Available Today, Legato NetWorker 5.7 Delivers Unparalleled
Enterprise-level Scalability, Performance, Reliability and
Manageability to Customers of Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.
Legato Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:LGTO), the leader in enterprise
storage management software, announced the immediate availability of
Legato(R) NetWorker(R) 5.7 for Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4. In
conjunction with providing data protection for Windows 2000 and
Windows NT 4 platforms, NetWorker 5.7 provides seamless integration
with the existing NetWorker family of servers, storage nodes, and
clients, eliminating the need for multiple backup solutions, workgroup
or point solutions for platform data protection.
Legato NetWorker is the only consistent architectural solution
available that protects enterprise-wide data on all industry leading
platforms. NetWorker 5.7 delivers platform data protection of the key
Windows 2000 storage management features and the foundation for future
integration of Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 and Microsoft SQL Server
2000. With the addition of NetWorker's broad set of application
specific modules, NetWorker 5.7 can protect application database, ERP
and messaging environments hosted on the Microsoft Windows 2000
platform. NetWorker Module for Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 and
NetWorker Module for Microsoft SQL Server 7 are available immediately
for support of Windows 2000. Other NetWorker Modules will be delivered
over the coming months. As Microsoft Windows 2000 advances Microsoft's
platform penetration into enterprise environments, Legato NetWorker's
traditional enterprise strength and experience is a natural
combination for enterprise customers.
"We're very excited about the powerful management tools Legato has
developed for Windows 2000," said John Knie, industry marketing manger
for Data Center Solutions at Microsoft Corp. "NetWorker 5.7 will help
customers who manage mission critical data in a distributed
environment to quickly and easily manage their business applications
on Windows 2000 based servers."
Developed from an early and close collaboration with the Microsoft
Windows 2000 development team, NetWorker 5.7 realizes Windows 2000
data protection implementing Microsoft Windows 2000 storage management
APIs. This architecture enables comprehensive protection of user and
system data including: the Microsoft Active Directory service, System
State, NTFS file system, ACPI/OnNow, multiple system databases, and
system-protected file system.
Extending the Legato Information Continuum
NetWorker 5.7 extends the coverage of, and provides the foundation
for, the Legato Information Continuum Standard Data Protection and
Transparent Data Protection models, allowing customers to deploy a
single solution to protect their critical data. The Legato Information
Continuum defines a set of solutions that work together to protect,
move, and manage information. The Information Continuum model offers
four service levels based on an organization's requirements. The first
level is Standard Data Protection, often referred to as backup and
recovery. The second is Transparent Data Protection which allows
"transparent," off-host backup and recovery. The third level is Fault
Resilience which adds high availability of applications and data,
minimizing the occurrence of planned or unplanned interruptions. The
most advanced level, Continuous Operations, greatly extends an
organization's solution to cope with site outage by automating
remote-site recovery capabilities.
