HPE Recovery Manager Central (RMC) software facilitates policy-driven, converged data protection and copy data management for your business critical applications at speeds required for all-flash storage.


RMC integrates HPE 3PAR, HPE Primera and HPE Nimble all-flash arrays with HPE StoreOnce Systems, leveraging snapshot performance with storage-integrated backups to deliver flash speed application protection and copy data management with less cost and complexity than legacy solutions. RMC is also built for cloud, allowing you to leverage public cloud for cost-effective long term retention of your backups.

  • Overview

    What’s new in RMC 6.3.0?

    Support for ‘Cloud Volumes Backup’ which enables users to backup from on-premises Primera/3PAR/Nimble arrays to the HPE Cloud Volumes Backup Stores and restore back to same or alternative Primera/3PAR/Nimble arrays.


    Key Features

    • − Centralized policy engine to automate copy data management and data protection, aligned with SLA requirements and business objectives.
    • − Create and automate application-consistent snapshots as primary line of defense against data loss or corruption risks. Supports multiple applications including VMware vSphere, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and SAP HANA databases. Integration with any other application can be scripted using RMC REST APIs.
    • − Fast and simple, application-integrated, snapshot-based backups from primary storage to protection storage for additional ‘air-gapped’ protection against threats such as Ransomware.
    • − RMC Express Protect Backups are up to 23x faster than traditional ISV-based backups. Data is moved directly from primary storage to protection storage without any intermediate server bottlenecks.
    • − Express Restore ensures only minimum changed blocks are read back from protection storage to deliver up to 15x faster restores than traditional ISV-based backups.
    • − Rapid recovery from any of the point-in-time copies: application-consistent snapshots, backups or copies on public cloud.
    • − Create space-efficient virtual clones from any of the point-in-time copies to be used for secondary use cases such as test/dev, analytics, reporting.
    • − Detailed reporting, audit logging, and e-mail notifications.
    • − Simple and intuitive GUI designed for storage generalists and database administrators without requiring storage specialist expertise.
  • Standard Features

    Under the Hood

    RMC allows you create, schedule, recover from, and manage the following types of copies:


    Snapshots

    RMC integrates with various applications to take application-consistent snapshots at any given point-in-time. RMC can take application-consistent snapshots of VMware vSphere VMs, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and SAP HANA databases residing on 3PAR volumes. Only Microsoft SQL Server is supported with HPE Nimble Storage at present. RMC can also take crash-consistent snapshots for any application or filesystem data on both 3PAR and Nimble Storage. Additionally, RMC REST APIs-based scripts to create crash-consistent snapshots can be combined with application quiescing scripts to ensure application-consistent snapshots for any application not mentioned above, across both 3PAR and Nimble Storage.


    ‘Express Protect’ Backups

    RMC also supports fast, efficient backups directly from 3PAR or Nimble Storage to HPE StoreOnce Backup systems using Express Protect technology. “Express Protect” Backups to StoreOnce using RMC and StoreOnce Catalyst technology are fast and efficient compared to traditional methods because RMC intelligently detects changed blocks between successive snapshots and only those blocks are moved over the wire. With average deduplication ratios of 20:1, StoreOnce ensures efficient use of backup storage space. Recovery is also fast and reliable, because all backups stored on StoreOnce are “synthetic fulls” or self-contained volumes and available for recovery instantly – back to the original or different storage array, even if the original base volume is lost.


    RMC with Express Protect

    Combines the simplicity and performance of array-based snapshots with the reliability and cost-effective retention of deduplicated backups to deliver a true, integrated data protection solution that goes beyond the storage array itself. Keeping your backups on a separate “air-gapped” platform such as StoreOnce ensures fault isolation from data loss risks such as ransomware attacks that array-based replication technologies are susceptible to.


    Catalyst Copy

    For additional disaster recovery needs, RMC also supports automating and scheduling ‘StoreOnce Catalyst Copy’ which copies Express Protect Backups to one or more remote StoreOnce appliances on a second DR site.


    Cloud Copy

    RMC also integrates with StoreOnce CloudBank Storage technology which allows you to automate and schedule creating a copy on a public cloud tier such as Amazon S3 or Microsoft Azure or on an on-premises object storage such as Scality. Reads and writes to and from the object storage repository are designed with efficiency to ensure you incur less charges from the cloud service provider by moving only as less data as is required without having to rehydrate the deduplicated data. RMC also integrates with Cloud Volume Backups allowing for direct backups being created from On premises Primera/Nimble/3PAR arrays to Cloud Volume Backup Store and restore back to same or alternative Primera/3PAR/Nimble arrays.


    Clones

    RMC enables you to create a 3PAR R/W snapshot or a Nimble Zero Copy Clone, which facilitates creating copies of your VM or database for test/dev or other secondary data use cases without occupying any additional storage space or affecting the performance of your production copy.

Centralized Copy Policy Engine for Policy-Driven Automation of Copy Management

RMC facilitates automation of the lifecycle of each copy of your VM or database, by allowing you to define the frequency and retention requirement of each copy on each tier of storage (primary, secondary, cloud/DR) through centralized copy policies. This allows you to define a copy policy based on the organization’s SLA requirements and business objectives that can be enforced as per each protected object’s SLA needs.


For example, you could create a Gold policy that deems it necessary to retain 3 copies of your data across primary, ‘air-gapped’ secondary, and cloud storage tiers, each with different retention requirements. As an illustration, hourly snapshots retained for no longer than a day; daily backups retained for up to 1 week; daily copies to public cloud retained for up to 1 year. A Bronze policy might just specify taking snapshots every 24 hours, retained for a week. A critical finance database on Oracle might be mandated to be protected under the Gold policy, while a less critical HR database on SQL with lower change rates might be protected with the Bronze policy.


Management Plane

VMware administrators can access all of this functionality from within the familiar VMware vCenter management console. Oracle, SAP HANA, and MS SQL Server administrators can access all of this functionality from the user-friendly RMC GUI, which can also be launched directly from a link within the MS SQL Studio management interface.


Installation

RMC is very easy to deploy and set up using just a few simple clicks. The RMC installer can be installed on a Microsoft Windows server with a connection to a VMware ESXi host, supported primary storage arrays and StoreOnce systems. This one-time installer wizard guides the user to go through a set of pre-flight checks to evaluate environmental readiness and helps the user deploy RMC as a VMware Virtual Appliance. RMC can also be installed on a Hyper-V VM (connected over iSCSI or vFC*). In case the user does not have a StoreOnce appliance at the time of installation, the RMC installer also offers the option to install a free 1TB StoreOnce VSA for evaluation purposes to experience the benefits of Express Protect, first-hand. This trial VSA can then be upgraded to a fully working version by purchasing permanent licenses, if desired. For licensing and download instructions, please see relevant sections elsewhere in this document.

Notes:* For RMC deployment on Hyper-V VMs, the Windows Hyper-V host server must have the following security updates - KB4015217 for Windows Server 2016 and KB4015550 for Windows Server 2012 R2 - or later roll-ups installed.

Key features and benefits of Recovery Manager Central Software


Centralized policy-driven copy data management

Create centralized copy policies quickly and easily to govern the frequency and retention of all copies of your databases or VMs across primary, secondary and cloud storage tiers.


Drive adherence to SLA requirements and business objectives by mandating specified levels of copy policies (Eg: Gold, Silver, Bronze) to be used for certain VMs or databases.

Copy policies can be set for all supported applications across all supported storage platforms to encompass application-consistent snapshots on the primary array, backups to StoreOnce backup systems, copies on a second StoreOnce system or copies on StoreOnce CloudBank storage for DR purposes.


Drive timely expiration of the copies as much as creating them – to avoid copy sprawl.


Space-efficient storage with fast and efficient data movement across storage tiers

Snapshots on 3PAR or Nimble arrays are space-efficient, thinly provisioned, pointer-based virtual copies, occupying very little space.

Backups to StoreOnce are deduplicated inline and offer up to 20:1 deduplication ratios on average.


Backups on StoreOnce are always ‘Synthetic Fulls’ or self-contained volumes available for recovery instantly – back to the original or different storage array even if the original base volume is lost.

Snapshot-based backups with multi-streamed parallel ingest facilitates faster and efficient backups compared to traditional backup technologies. RMC’s “Express Protect” Backups are up to 23X faster than traditional methods. Meet your backup windows more easily even for your largest data sets.


Copy backups efficiently to StoreOnce CloudBank Storage on a public cloud tier or on-premises object storage for long-term backup retention by moving only changed blocks as required thereby reducing network bandwidth requirements.


Fast and efficient recovery (“Express Restore” – up to 15X faster than traditional methods) by moving only changed blocks as necessary – ensures you recover from data loss quickly and don’t end up paying heavily for data egress charges from public cloud tiers.


Protect against ransomware and unlock secondary data use cases without affecting production

RMC Backups to StoreOnce are always written using the StoreOnce Catalyst protocol which make it immutable and therefore when it comes to ransomware protection, make it safer than replication technologies, which easily mirror the security threat or corruption on the remote array.


Storage-integrated data protection ensures there is no impact to production applications due to the backup workload. Data is moved directly from primary storage to protection storage without having to be read and written by a separate backup server.

Spin up mock environments of your application for test/dev use cases by creating space-efficient clones of your database or VM. Virtual clones based on 3PAR R/W snapshots or Nimble Zero copy clones do not consume any additional space. Physical clones are deduplicated and stored efficiently.


Create one-off clone copies from any available point-in-time copy across primary, secondary, and cloud storage tiers.

Derive more value out of your secondary copies for use cases such as reporting, analytics, etc., or carry out granular recovery without affecting your production environment by ‘mounting’ the backup copy as if it were a snapshot on primary storage (“Element Recovery Technology - ERT”).

Deployment simplicity and ease of use

Get set up and running in a matter of minutes without requiring professional services. The RMC installer wizard is provided with pre-flight checks to reduce the probability of non-product issues in your storage environment unnecessarily delaying your installation.

The new, simplified RMC GUI and dashboard is built to ensure even storage generalists and database administrators can intuitively carry out all functions and monitor progress. Storage specialists are not required to operate RMC.


VMware administrators can continue using the familiar vCenter Management console for carrying out all RMC operations including snapshot management, backup and recovery or cloning, without requiring to depend on storage or backup administrators.


API-driven architecture

All RMC operations can be orchestrated and automated via REST APIs.

Customize data protection and copy data management for any application - not just the ones officially supported by RMC - by combining application-specific scripts (to quiesce the application I/O) with RMC REST APIs

to automate management of snapshots, backups, and copies.


Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Using RMC allows you to create as less copies as is required, keep as less copies as required, make sure that the copies consume as less space as required and consume as less bandwidth as required while moving the copies around primary, secondary or cloud tiers – overall enabling you to lower your total cost of ownership and derive more value out of your secondary storage investments.
