IBM Comprehensive Data protection Solution Express
Overview:
The new IBM Comprehensive Data Protection Solution Express includes hardware and software that
mid–sized organizations need to enhance data protection capabilities in a Windows environment.
This solution helps clients restore access to e–mail, files, and databases within seconds, rather than
the hours or days it takes to restore using traditional backup solutions.
The solution consists of Tivoli FastBack, System x3550 server and IBM DS3000 Express/DS4000
Express/DS5000 series storage. The solution offers Microsoft Windows Server based customers the
perfect balance of data protection and recovery. Companies relying on manual tape as their primary
backup and recovery medium will have faster, more reliable recoveries. For companies with remote
offices, the burden of backup and recovery is removed from the non-IT savvy staff and moved to
the central data center where the expertise resides. With Fastback and IBM System Storage,
downtime is greatly reduced. Tivoli Fastback is based on continuous, frequent and scheduled policy
based backups, and when paired with IBM system storage, data recovery is quick and easy for both
remote workgroups and central office environments. And for those who need application and server
level protection, Fastback makes recovery of transactions, emails and even servers quick and
simple.
Tivoli Fastback provides you value with:
Patented express mount technology for instant, disk based recovery: Tape can take hours
or even days to recover lost data, which means expensive downtime and low success rates.
Fastback and IBM Storage reduces recovery time to minutes and ensures recovery
reliability to the transaction level.
Protection for both servers and applications: Fastback and IBM Storage protects Windows
Servers, offering bare metal restores, and application level protection for Oracle, SQL,
Exchange and SAP.
Easy administration: Eliminate user error and much of the time spent managing backup
and restores. “Set it and Forget it” policy engine.
Granular data protection for Exchange and SQL Server: Fast, reliable recovery of individual
files, emails, database transactions as well as entire volumes. Recover data and get back
to work in minutes.
Regulatory Compliance: Accurately retaining and rapidly accessing data required by
compliance and discovery policies.
IBM System x server features include
• Dedicated server to run TSM FastBack server for high-performance that maximizes your IT
investment
• Go green and save with new design and tools for optimized power management
IBM System Storage features include:
Easy-to-use storage management software common across the DS3000 and DS4000
families. Task driven interface makes managing storage fast and easy.
The ASIC based RAID 6 protection with outstanding performance
Single Enclosure Tiered Storage: Put high performance Fibre Channel or SAS and high
capacity SATA drives in the same enclosure, reducing costs by eliminating the need for
multiple drive enclosures.
Dynamic Features: enable flexible storage management with very fast provisioning times
DACstore: Volume group metadata is stored on all drives in the array, which allows drives
to be relocated within the storage system to improve channel utilization/protection or even
migrated as a complete volume group into another storage system.
