De nieuwe Syncsort Data Protection 4.0 richt zich op gevirtualiseerde en cloud-infrastructeren en telt vele nieuwe mogelijkheden.Het persbericht in het Engels:
Syncsort, a global leader in data integration acceleration and data protection software solutions, today announced Syncsort Data Protection 4.0, a key component of the NetApp® Syncsort Integrated Backup (NSB) solution. As organizations increasingly turn to virtualization and cloud computing to gain greater efficiency, flexibility and cost savings, they face new challenges in consistently completing backups of growing data volumes within compressed timeframes. Enhancements to NSB simplify the architecture, remove overhead and accelerate backup and recovery operations to meet new requirements of organizations as they move to cloud and virtualized environments.
NSB is a fast, efficient and easy-to-use data protection solution for physical and virtual servers running in multi-vendor storage environments. With the new enhancements to Syncsort’s data protection software, NSB further expands its value proposition to provide cloud-based data protection, enabling customers to meet shorter backup windows and recovery point objectives at a significantly lower total cost of ownership. Based on proven hardware and software technology from Syncsort and NetApp, the NSB solution has gained strong customer and channel partner adoption since it was formally introduced to the market a year ago at VMworld 2010.
Enhanced Protection and Recovery for Cloud Investments
• Efforts to consolidate and virtualize IT infrastructures can increase the amount of data requiring protection and put a strain on traditional backup methods. This can result in extended backup windows, failure to complete backups and higher risk to the business.
• Syncsort Data Protection 4.0, which will be generally available within 90 days as part of the NSB solution, helps establish a new standard in meeting today’s strict requirements for reliable, fast and cost-effective data protection.
• The new technology enhancements and innovations that Syncsort Data Protection 4.0 bring to NSB makes it an optimal data protection and recovery solution for both private cloud investments and service provider deployments of cloud services. By storing all backups in native format and through its robust integration with VMware, NSB is able to recover entire applications in virtual and cloud environments in less than 10 minutes.
• Fast recovery is particularly critical in remote site scenarios. With its Instant Virtualization technology, NSB is able to bring any remote site backup image online as a VM within minutes. Critical services are restored to end users while data recovery occurs in the background.
• NSB offers flexibility and easily scales to match the needs of rapidly growing virtual and cloud infrastructures. Customers get the protection and recovery they need for their IT investments while also helping to keep costs under control.
• Data protection with NSB extends to disaster recovery, leveraging the value of a single management console, and utilizing the speed and efficiency of replicated snapshots.
News Fact Details
• Syncsort’s data protection software supports ‘near zero’ impact, non-disruptive backup and recovery of VMware virtual machines by eliminating the need to install backup clients in the guest operating system, and uses VMware vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) to track changed blocks for greater efficiency and reduced costs.
• The combination of VMware Agentless Backup support and patented Instant Virtualization™ and Instant Access capabilities in Syncsort’s data protection software delivers the unique, unmatched restore functionality in NSB. Specific restore types in the solution include:
o Rapid Virtual Machine Restore – by leveraging NetApp SnapshotTM copy technology, a VM can be restored in minutes. Optionally, a new VM data file can be created in the background while the VM is running, allowing for a full restore without additional downtime.
o Restoring VMDK Files – similar to restoring a virtual machine, this method uses NetApp Snapshot copies to restore one or more selected VMDK files in only minutes, providing rapid disk-level restore of data.
o Rapid File Browsing – restore method uses the solution’s Instant Access capability to map a single VMDK to any other node with a Syncsort agent for easy browsing of the guest file system.
• Virtual-to-physical (V2P) data restore uses NetApp Snapshot copies to connect physical systems to VMDK images, allowing users to share data anywhere within their organization without regard to virtual and physical boundaries.
• The new version of Syncsort’s data protection software can be installed in a virtual machine (VM) to run ‘application-aware’ backup and granular recovery for VMs running Microsoft SharePoint, Exchange and SQL Server, in addition to the advantages of VMware Agentless Backup.
• A new, highly intuitive graphical user interface builds upon an existing strength to further extend ease-of-use advantage over competing products.
• Support is also included for VMware vSphere® 5, allowing NSB users to leverage the latest release of VMware’s comprehensive suite of cloud infrastructure technologies.
