Why should you attend?

Sponsored by Exagrid, Commvault, and Mosaic Technology the seminar will discuss how data deduplication and advances in archiving software are changing the way companies look at archiving.

Join us for a meeting of good info, good colleagues and great food. We’ll show you how to:

• Easily implement enterprise-wide storage management and e-discovery with solutions for email, collaboration, file system and Network Attached Storage (NAS) data.
• Manage archival data using tiered storage and support Microsoft Exchange servers, IBM Lotus Notes, and Microsoft SharePoint
• Reduce primary storage dramatically
• Simplify management and meet compliance and discovery objectives
• Eliminate failed backups and restores
• Reduce backup and archival disk space rby 10 to 50:1, or more
• Substantially reduce your backup window
• Implement WAN-efficient offsite system for tape replacement/disaster recovery

Every now and then we come across a well written white paper that – even though it’s sponsored by a vendor – presents a compelling argument.

That’s the case with “Extending D2D to Offsite DR: The ROI Case for Wan Vaulting.”

Written by Barb Goldworm of Focus Consulting for Data Domain, it uses case studies to show the benefits of deduplication and D2D backup and how it can be extended to deliver cost effective offsite data protection and DR.

This is a well thought out and well written effort. It shows how to build a case for WAN vaulting using direct and indirect savings, TCO, ROI and payback periods. However, this is not a detailed math and formula guide – it uses real world examples with appropriate tables and graphs.

“Extending D2D…” offers substance and readability.

VTF™ Open, Diligent’s first generation virtual tape library is a software solution that emulates tape libraries, enabling existing backup applications to use disk, rather than tape, as their backup medium.

By utilizing disk in the backup operation, customers achieve much greater data throughput performance, high availability, data protection (RAID, mirroring, replication), reduced mechanical and human errors, and rapid recoverability.

• Benefits of Virtual Tape. Virtual Tape has recently emerged as the easiest, most effective method of deploying disk in the open systems data protection environment. Benefits of virtual tape include:
  • Dramatically improved backup and recovery times
  • Increased backup reliability
  • Improved data center productivity
  • Reduced tape equipment and media costs

• Non-Disruptive Deployment. Because VTF Open exactly emulates existing tape libraries, customers do not need to change existing backup policies, practices or procedures.

VTF Open runs on a dedicated server that is connected to a Fibre Channel attached disk array. The combination of the software, server and array create a virtual tape solution that appears to the backup application as one or many real tape libraries.

ProtecTIER is the only truly enterprise class deduplication platform on the market today. ProtecTIER has been deployed in close to 100 Fortune 500 (or equivalent) data centers around the world. Capable of inline deduplication throughput of 450MB/s or more, ProtecTIER delivers the speed required by the most demanding data centers, while eliminating the need for a dedicated “post-process” window that is required by most competing deduplication products.

At the heart of ProtecTIER is Diligent’s game-changing deduplication engine — HyperFactor™ that eliminates redundant data, and radically reduces the amount and cost of physical storage required. The results of HyperFactor are dramatic.

• Greater Performance. Operating at 450MB/s per node, ProtecTIER increases backup disk capacity by 25X or more – while maintaining 100% data integrity.
• Lower Acquisition Cost. For the first time, the acquisition cost of a disk-based data protection solution is now below that of an equivalent tape-based solution.

ProtecTIER is a software data protection platform that runs on a standard Linux server and connects to a standard Fiber-Channel attached disk array. These three elements combine to form a high capacity, high performance and highly scalable solution for backup, recovery and archive data.

ProtecTIER is available in two categories of offerings. The ProtecTIER Enterprise offerings address the needs of the enterprise data center in both scalability and throughput performance. ProtecTIER Mid-Range offerings are tuned for mid-sized environments and are priced to fit within the budget of the mid-sized customer.
