This document provides an overview of technical best practices for Veritas and Microsoft Azure using a detailed reference architecture. It discusses common practices and challenges, best practices for data movement and long-term retention, best practices for workload resiliency and migration, and concludes with a wrap-up and Q&A section. The document outlines solutions for challenges around performance, capacity, data growth, coverage, and efficiencies using Veritas Access for long-term retention and data movement to Azure, and Veritas Resiliency Platform/Cloud Mobility for predictable workload resiliency, migration, and portability to Azure.

Workload Protection & Data Management in Multi-Cloud Challenges with Common Approaches to Resiliency, Migration & Long-Term Retention Organizations can move data to the cloud • Using various protocols such as Object, Block, NFS and CIFS/SMB. • Capabilities such as StorageTiering enables performance and cost optimization by moving data to Hot and Cool tiers. • Policy based bi-directional data movement helps to bring back hot data to on-premises storage • Encrypted and secure stream of data sent to cloud Deployment of Access in AZURE to help with Cloud native Apps DR support for NAS workloads with replication across DCs Ensure optimal and flexible data movement to AZURE 1 2 3 © 2017 Veritas Technologies7

Data Location and Replication • Microsoft will not store customer data outside the customer- specified geography except for certain regional services • Azure replicates data both locally and to different physical locations • Every blob is replicated across three computers in a Microsoft Azure datacenter • Geo-replicated storage in a datacenter hundreds of miles away • Microsoft may transfer customer data within a geo (e.g., within Europe) for data redundancy or other purposes • Microsoft does not transfer customer data outside of a geo (e.g. From US to Europe or from Asia to US) AZURE • Chooses where data resides • Configures data replication options CUSTOMER North Central US South Central US East US West US West US 2 West Central US US East 2 Central US US Gov Iowa US GovVirginia Canada Central Canada East North Europe West Europe UKWest UK South Germany Central Germany Northeast South East Asia East Asia East China North China Japan East Japan West Australia Southeast Australia East India South India Central Brazil South (Primary) South Central US © 2017 Veritas Technologies12
