ADIC Scalar 1000 Qualified by EMC For Use With EMC Data Manager Delivers Scalable, High Performance Protection for Storage Networks REDMOND, Wash., Sep 11, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Advanced Digital Information Corporation (Nasdaq: ADIC chart, msgs) today announced that EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC chart, msgs) has qualified the ADIC Scalar 1000 automated tape library platform for network and SAN backup with the EMC Data Manager (EDM) software. The qualification covers data protection both for EMC Symmetrix installations and for a complete range of open system storage environments, including all leading UNIX and Windows operating environments. Tape technologies covered by the initial qualification include DLT and AIT-2. "EDM is one of the most advanced data protection and recovery solutions available today," explained Bill Britts, ADIC executive vice president of Sales and Marketing. "Its performance and reliability, which have been proven within EMC enterprise applications, extend to a wide range of operating systems and storage environments. The availability of an integrated Scalar 1000 EDM solution will now extend high performance, scalable data protection to a broad IT community that needs innovative solutions to keep up with their exploding amounts of information." "Backing disk up to automated tape libraries is a critical part of the data protection process in network and SAN environments," said Chuck Hollis, EMC vice president of products and markets. "ADIC's Scalar 1000 makes that protection more effective by providing advanced storage networking support features and a system for scaling that preserves performance and reliability. The combination of EDM and the Scalar 1000 provides a new solution option that our enterprise customers will welcome." EDM consolidates backup and recovery for many types of open systems environments and streamlines the organization of files and databases for archiving and rapid recovery tasks. It also provides dramatic improvements to performance and supports LAN, LAN-free and serverless backup to scale even the most demanding backup and recovery requirements while minimizing people costs for backup and recovery tasks. EDM connects to user network (IP) and storage area networks (Fibre SANs) to consolidate and control the backup tasks for all of an organization's open systems servers. The Scalar 1000 is a high performance scalable tape library platform with an integrated storage networking architecture. Its unique barrier-free expansion lets the library grow easily with customer data while maintaining superior performance and reducing costs. The Scalar 1000's storage networking capabilities increase the performance of SAN backup and make it easier to manage. Supported features include a server-free backup agent, self-reporting connectivity health checks, a built-in SAN firewall, and integrated utilities which increase backup performance and reliability.
