Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS)
. .
. .
. .
Exponential growth of information has led to an enormous volume of data stored across enterprise networks. IT
. .
. .
organizations are finding that backing up and restoring data is becoming more and more challenging. Compaq
. .
customers using Microsoft Windows NT/2000, Novell NetWare, Compaq Tru64 UNIX or Sun Solaris™ servers need a
. .
. .
scalable, high-performance solution to meet their present and future data storage backup and restoration
. .
. .
requirements. The Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) provides a unique solution to the backup
. .
dilemma by providing a consolidated backup of multiple servers over a high speed, independent Fibre Channel
. .
. .
storage network to centrally attached SCSI tape libraries.
. .
. .
. .
Compaq understands that customers have a variety of product and solution needs based on price, performance, total
. .
. .
cost of ownership, lower management costs, future scalability, and investment protection. To that end, Compaq has
. .
. . segmented EBS to fit various market segments. The Compaq StorageWorks EBS family segmentation will help
. .
provide customers with a quick understanding of which EBS solution is right for their needs.
. .
. .
. . EBS for Workgroups
. .
. .
EBS for Workgroups is an entry level, Fibre Channel data protection solution for up to seven Compaq ProLiant or x86
. .
. .
servers in Windows NT/2000 and NetWare environments. EBS for Workgroups provides the option of configuring a
. .
. . backup solution with either a Fibre Channel hub, or a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop switch.
. .
. .
. .
Using an FC arbitrated loop switch, is support of the RA4100 SAN which allows AIT or DLT libraries to be
. .
. . consolidated with disk products on the same Storage Area Network (SAN).
. .
. .
. .
Using Fibre Channel hubs, EBS for Workgroups provides cost-effective solution bundles, EBS ARCPaq with
. .
. . Computer Associates ARCserve™ or EBS BackPaq with VERITAS Backup Exec™, at a fraction of the cost of the
. .
existing investment.
. .
. .
. .
EBS for Departments
. .
. .
EBS for Departments is a data protection solution that helps shrink backup windows and reduce management costs
. .
. .
for customers with 6 to 20 ProLiant or x86 servers in Windows NT/2000 and NetWare environments. With EBS for
. .
. . Departments customers may employ single or cascaded 12-port fibre channel hubs to consolidate backup to a
. .
centralized library, or they may look to consolidate tape and disk resources on a fabric switch-based Storage Area
. .
. .
Network (SAN) with the new low-cost StorageWorks Fibre Channel Switch EL-8.
. .
. .
. .
. .
Providing the backbone for a full fabric switched SAN for Windows NT, Windows 2000 and/or NetWare environments,
. .
. . EBS SANPaq includes the FC SAN Switch 8-EL, the Modular Data Router, and 5 licenses of backup software with
. .
SAN-enabling options. Part of the EBS for Departments product segment, SANPaq with Computer Associates
. .
. .
ARCserve and SANPaq with VERITAS Backup Exec are perfect for storage resellers who want an off-the-shelf
. .
. . solution to begin deploying SANs. SANPaq allows resellers to provide added consulting services and take advantage
. .
of software option and upgrade sales without the pricing barriers normally associated with SANs.
. .
. .
. . EBS for Data Centers
. .
. .
The Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) for Data Centers is a Fibre Channel backup and
. .
. .
restore solution targeted towards those customers looking to consolidate their data protection schemes across multi-
. .
. . vendor platforms and heterogeneous operating systems. The solution leverages the Compaq Fibre Channel 8 or 16
. .
port FC switch and offers a customer the first Compaq SAN solution - marrying disk and tape in the same Fibre
. .
. .
Channel domain.
. .
. .
. .
. .
The Enterprise Backup Solution for Data Centers allows multiple Windows NT/2000, Tru64 Unix, and Sun Solaris
. .
. . servers, attached to a Fibre Channel switch, to share a SCSI DLT or AIT Library. In addition to this device-sharing
. .
feature, servers maintain the ability to transfer data directly to the attached tape devices and will therefore continue to
. .
. .
experience the high data transfer rates needed to keep DLT or AIT drives streaming during backup or restore - a key
. .
. . to maximum performance.
