What We are Finding in Customer Environments
Most companies, due to overprovisioning and poor visibility into their storage environment, have anywhere from 30% to 40% disk storage utilization
They have:– Overly complex storage management environments– Over provisioned storage– Limited transparency of the data value– Limited financial transparency– Limited use of tools & operational execution to reduce the amount of
wasted data
Over reliance on Tier 1 storage
Rarely revisit tiering structure for applications & data once deployed
Excessive replication which also has implications on archive, backup/recovery and disaster recovery
Hold excessive data on-line which negatively impacts application performance & availability

Archive Requires a Smarter Strategy
#IBMEDGE
Definition of Backup vs. Archiving• Backup is for recovery from hardware failure and/or recent data corruption
• Archive is for space management and long term retention
– Archiving is an intelligent process for managing inactive or infrequently accessed data, that still has value, while providing the ability to preserve, search and retrieve the information during a specified retention period.
Shifting how Archive is Viewed• Keeping Too Much• Disorganized• Difficult to Find Items• Slow to Retrieve• Little Value Provided
• Keep Needed Data Only
– Has some organizational value/purpose
• Data is Indexed– Easy to Query/Find– Retrieval
• Low Cost to Maintain for Long-term
– Secured data.• New Value Generation
– Innovation / Analysis

#IBMEDGE
• Lower costs primarily from:– Lower cost of media
– Minimal need for Power & Cooling
• Increased flexibility from ability to:– Add capacity by simply adding
tape cartridges
– Expand tape libraries over and around existing equipment in the data center
• Reliability: lower bit-error- rates, read verifications after writes.

Non-Erasable, Non-Rewriteable (NENR) storageOptical Platters
The original write-once, read-many (WORM) media, including DVD and CD-ROM
Tape CartridgesIBM LTO and TS1100 drives support WORM media
Disk DrivesDisk media is not WORM, but we can add “software enforcement” against tampering
WORM
NENR
From U.S. SEC 17a-4If employing any electronic storage media other than optical disk technology (including CD-ROM), the member, broker,
or dealer must notify its designated examining authority at least 90 days prior to employing such storage media.
The electronic storage media must:
Preserve the records exclusively in a non-erasable, non-rewriteable, format;
#IBMEDGE
Comply with regulatory and security Requirements
Why? So you can confidently protect your strategic information assets
1. Use non-erasable, Non-rewriteable storage for data retention and regulatory compliance requirements• WORM tape media (LTO and 3592)• N series with SnapLock™ Compliance and
SnapLock™
2. Complementing Software
System Storage Archive Manager
IBM Optim, Content Collectors and eDiscovery tools
#IBMEDGE
WORM Tape• 3592 cartridge media

Compliance Archive through Software Enforcement• System Storage Archive Manager (SSAM)
– Is a special “hardened-for-archive” TSM server– Is an archive/retrieve only solution
• Archive: copy data or file from client to preserve for later use– Facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements – Has special data retention protections– Accepts data from TSM client API or the SSAM client
• SSAM client = Archive only version of TSM B/A client
• SSAM performs storage management– Manages data placement based on policies– Manages migration of data within storage hierarchy
#IBMEDGE
IBM System Storage Archive Manager Overview• SSAM is licensed by data capacity rather than number of
processors – Primary storage pools only
• TSM support for Non-Erasable, Non-Rewriteable (NENR) media, including– SnapLock™ for IBM N series and NetApp storage
devices– EMC Centera– IBM 3592 WORM tape – LTO WORM tape
#IBMEDGE
SSAM Data Retention Protection
• SSAM includes the following capabilities–Archive object protection
• Archive object cannot be deleted until retention period is expired–Chronological (time) Based retention policies–Event Based retention policies
• Allows starting retention period of objects based on an event–Deletion Hold / Release
• Hold overrides retention time countdown• Hold & release controlled by API or SSAM/BA client
• Additional Data Retention Protection:–Decreasing retention time of archived objects is not possible–Deleting retention policies (management classes) is not possible–Administrator cannot delete nodes or objects

TSM/SSAM Transparent encryption• TSM provides simple key management
– Available for TSM API applications; e.g. DP Exchange, DP SQL,…– TSM API Client generates a random encryption key password
• Per data object selected by “include. encrypt” and “exclude. encrypt” criteria– TSM API Client passes encrypted data object encryption key password to TSM Server
across “the wire”• TSM Client-Server “Session Key” used to encrypt/decrypt• AES128 encryption used if BOTH Client and Server support it
• HW Tape Drive Encryption ( IBM TS1120-TS1140, LTO4-LTO5)– Device Class specification– One encryption key for each tape volume/cartridge– TSM Server generates, encrypts, and stores the encryption key in the TSM database along with
other tape volume metadata– TSM supports HW provided encryption modes, Application, System and Library– TSM manages key in Application mode, other modes transparent to TSM
• Backup-Archive client simple key management support (TSM 5.5)
