Backup Servers: Improving Their Performance and Efficiency

Backup Server Efficiency: 

In recent backup server tests with Alacritech Accelerators versus conventional NICs, Alacritech provided overall backup efficiencies including:

Backup through server performance improvements of 30% substantial reduction of server backup times and release of CPU resources for other tasks

Backup Server Efficiency - Improving Their Performance:

Customers are increasingly constrained by large transfers of data, long backup times to storage devices, and less backup efficient use of its server resources. System and database availability is heavily impacted during backup periods, and with the rapid growth of storage and the need to archive customer data, IT managers are actively seeking solutions for their backup problems.

Backup Server Efficiency Solution:

A comparison of the data shows Alacritech with a 30% increase in overall backup server efficiency with industry standard software and high performance tape devices. Backup server environments with more efficient data sets can increase their overall backup performance even more. Results from Computer Associates BrightStor Enterprise, VERITAS NetBackup, CommVault Galaxy and Legato NetWorker also show similar increases in backup performance. With additional system performance tuning and configuration changes, even greater throughput and efficiencies could be achieved.

Today's growing IT departments are constantly bombarded with new challenges in server growth and backup efficiency, storage management and data migration. Data center resources are focused on the challenge of moving data to users that need it now. This increased emphasis in data management has led CIOs, CTOs and other IT executives to look for network technologies for their servers that help them solve this increasingly difficult problem.

Alacritech is the pioneer in providing reliable and efficient data backup movement technologies for network acceleration TCP/IP today. Servers starved for network processing power and a need for better application performance should look no further Offload than the TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) capabilities provided by Alacritech Server and Storage Accelerators. This breakthrough technology has provided thousands of customers with efficient, high performance network interfaces that focus on an IT department's need for better flow of data from the network to servers to storage and back.

The power behind Alacritech's backup Server efficiency design is SLIC Technology, a revolutionary way of taking network data and accelerating it through servers. This solution gives servers the freedom to focus less resources on network data transfers and more on doing the job the server was really designed to do. Customers can replace their current server NICs with Alacritech Accelerators and see an immediate benefit in both (Backup Server Efficiency) and response time. SLIC Technology provides higher levels of network throughput, better application performance and a maximum return on investment (ROI) with servers in production today.

Fast, reliable and efficient data backup is just one of the many challenges faced every day in the data center. Alacritech solves the disaster recovery backup obstacles that face IT managers while offering faster network throughput and lower system overhead.
