Proposed solution

Because of the limitations of the current backup solution for both performance and

enterprise-wide management, there is a need to redesign XYZ’s backup architecture

and strategy to meet its business objectives. An overview of the proposed solution is

given, followed by a detailed account of the solution. Note that this is a proposal

and not the only possible solution to XYZ’s storage management problems.

Solution overview

All clients and servers should be configured into a single Data Protector cell with the

Windows 2000 Server of the English Department as both the Cell Manager and

Installation Server for Windows systems. Use the HP-UX backup server of the Admin

Department as the Installation Server for UNIX systems. The backup devices consist

of an HP StorageWorks DLT 4115w Library, as well as two of the HP StorageWorks

DAT24 autoloaders that had been used to date. This suffices for the next five years

at the present data growth rate of 20 to 25% per year. The use of devices that have

been used to date provides an added advantage in case of disaster recovery. The

Windows 2000 client, which accounts for approximately a third of the data in the

English Department (12 GB), should be backed up locally to an HP StorageWorks

DAT24 autoloader. The proposed backup solution addresses the following key items:

• Achieving high performing backups

• Media management with minimum human effort

• Simple and effective disaster recovery

• Centralized backup reporting

• Automation of most backup operations

All this is achieved with a single solution in combination with the proposed hardware:
