Backup and Recovery Benefits for PLM 

Environments 

• Reduced backup windows 

• Greater PLM apps availability for 

24x7 distributed access 

• Consistent backups across Oracle 

database and PLM file vault 

• Consistent backups across sites 

• Instantaneous file/volume/LUN 

recovery

Storage Efficiency Requires Both 

Hardware and Software Approaches 

Storage Hardware 

• Delivers excellent performance with fewer 

and denser disk shelves, with storage 

caching and unified architecture 

Storage Software 

• Delivers storage virtualization, data 

reduction, and data protection that minimize 

data capacity, footprint, and management 

needs 

Native Capabilities 

• 100% organic suite of capabilities, many of 

which come as a standard part of every 

NetApp® system without extra license costs

NetApp Deduplication 

• Over 37,000 systems utilize 

NetApp deduplication today 

• Deduplication removes 

redundant data blocks from 

volumes, regardless of 

application or protocol 

• With deduplication, users can 

recoup 50% of their capacity on 

average and up to 95% for some 

data sets and environments 

• Only NetApp offers deduplication 

for primary, secondary, and 

archival storage tiers 


Deduplication of CAD Workspaces

Repository 

Solution 

• Consolidate all CAD workspaces 

on NetApp storage 

• Use NetApp deduplication to 

significantly reduce data footprint 

Benefits 

• Reduce size of data volumes by 

40% to 70% 

• Defer new storage acquisitions 

• Easier, more flexible data 

management 

―Since using NetApp’s deduplication technology, we deferred the need to purchase 

any additional storage by at least six to eight months.‖ 

– Polysius Corp.

Deduplication of PLM Central Repository 

$ 

€ 

¥ 

Environment 

• Siemens PLM Teamcenter 

• Central repository: small database (meta data) and 

large file vault (design files) 

Challenge 

• Designs share many common parts and assemblies 

• Large CAD files (100’s of MB) require lots of storage 

• 100’s of versions of CAD files with lots of commonality 

Solution 

• NetApp deduplication on PLM file vault 

Benefits 

• Dramatically reduce primary storage for PLM central 

repository 

• 57% disk savings (fmsload benchmark; Teamcenter 

environment)

Thin Replication 

Primary 

Systems 

―Thin‖ 

Transfers 

SnapVault® 

and 

SnapMirror® 

Stored Copies 

Secondary 

System 

• Over 50% of NetApp® systems 

utilize thin replication today 

• SnapMirror can be used for costeffective 

disaster recovery, or for 

remote 3D visualization 

• SnapVault can be used for D2D 

backup within datacenter or for 

off-site archival 

• After an initial copy, subsequent 

transfer moves only changed 

blocks 

• Enables virtual restores of full, 

point-in-time data at granular 

levels 

• Deduplication of the primary data 

offers further space reductions
