Patrick Osborne, director of product management and marketing for the HP Storage Division at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (HPE), and Njal Wogn-Henriksen, chief operations officer of the Oslo-based 99X Technology, spoke to John Furrier and Dave Vellante, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during HPE Discover 2015. The duo spoke about looking beyond your national backyard for business solutions and an explanation of the advantages of doing so. More for less Naturally, HPE Storage has a high focus on back-up. Osborne unpacked the details of how that aspect of his department is continuing to expand in the modern tech context, as well as the importance of removing the potential for errors and over-complication. “Back-up touches everything, so it’s an app-centric view,” he said. “It touches virtualization, it’s very taxing on the network, especially the Ethernet, IP network. You’ve got a bunch of different back-ends from a storage perspective, so if you have any minute change, or something gets affected in that whole stack, you have to understand the whole stack to be able to troubleshoot that.” Flat back-up By bringing in 99X and its strong focus on improving the process, HPE Storage has put its independent ambition into mutually beneficial service. Describing his company’s work, Wogn-Henriksen said, “I think we do back-up more or less every way there is. … We’re running back-up more or less 24/7. We’re moving, on average, about 2 gigs every second, every hour, every day for a week.” The idea of “flat back-up,” described by Osborne, avoids being bolted on to the basic service, and is instead “an endemic property of your primary infrastructure.” Explaining the appeal of this simplification, he noted, “For us, in this space of data protection, nobody likes back-up.” Wogn-Henriksen addressed the potential need for full roll-back recovery with its services, though no situation serious enough to require it has come up yet, by confidently stating, “The speed we are seeing now is more than sufficient.” @theCUBE #HPEDiscover
