Backup Optimization Solutions

Minimize Backup Windows & Reduce Recovery Times

Our extensive experience with networked storage solutions can help you leverage industry-proven “best practices” to develop a cost-effective solution that provides fast backup and immediate recovery times. Our solutions allow you to consolidate block-level and file-level backup processes with a centralized management console, to reduce administrative costs.

• Email Archiving - Manage the lifecycles of Exchange & Lotus messaging stores while maintaining a universal content index with powerful search capabilities
• De-duplication - Reduce total data size and simplify storage by reducing redundant copies of data at the file and block level
• Regulatory Compliance - Enable long-term archival to meet business requirement with technology such as WORM
• eDiscovery - Respond to requests for electronic evidence quickly & cost-effectively
• Online Backup - Protect data without disrupting operations

The Challenges

• costs are increasing as the amount of data that must be backed up increases
• backup windows are shrinking as data must be increasingly available
• transactional integrity and point-in-time consistency must be maintained to ensure accuracy
• management is becoming difficult as more and more IT resources must be used to maintain and support increasingly complex backup processes
• budget constraints reduce the amount of resources available for data backup
• tolerance for any amount of downtime is decreasing as businesses continue to operate close to 24x7x365

The Gartner Group reports that 40 to 50% of all backups are not recoverable in full, and that 60% of all backups fail in general. Ensure fast, reliable, automated backups and fast recovery times, with a solution from North American Systems.

The Solution

North American Systems extensive experience with networked storage
solutions can help you leverage industry-proven “best practices” to develop a cost-effective solution that provides fast backup and immediate recovery times. Our solutions allow you to consolidate block-level and file-level backup processes with a centralized management console, to reduce administrative costs. Our backup optimization solutions:

• reduce costs by eliminating the need to buy additional software for every backup or replication
• do away with other costs, such as push agents, file open agents, backup software agents or SAN options for your tape backup solution
• consolidate backup processes across multiple operating systems
• eliminate backup windows, allowing you to replicate multiple times throughout the day with no downtime
• don’t add loads onto your production LANs or applications servers with backup processes
• drastically reduce downtime with near-instant recovery of file- and block-level data

VTL

Many IT infrastructures see new, inexpensive disk arrays as a way to speed backup & recovery times while avoiding the fail rates prevalent in some tape systems. While utilizing SATA and SAS as a new backup medium may be a cost-effective solutions, many businesses cannot afford to migrate software and entire backup processes. FalconStor’s VTL solution is a great solution that eliminates the disruption of existing backup software and processes, allowing you to seamlessly integrate D2D backup into your existing backup procedures.

Backup Acceleration for Tape

Tape backup acceleration and optimization solutions leverages your existing technology and investments to enable fast, window-less tape backups that can ensure transactional and point-in-time integrity of your mission-critical databases & files.

Backup Acceleration for Disk

With the cost of low-cost disk systems continuing to plummet, many businesses are taking advantage of the reliability, speed, & availability advantages of disc-based backups. With FalconStor, you can dramatically increase the speed of your backups with a cost-effective solutions that offloads your backup processes off of LANs and application servers.

Utilize Existing Architecture

Consolidate backup processes across your existing backup software. In addition to dramatically speeding up your backup processes, it offloads these processes to your storage server, eliminating backup windows, and also reduces the amount of backup software licenses required.

Consolidate & Simplify

Our solution that bring all backup processes onto a unified platform. Create full, incremental, or differential block-level backups from a centralized GUI, consolidating and simplifying you entire backup procedures.
