Simplified configuration and deployment
The native replication technology of ProtecTIER enables the
automated electronic replication of backup data between one or
more data centers, remote offices and offsite storage locations
for enhanced disaster recovery and business continuity. By elim-
inating the need to physically transport actual tape cartridges,
data can be recovered faster and more reliably to enable systems
to get back online quicker in the event of a disaster or major
system outage. It also lowers the total cost of ownership of
backup and recovery by eliminating the costs associated with
moving and storing physical tape cartridges.
ProtecTIER native replication technology provides:
●● ●
Automated, bandwidth-efficient electronic replication of
backup data
●● ●
Many-to-one replication for enhanced remote office data
protection
●● ●
Many-to-many replication for multidata center environments
●● ●
Enterprise-class data integrity level at all sites
●● ●
Ability to designate remote site as primary site during disaster
situation
●● ●
Ability to clone cartridges to tape at remote site
●● ●
Concurrent replication with backup and inline deduplication
●● ●
Easy-to-use, graphical user interface-based management and
monitoring tools
Deploying a System Storage TS7650 ProtecTIER
Deduplication Appliance can help organizations more
efficiently protect their corporate data on disk-based storage
while helping them manage the exponential growth of new
data through reduction or elimination of duplicate data in
their backups.
