backup Exec Blueprints: Deduplication
Client deduplication use case recommendations
• Client Deduplication Can Simplify Remote Office Protection
• Scenario 1: Direct Backup
– Backups transmitted from remote office servers to Backup Exec server at
central location
– Remote office servers use Client Deduplication
• Scenario 2: “Store and Forward”
– Backups stored to Backup Exec server at remote office
– Deduplicated blocks transferred from remote office Backup Exec server
to central Backup Exec server
– Remote office Backup Exec server acts as “client” to central Backup Exec
server
– Requires CASO
12. Symantec Backup Exec Blueprints 12
Backup Exec Blueprints: Deduplication
Appliance deduplication use case recommendations
• Some Customers Have Invested in Deduplication Appliances
• Appliance Deduplication Can Be Leveraged
– Deduplication appliance handles all aspects of deduplication
– Requires OST plug-in
• Enables Intelligent Replication Tracking
– Backup Exec server tracks deduplicated backup data replicated to
additional deduplication appliances
– Can restore from replication target appliances
13. Symantec Backup Exec Blueprints 13
Backup Exec Blueprints: Deduplication
Tape recommendations
• Server and Client Deduplication Backups Stored to Disk First
• Can Be Copied to Tape Devices
– Just add tape stage in backup workflow
• Deduplicated Data “Rehydrated” Before Being Stored to Tape
– “Rehydrated” = restoring original data from deduplicated blocks
Backup Exec ServerProtected Client
Tape Device
Data is “rehydrated” before it is
transferred to tape
14. Symantec Backup Exec Blueprints 14
Backup Exec Blueprints: Deduplication
Disk recommendations
• Symantec recommends the following as minimum disk speeds
per individual read, write, or verify operation:
– Up to 32 TBs of storage:
• 130 MB per second
• 200 MB per second for enterprise-level performance
• 32 to 48 TBs of storage: 200 MB per second
• 48 to 64 TBs of storage: 250 MB per second
• The above recommendations are for the performance of a
single operation. You may need more capability depending on
your objectives for writing to and reading from disk.
Note: You should be aware of the effects that computer disk speeds have on
deduplication performance.

19. Symantec Backup Exec Blueprints 19
Best Practices: Deduplication
Do the following…
• Deduplication Database Sizing
– Roughly 6-8 GB of database size per 1 TB of stored deduplicated data.
– Maintenance routines make a backup copy of the database
– Additional space required for database backup copy
– Use a dynamic volume that can grow as needed
• Processor Utilization
– At least 75% processor utilization for that processor core for the duration
– Minimum: Backup Exec server should have at least one four cores processor;
(for 64 TB of stored deduplicated data, 8 cores are required)
– Recommended: 8 cores
• Agent for VMware and Hyper-V
– Image-level backups of VMware virtual machines require server deduplication
20. Symantec Backup Exec Blueprints 20
Best Practices: Deduplication
Do the following…
• Physical Memory on Backup Exec Server
– 8 GB of free physical system RAM for up to 5 TB of deduplicated data
– For more than 5 TB of data, use the following:
• 1.5 GB x N, where N = the number of TBs of deduplicated data to be stored
• Physical Memory on Client
– 1.5 GB of free physical memory on each client that uses client
• Use Dedicated Logon Account for Deduplication Disk Device
• Changing Backup Exec Logon Account Password
– If you change Backup Exec logon account password, use the spauser.exe
utility to update it
22. Symantec Backup Exec Blueprints 22
Best Practices: Deduplication
Do not do the following…
• RAID Caching
– Do not enable RAID caching on disk hosting deduplication disk storage device
• Verifying Backups
– Verify with the duplication job
• Client Deduplication
– Do not use client deduplication if remote system has heavy processing load;
use server-side deduplication
• WAN Considerations
– Do not use server deduplication with backups over WAN
– Remote office protection without local storage should use client
deduplication
• You cannot create a deduplication storage folder in a storage path
that contains double-byte characters
