Nearstore Virtual Tape Library (VTL)

NetApp information Server 1200 Reseller

Network Appliance delivers a comprehensive data protection solution through a combination of products and services focused on your particular business or technology problem, which drives measurable business value into
your organisation.

The Challenge: Ensuring Mission-Critical Data Is Protected and Easily Recoverable

Business operations require dependable access to secure information on a timely basis. The abilities to complete transactions, respond to inquiries, properly communicate, and serve customers all hinge on efficient information flow. Lost, unavailable, or corrupted data—whether due to human error, equipment failure, security breach, or large-scale disaster —results in suspended operations and reduced productivity, revenue, and performance.

The Answer: Simple, Robust Data Protection from Network Appliance

Network Appliance offers a fully integrated, proven data protection solution that includes hardware, software, and
services. The NetApp solution:

• Simplifies backup tasks
• Streamlines recovery processes
• Enhances enterprise-wide data protection
• Ensures rapid data recovery in the event of a disaster
• Reduces infrastructure and operating costs

The NetApp data protection solution delivers the ultimate in data availability and security, while dramatically lowering the time and effort associated with backup and recovery. With disk- and replication-based backup, instead of tape-only backup (with NetApp, tape can be reserved for archival), recovery point objectives (RPOs) are hours, not days. Because information is online, the time to restore is better, recovery time objectives (RTOs) are reduced, and service-level agreements (SLAs) are met. Staff productivity increases, and costs associated with tape media and handling decrease.

Simplify Backup and Recovery;Ensure Robust Disaster Recovery
The NetApp data protection solution enables you to:

• Protect and easily restore all your data by backing it up automatically to a highly reliable, rapid-access storage system.
• Use a simple, automated backup process to back up data every hour with minimal administration, ensuring the most recent data is secure and available for a restore in case of a disaster.
• Store only changed data, which means backups are simpler, smaller, and faster; and you can retain more of
them online—up to 250—ensuring that you always have weeks or months of backups online for faster restoration.
• Recover rapidly, because NetApp technology gives you a replica of your data as up to date as you choose—fully
synchronous or with a delay of minutes, hours, or days. When a failure occurs, you simply go back to the most
recent copy of your data and quickly resume business.
• Lower TCO and increase ROI, because NetApp disaster recovery solutions are easy to implement and operate, with
minimal demand on your IT organization and network administration resources. A NetApp solution integrates
smoothly into your existing infrastructure and can be operational almost immediately—without changing the
way your network or business works.
• Increase reliability with NetApp solutions, which are sophisticated and powerful, yet straightforward, logical,
and reliable. Built-in reliability means virtually no downtime and 24x7 access to mission-critical data for employees,
customers, and partners.
• Confidently restore from unplanned outages, while offering the highest availability and requiring minimal
administration, significantly reducing the network downtime typically caused by routine maintenance.

Two Solution Modules for Comprehensive Protection

In order to meet a variety of customer requirements around RPOs, RTOs, and SLAs, the NetApp data protection
solution includes an online backup and recovery module as well as a disaster recovery module.

Online Backup and Recovery

Focused on meeting enterprise-wide data protection needs, the NetApp online backup and recovery solution
includes:

• SnapVault™ backup software for automated, heterogeneous, changed data backup
• DataFabric® Manager software to manage data backup and recovery within a heterogeneous, dispersed environment
from a single administrative console
• SnapMirror® replication software for the highest possible data access and fastest recovery for mission-critical
Applications

Disaster Recovery

Targeted to meet site-specific data protection needs and minimize downtime associated with catastrophic events, the NetApp disaster recovery solution includes:

• Snapshot™ technology, which enables near-instantaneous, transparent, online backups by storing multiple read-only
  versions of each data volume
  • SnapRestore® restoration software for quickly reinstating individual files or a file system to a predetermined earlier
  state in time
  • SnapManager® to uniformly manage and administer customized Snapshot processes for restore and recovery
  needs
  • MetroCluster to extend failover capability from within a data center to a remote location and to replicate data
  from a primary to a remote site
  • Virtual File Manager™ (VFM) failover to fail over clients to secondary devices/ locations almost instantaneously during
  a disaster, and VFM™ replication to provide centralized replication and policy- driven replication management for the distributed enterprise
  • MultiStore™ combined with SnapMirror to offer enhanced disaster recovery by partitioning NetApp systems to facilitate
  server consolidation, resource partitioning, and simplified data movement and migration
  • SyncMirror™ software to create a second copy of data that is always up-to-date and accessible
  • NearStore®, a disk-based nearline storage system that combines the award-winning NetApp Data ONTAP™
  operating system with an array of ATA-based disk drives
  • Fabric Attached Storage (FAS) servers that support both Ethernet and Fibre Channel environments, enabling NAS and iSCSI SAN deployments as well as Fibre Channel SAN solutions
