the iMpoRtaNce of data

The importance of data protection has become even more critical over the last decade. It is

crucial to not only protect your data but also improve its availability in order to ensure business

continuity. Without advanced data protection, your organization suffers from inadequate data

capabilities that affect your ability to recover costs due to a workforce that is unable to work,

meet service level agreements (SLA’s) and comply with tough new regulatory mandates on

data protection and availability. Without these capabilities, you risk losing customers, gaining

negative publicity and decreasing overall workforce functionality. BakBone Software provides a

powerful line of data protection products to prevent these problems and give you the freedom to

choose the platforms that are most useful and cost effective for your organization. In addition to

these basic business functions, return on investment (ROI) is being scrutinized more than ever.

BakBone firmly believes that the key to increased ROI is simplicity, integration, interoperability

and a single point of contact for service and support. We develop our award-winning data

protection solutions with these key elements in mind.

data growth and complexityBusinesses are not only dealing with data that is growing exponentially but also with different kinds of data from applications across multiple platforms. The result is often an IT infrastructure consisting of tens, hundreds or perhaps even thousands of servers coupled with disparate tech-nologies from a wide range of storage providers. As the need to make data available 24/7 becomes the norm, businesses must also contend with shrinking backup windows, demands for faster recovery times, new regulatory compliance issues, and constrained budgets and resources.

With the operational management of storage accounting for 70 to 80 percent of total storage related costs (Gartner Group), finding the right software to implement an effective data protection strategy is crucial to every business. With so much at stake and so many things to consider (such as databases, applications, operating systems, devices and geographically dispersed locations), finding the right solution can be a daunting task.

BakBone understands data protection and its inherent challenges. Our goal is to make your life easier by developing data protection solutions that offer an unsurpassed combination of flexibil-ity, integration, reliability, scalability, total cost of ownership (TCO) and simplicity.

effective data protection BakBone’s Integrated Data Protection™ (IDP) strategy embraces today’s demanding needs for data protection, data availability and data reten-tion by ensuring solutions that are flexible, cost effective and easy to integrate and manage. IDP takes an integrated modular approach to help you achieve your data protection objectives, reduce complexity and realize faster ROI. After all, integration should be more than products that all come in the same color box.

“performing

backups is almost

a ‘set and forget’

process now.

With BakBone, it

takes less than an

hour each week to

review daily reports

of the previous

night’s backup,

which rarely require

intervention.”

Real-time Replication for peace of MindNetVault: Replicator provides fast, automatic, real-time replication of file system data to one or more servers anywhere on your LAN or WAN. The software operates seamlessly in heterogeneous Linux, Solaris and Windows environments. Qualified in DAS, NAS and SAN environments, NetVault: Replicator helps you leverage your existing infrastructure by increasing ROI and minimizing TCO.

Remote site data consolidation (consolidated Backups)The challenge of managing local backups is even greater when managing backups at remote sites. Relying on local non-technical resources to ensure remote site backups are initiated, monitored for completion and validated for accuracy can cause a great deal of stress. Enlisting the help of someone at a remote site to load a new tape into the library before they go home for the night is one thing, but what happens if the backup fails? Will someone stick around to monitor the job, troubleshoot and then restart the backup?

As you know, backup failures due to hardware issues or bad media are commonplace. NetVault: Replicator offers peace of mind by allowing you to regain control over all backups. By replicating real-time data from remote offices back to your data center, you gain complete control of the backup process.

Another advantage of consolidated backups is that remote offices no longer have to contend with backup windows. Local systems remain online and accessible, increasing productivity. NetVault: Replicator delivers the peace of mind you’ve been searching for.

disaster Recovery (dR) /standby servicesThe best way to protect your organization’s most critical data from the threat of disasters is storing a copy of key data at a remote location. In the past, this could be facilitated by performing a backup to tape and then carrying a tape offsite or using a tape vaulting and archiving service. While this approach may be acceptable in some cases, it is not be the ideal solution for protecting data tied to ambitious recovery point and recovery time objectives (RPOs and RTOs).

By capturing data changes locally in real time and immediately replicating those changes to an off-site location, not only can you be confident that a copy of your data is available in the event of an interruption but your users will be relieved knowing the data recovered from the remote site is still of immediate high value. Critical data recovered from the most recent backup (up to 24 hours old) will likely be significantly less valuable than data that is only minutes or a few hours old. Taking this one step further, NetVault: Replicator’s built-in 2-node failover capabilities can assist you in getting your standby server online as quickly as possible.

data synchronization (Content Distribution)Whether for distribution of system images across a LAN or WAN, or an improved Web site experi-ence via edge caching, how do you distribute dynamic data to remote servers? How do you dis-tribute this data cross-platform from a Linux server to a Windows server, or a Solaris server to a Linux server? NetVault: Replicator is an excellent tool for simplifying data synchronization and content distribution in heterogeneous Linux, Solaris and Windows environments.
