EMC Insignia Solution for Data Protection enables small and medium businesses (SMBs) to achieve fast, reliable, easy-to-manage data protection for all computers. It is ideal for SMBs that need fast backups and rapid restores without straining limited IT resources.
EMC Insignia Solution for Data Protection combines the speed and reliability of the new EMC
CLARiiON AX150 disk storage array with the performance and convenience of EMC Retrospect 7.5 for Windows backup and recovery software.
EMC Insignia Solution for Data Protection enables SMBs to:
- Provide easy-to-manage, highly reliable protection for all computers Capitalize on the performance of disk and portability of tape Backup faster and restore faster Keep applications online and users productive
- Use government-certified encryption to prevent unauthorized access to backup data
The solution is available in Fibre Channel or iSCSI configurations and includes the following components: EMC CLARiiON AX150 single controller (iSCSI or Fibre Channel) with six 500-GB SATA II drives EMC Retrospect 7.5 for Windows Multi Server Edition EMC Retrospect 7.5 for Windows Open File Backup Unlimited add-on EMC Retrospect 7.5 for Windows User Initiated Restore add-on One year 9x5 annual support and maintenance for all software and hardware
Retrospect 7.5 for Windows protects data on networked desktops, notebooks, and file servers running Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris, and NetWare operating systems, as well as business-critical applications. It quickly streams the backup data to the CLARiiON AX150, which delivers cost-effective, high-capacity disk storage. For archival and disaster recovery purposes, Retrospect later transfers data from the AX150 to tapes for long-term offsite storage.
EMC Insignia Solution for Data Protection includes EMC Retrospect 7.5 for Windows Multi Server Edition, which supports up to 300 desktops and notebooks or up to 15 servers (or a combination thereof); Retrospect?s User Initiated Restore and Open File Backup Unlimited add-ons; and a CLARiiON AX150 single-controller networked storage system with 3 TB of storage capacity (scalable to 6 TB), and one year of EMC?s world-class technical support, which includes upgrades to new releases of included software components at no additional cost. The solution supports a wide variety of tape devices.
Retrospect performs backups with minimal manual intervention. Retrospect?s patented technology automates many common backup tasks and adjusts backup operations automatically on an ongoing basis to compensate for changing network situations. If computers are ever inaccessible during a backup session or not fully protected due to an interruption in backup operations, Retrospect automatically assigns them a high priority at the next session. This is especially useful when protecting notebooks and desktops, which typically contain up to 80 percent of a business?s cr itical information, but which are not always connected to the network during scheduled backup periods. Retrospect eliminates the need to write custom backup scripts to ensure all computers are regularly and reliably protected.
Retrospect?s backup-to-disk features utilize the spee d and efficiency of the CLARiiON AX150 networked storage system to protect the optimum amount of data in the shortest time. The AX150 combines the advanced functionality and data protection features of CLARiiON?s industry-leading RAID array architecture with high-capacity Serial Advanced Technology-Attached II (SATA II) disk drives, delivering up to 6TB of capacity in a compact 2U rack-mountable enclosure. The Retrospect Open File Backup Unlimited add-on allows for backups of all files that are open and in use.
Achieve rapid restores by storing your most recent backup data?for example the last 30 days of backups?on the AX150 storage array, enabling you to recover data at the speed of disk. There?s no need to locate, load, and unload tapes to perform your most common restores. Retrospect?s User Initiated Restore capability enables Windows, Mac OS, and Linux users to restore their files via a Web browser without burdening IT personnel. And Retrospect?s automated data grooming can automatically delete older backup data that has been moved to tape, allowing the AX150 to be self-maintaining and always ensure sufficient backup capacity.
