SpectraLogic - The right solution to handling archive and backup requirements rests on a simple observation: data exists in one of two basic states. The first state is that of primary data, or data that is in active use on expensive, fast disk. The second state is that of secondary data, or data that is stored for archive or backup.

From the observation that data can be classified as either primary or secondary, a clear technology need emerges: the need for storage dedicated to secondary data—to archive and to backup. An integrated archive and backup platform lets you easily manage secondary data, using appropriate hardware that meets power and space consumption concerns, and still gives you the flexibility to implement replication, D2D2T, and much more.

The Right Solution: Spectra nTier Intelligent Secondary Storage (ISS) Appliance
Spectra Logic’s nTier line of Intelligent Secondary Storage (ISS) Appliances are the first in this new category of data protection. nTier simply and elegantly addresses the multiple problems of how to manage, access, and store data once it has moved from primary storage.

The nTier Server Family
  • nTier500 for small to mid-range organizations
  • nTier700 for mid-range organizations and departmental applications
  • nTier900 for large enterprises
Once your data moves off primary storage to the nTier archive and backup server environment, it stays there. The data can be replicated, archived, and written from disk to tape, without ever having to go back out on the SAN or through external servers.
By addressing the entire problem with a unified solution, rather than approaching it through a multitude of single-purpose appliances, you save time, money, and energy through an inherent simplicity.

 

SOFTWARE

Time Navigator

A Comprehensive and Modular Data Management Solution

  Time Navigator Server
Available on a wide range of platforms, Time Navigator Server is the central point of administration for agents, database modules, storage nodes, libraries and drives. The software provides the tools to hold backup strategies and schedules, and keep track of all backed up object indexes in order to enable time navigation.

Time Navigator Storage Node
Time Navigator Storage Node is a key component for SAN backup as well as remote site backup. It provides the optimal way to gather data streams to a central location to be backed up seamlessly to tape or disk, while relying on a centralized Time Navigator Server for administration and index management. A storage node handles libraries and drives, centralizes data streams and supports an unlimited number of database modules.

Backup Agents
The Time Navigator Agent resides on the client host to read and write data during backup and recovery operations and send the data to the host or storage node. It is a native agent, capable of backing up and restoring files with all relevant attributes for optimal restoration.

Database Agents
Database agents are plug-in modules that use the native method provided by database vendors to backup the databases while running. They are non-disruptive to the database operations and allow full or partial recovery after a major or minor database incident.

Data Archival Module
The Data Archival module is the natural add-on to Time Navigator's backup and recovery engine. This module provides a simple way to graphically select, classify and document sets of data for long-term archiving purposes. Through a central repository of folders, archives and keywords, the data can be easily retrieved on demand. This module is easily interfaced with business applications, either via the API or the command-line mode, to provide unlimited storage space.

Disaster Recovery Module
The Disaster Recovery module provides advanced capabilities to store images of disks, including system disks, for full recovery in case of a major system crash. The recovery operation is based on a bootable CD that seamlessly recovers the most recent image available from the Time Navigator backups.

NAS Modules
The Network Attached Storage modules consist of agents for NDMP-based NAS, an agent for Windows-based NAS, as well as the NDMP Data Server that enables any file server to be backed up and restored via the powerful NDMP method. In addition, the NDMP tape server offers tape and library automation in order to centralize backup from multiple remote NASs.

SAN Modules
The Storage Area Networks modules consist of shared drive options, storage nodes, and the Enterprise Storage module. The storage node is installed on all hosts and is backed up directly via the SAN, enabling LAN-free backup to shared drives and libraries on the SAN.

Live Backup


Features and Benefits

 

Real-Time Protection
CDP Technology monitors files for changes and backs up data as it's saved, ensuring recovered data is as recent as the last save.

Complete Transparency
Data gets backed up automatically without end-user work pattern interference or network overload.

Data Deduplication
Eliminate duplicate user documents and system files in Full System Protection mode, which saves storage space, reduces bandwidth usage and significantly saves costs.

Disconnected State Support
Protect PC data in a disconnected state and backup laptops even while they're roaming.

Central Management
Administrators can enforce consistent backup policies across the WAN and control features available to individual users.

Increased Flexibility, Management and Scalability
Easy transfer and redirection of clients from one Live Backup server to another simplifies IT management when the business grows or you add remote office users.

Remote Administration
Remotely repair system malfunctions with the Management Console interface.

Self-Serve File Recovery
A user-friendly interface makes file recovery easy for users, minimizing the need for IT assistance, improving productivity and lowering TCO.

System Rollback and Disaster Recovery
Versioning capability lets you easily restore malfunctioning systems without time-consuming troubleshooting. Disaster Recovery restores systems from a system image on a local CD or network drive.

True Bare-Metal Disaster Recovery
Completely restore lost, stolen or unbootable PCs and laptops without reinstalling the OS and applications-in only hours versus days.

Automated Checkpoints
Automated checkpoint generation guarantees consistent and continuous computer protection without relying on administrator or user responsibilities. Enabling frequent checkpoints improves the success of disaster recovery and system rollbacks.

Enterprise Ready
Data compression and redundant file elimination increase storage efficiency and minimize impact on network bandwidth.
