Conoscere …
• Le risorse informatiche attuali, distribuzione sul territorio e loro interazione
Direzione generale e 6 centri distribuiti uno per provincia più le sedi di Codroipo, Tolmezzo,
Cervignano
• Ogni sede indipendente con proprio Hardware server e desktop, nessuna virtualizzazione o
parziale virtualizzazione ( server).
• I centri di Udine (Pasian di Prato) e Trieste sono dotate di figure professionali per il supporto IT
delle proprie sedi e dei centri periferici
• Particolarità della produzione: Offerta formativa dinamica, corsi di prima formazione con
didattica su varie materie generali, corsi professionali anche su progettazione/grafica (Autocad,
Solidworks Photoshop., ecc..) e utilizzo dell’infrastruttura IT per gli uffici amministrativi

Problematiche esistenti
• Desktop/Workstations: difficoltà nel manutenere e mantenere aggiornata l’offerta
formativa in un ambiente particolarmente dinamico da personale debitamente qualificato
• Costi continui per la sostituzione/smaltimento causa obsolescenza Hardware/Software;
• Interruzione dei servizi dovuti a guasti o problematiche software
• Assorbimento elettrico spesso elevato e non considerato
• La sicurezza dei dati locali e della macchina è spesso involontariamente lasciata ai
singoli utenti
• L’adeguamento tramite personale qualificato agli standard aziendali per il provisioning
dei sistemi sull’intera area geografica, la movimentazione del personale tecnico verso le
varie sedi;
• Tempi lunghi per la predisposizione di nuovi laboratori alle attività formative, l’utilizzo di
aule informatiche per corsi diversi durante la giornata;
• Attività di teledidattica assente o limitata
• Server: necessità di consolidare la parte server in una infrastruttura più sicura, gestibile e
dinamica rispetto a quella esistente distribuita prevalentemente su varie unità fisiche.
Business continuity.
• Storage: mancanza di una SAN, sicurezza dei dati demandata ai sistemi di BackUp dei
singoli server, impossibilità di assegnazione di storage «on demand», impossibilità di
garantire maggiori performances per applicazioni + esigenti, storage obsoleti non
compat. vSphere 5/VAAI

Desktop & Server virtualization VMWare
View 5.0 e vSphere 5.0
• Riduzione di risorse locali (le elaborazioni vengono eseguite sui
servers) con conseguente allungamento della vita delle postazioni di
lavoro
• Riduzione dell’impegno economico, i Thin Client hanno prezzi
d’acquisto inferiori ai PC e sono meno soggetti ad obsolescenza,
guasti o usura. Riutilizzo PC obsoleti. Riduzione dei costi energetici
• Semplificazione della gestione globale degli uffici e in particolar modo delle aule
didattiche. Distribuzione semplificata e immediata di aggiornamenti software e delle
policy degli accessi.
• Riduzione dei tempi di manutenzione in caso di guasto: più semplice il rimpiazzo di una
unità Thin Client (o di PC come client virtuale)
• Consolidamento della gestione della rete informatica dei punti formativi regionali,
permettendo la manutenzione o il provisioning dei sistemi da remoto.
• Permettere l’accesso ai docenti ed agli studenti alla piattaforma formativa da postazioni
remote di altre sedi ENAIP oppure direttamente da casa.
• Garantire uniformità dell’offerta formativa tra tutte le sedi regionali.
• Server consolidation: HA Server Host, vMotion, gestione centralizzata, Backup & DR

WAN-optimized Data Replication:
Falconstor Microscan
• Applications and file systems
write far more data to disk than
actual changes
• FalconStor CDP scans the
changes at a 512 byte level and
replicates only the changed data
– Avoids constant re-sending
of duplicate data
512
byte
= empty disk sector
= data written by application or file system
= sector with actual data change
A typical 8k write of
data. Many systems
send all 8k or more.
FalconStor CDP
sends only the truly
changed sectors.

Integration with Site Recovery Manager
• FalconStor Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) integrates

• NSS provides replication engine
• Virtual disk assignments are automatically coordinated
with associated virtual machines with the help of SRA
• Disaster recovery scenarios can be tested at any time
– A TimeView snapshot image is created and mounted to a virtual
machine being tested
– The virtual machine is started
– Recovery is validated and TimeView image removed

La soluzione FalconStor e VMware implementata da NT Nuove Tecnologie ha portato
grandi vantaggi alla nostra infrastruttura e al nostro lavoro, semplificando la gestione di
un ambiente articolato e complesso tramite la virtualizzazione e garantendone la totale
sicurezza, con tempi di ripristino decisamente ridotti, efficienza energetica e importanti
tagli nei costi di manutenzione. Oggi, il nostro personale ed i nostri "utenti/allievi" sono in
grado di operare da qualsiasi sede, con la garanzia di un ambiente evoluto, uniforme e
sicuro e con importanti vantaggi sul piano della gestione didattica. “

Addressing Common Challenges
Our budget was cut this year, but we need a good disaster recovery plan.
What can we do?
How do I protect physical machines? Do I have to recover to the identical
physical machine at the disaster recovery site? Can I use a VM as the
disaster recovery standby machine?
I have a handful of business-critical applications that need to recover in
minutes, not hours. Is there a rapid recovery solution available for select
systems and applications?

47
Addressing Common Challenges
I can’t implement VMware SRM because of various
hardware/environmental reasons. We need complete recovery
coverage
Most solutions I have looked at only guarantee crash-consistent data.
Can I make sure that after failover my tier-one database will be
mounted cleanly without wasting time repairing inconsistencies?
During a site outage, I may want to temporarily move my protected
workloads, physical machines, and VMs to the disaster recovery site.
Can this process be automated? How can we automate the entire
failback process back to the production site?

What is RecoverTrac?
A disaster recovery tool that maps servers, applications, networking
storage, and failover procedures from source sites to recovery sites,
automating the logistics involved in resuming business operations at the
recovery site.
Extends the functionality of FalconStor CDP/NSS solutions and operates
in all environments, independent of server, network, application, or
storage vendor
Allows creation of recovery jobs
Single server or multiple servers (groups)
Can use dependencies: order of start, delays, network re-mapping

Clone Mode Restore: Creates a new virtual drive from a
recovery snapshot and assigns it to the host for use
Recovery Mode Restore: Reverses the replication – the roles of
the replica and primary disks are switched

  • 46. Usage Rights Copyright © 2013 FalconStor Software · All Rights Reserved Storage virtualization & DR solutions 46 Addressing Common Challenges Our budget was cut this year, but we need a good disaster recovery plan. What can we do? How do I protect physical machines? Do I have to recover to the identical physical machine at the disaster recovery site? Can I use a VM as the disaster recovery standby machine? I have a handful of business-critical applications that need to recover in minutes, not hours. Is there a rapid recovery solution available for select systems and applications?
  • 47. Usage Rights Copyright © 2013 FalconStor Software · All Rights Reserved Storage virtualization & DR solutions 47 Addressing Common Challenges I can’t implement VMware SRM because of various hardware/environmental reasons. We need complete recovery coverage Most solutions I have looked at only guarantee crash-consistent data. Can I make sure that after failover my tier-one database will be mounted cleanly without wasting time repairing inconsistencies? During a site outage, I may want to temporarily move my protected workloads, physical machines, and VMs to the disaster recovery site. Can this process be automated? How can we automate the entire failback process back to the production site?
