Bellevue University System Local Replication Solution & Data Storage Presentation

Create a non-narrated presentation (PowerPoint) with speaker notes in which you review and analyze the following business-critical service-level agreement (SLA) scenario and then accurately respond to prompts following.

Scenario:

You are presented with the following facts about an organization’s business-critical application data. The application stores data in a logical unit (LUN), configured with RAID 1. The size of the LUN is 1 Terabyte (TB). On average, the data that changes in a 24-hour period is 60 Gigabytes (GB). The organization has 2 data centers that are approximately 1000 miles apart.

As a data storage consultant, you have identified the organization has the following requirements:

1. 1. A solution is needed to address the logical corruption of data.
   2. The RPO requirement of the business-application is 1 hour.
   3. If there is a logical corruption to the data, up to 8 hours of old data would need to be restored.
   4. The amount of storage used for data protection should be minimal.
   5. The organization also requires a disaster recovery (DR) solution that should not impact the response time of the business-application.

You need to provide the following recommendations and justify your reasoning.

1. Recommend an appropriate storage-based system local replication solution to meet the RPO requirements with the minimum amount of storage used.
   1. Provide the estimated storage required by your recommendation.
2. Recommend an appropriate remote replication solution for the DR requirements.

A couple of notes regarding presentations.

1. Title and Reference slides (Table of Contents or Questions? slides as well) do not count toward the page requirements

2. Avoid too much text – describe the main points you wish to make. Add graphics/clip art to emphasize your points and make the presentation visually appealing.

3. Leverage the platform utilizing tables/charts/graphs/ wherever possible. You can create these yourself (best) or borrow from a source – be sure to cite the source if you use someone else’s work.
