SQL Server estates are continually growing, and traditional backup targets often become the primary bottleneck in failing to meet aggressive recovery time objectives. Stop managing backups and start orchestrating them.
Explore how Pure Storage FlashBlade®, as part of the Enterprise Data Cloud, overcomes constraints through a scale-out architecture for rapid backup and recovery throughput. We will share baseline performance data, including restore speeds exceeding 100 TB/hr, and provide practical guidance on integrating FlashBlade with native T-SQL backup using SMB and S3 protocols.
Key Takeaways:
- Operational simplicity: Uses policy templates to eliminate manual configuration and human error.
- Flexible multi-protocol integration: Advantages of using both SMB and S3-compatible object storage as native backup targets, including the use of multiple Virtual Interfaces (VIFs) to maximize throughput.
- Optimized performance tuning: Gain insights from real-world validation data on how to balance host CPU usage and compression (using ZSTD) to achieve the most efficient backup and restore windows for your environment.
