Centralized backup
Centralized backup solution is designed
for all levels of computing environments
from workgroup to departmental to the
whole organization. The primary
objective for a backup solution is to
back up data. A backup is an exact
duplication of a data file, data set, or
complete system from a hard disk. Should
the hard disk data be destroyed or
corrupted, the data will be quickly and
accurately restored from the backup
tape. Tape drives, with their different
technologies, reasonable speed and low
cost per gigabyte for storage, form the
simplest backup strategy. To meet the
requirements of limited backup time and
huge amounts of data, autoloaders or
tape libraries working with storage
management software can provide
unattended (automated) centralized
backup solutions.
Remote mirroring
The remote mirroring solution allows the
customers to replicate, protect, and
share data in dynamic new ways. Realtime
and point-in-time copies improve both
data security and mobility for a variety
of critical activities, including
protection, testing, disaster recovery
and data warehousing. Customers can
replicate data quickly and safely within
the same data center or even between
different data centers. Sharing data
within the enterprise can enable
immediate response which is also a key
component of business agility.
Remote copy automates the duplication of
current production data from a primary
site to a remote site, ensuring the
mission-critical data is safe, secure
and current. Through industry-standard
ExSA, it provides reliable remote copy
over long distances with links located
up to 43 kilometers away.
Storage Area Network
Storage Area Network (SAN) is the latest
storage architecture utilizing Fibre
Channel Arbitrated Loop technology,
Fibre Channel hubs/switches, and other
components to deliver the "network" for
storage. It is a dedicated and
high-speed network that connects servers
and storage devices to improve a
company's data availability. SANs
separate the management of servers from
the data. Managing storage separately
from the servers provides new degrees of
freedom in enterprise information
technology management. Additionally,
moving storage and storage management
away from the LAN to off-load the LAN
for client/server production. SANs
provide cost-effective storage
consolidation, and enable the creation
of common shared storage pools attached
to multiple servers. Software will be
the key to the achievement of the
expected benefits from a SAN. In
particular, improved software capability
enable users to seamlessly access
storage devices on any operating system.
