Network Appliance Announces New Data Protection Software Solution
SnapVault(TM) Software Coupled with the NearStore(TM) R100 Delivers a Fast and Simple Online Backup and Recovery Solution
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 20, 2002-- Network Appliance, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTAP - news), a leading provider of enterprise storage solutions, today announced SnapVault, an innovative data protection software solution for NetApp® filers that simplifies backup management and speeds data recovery. Together, SnapVault software and the NearStore R100 storage appliance improve data protection, reduce business interruptions, and lower management costs. This capability augments Network Appliance's leadership in providing robust, scalable, and economical storage architectures for global enterprises.
Combining SnapVault software and the NearStore R100 allows enterprises to back up even more data online with minimal impact on filer performance and capacity. SnapVault software enables customers to efficiently copy and store Snapshot(TM) files from multiple local and remote filers to the NearStore R100. This fast, automated process eliminates the need for scarce backup time windows, ensures immediate access to data for fast recovery, and significantly reduces management complexity, while improving solution performance. This approach fundamentally changes and improves primary storage backup, enabling centralization and consolidation of data protection resources.
``Global businesses are running 24x7 and backup windows are continually shrinking, driving enterprises to explore alternatives to traditional data backup and recovery. Coupling technologies like the NearStore R100 appliance and SnapVault software enables companies to offload backup from mission-critical storage resources to a centralized repository. This approach maximizes storage performance, eliminates the need to bring resources offline for backup, and ensures faster data recovery,'' said Steve Duplessie at Enterprise Storage Group.
``Information is vital to our business and it is imperative that we protect critical data. NetApp SnapVault software simplifies local and remote filer backup with automated technology that consolidates Snapshots to a NearStore R100 appliance, before archiving to tape,'' said Jeff Kennedy, UNIX Systems Administrator, at AMCC. ``This cost-effective architecture gives us the highest level of data protection, requires less overall management, and reduces our total cost of ownership.''
Highlights:
Automated and simple online data protection
Centralized backup of local and remote filers
Efficient use of network bandwidth and storage capacity
Enhanced NDMP-compliant tape backup solutions
