Bring Efficiencies and Savings to Your Tape Backups

Magnetic tape storage has been a feature of the data center since the very earliest days of computing. Reel-to-reel tapes have evolved into high-capacity tape cartridges, boasting exceptional durability that continues to earn them a place in over half of today’s hybrid data centers. Yet while tape backup tends to be inexpensive and reliable, the proliferation of data—over time—can drive up the total cost of ownership (TCO), transforming it from a minor expense to a pricey backup target.

We Do Tape Backup Software Differently

Arcserve's unique tape drive backup technologies that improve the economies of data protection by:

• Enabling longer retention periods
• Reducing storage
• Integrating powerful deduplication into your existing backup environment Store critical data on nearly any tape device, from a single tape drive to huge tape libraries. Manage more data in more locations. Reduce time spent managing backups, no matter how simple or complex your infrastructure. As a foundational solution of Arcserve’s data protection solution portfolio, our backup’s modular architecture enables you to start small and grow as you need to, adding modules to provide additional levels of protection without having to learn a new product or buy another solution.

Capabilities

• Stop wasting time sifting through data with centralized management and storage resource manager (SRM) reporting. Monitor the status of all backup activities, find the nodes that are taking the longest, locate backed-up data, and track volume, disk, and memory usage on every production server
• Incorporate sophisticated functionality into your VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer platforms. Simplify system management with a view of your entire environment and mitigate the risk of data loss on virtualized servers
• Increase reliability with smart restore capabilities. Redirect restore jobs to other media containing the same data without any manual intervention
• Quickly restore individual application objects from Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft SharePoint
• Deliver faster, more efficient backups and restores with UNIX and Linux data movers for SAN-based backups
• Meet application-specific requirements with backup to disk, backup to tape, disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T), disk-to-disk-to-cloud (D2D2C), virtual tape library (VTL), hardware snapshot support, multiplexing, and multi-streaming
