Backup for "Road Warriors"
Today's business "road warriors" succeed or fail based on the
information they carry in their portable computers. A stolen or
damaged laptop, or a lost file, can mean failure if the data is not
backed up. Connected Corporation offers a solution: intelligent,
hands-off, online data protection and real-time recovery for
Windows-based PCs.
Every day, thousands of Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, and
Windows 98 computers automatically link to Connected's Secure
Data Centers via any IP connection. Before data leaves a user's PC,
it is encrypted and compressed. It is then transmitted to a
Connected Secure Data Center where the data is written to RAID
systems and copied to a second, physically separate, mirrored, and
secure data center. Both data centers are state-of-the-art facilities,
employing multiple levels of data redundancy and fault-tolerant
operations. Both locations use Compaq ProLiant systems running
under Windows NT. With such a heavy daily volume, it's impor-
tant to keep the RAID disks from filling up, so Connected's propri-
etary Hierarchical Storage Management system transfers data to
one of eight DLTtape drives. Installed in libraries with automatic
cartridge loaders, these units can handle many terabytes of data.
Remote Backup for Medical Information
MeritCare Health System operates 37 healthcare facilities scattered
across hundreds of miles on the Great Plains of Minnesota and
North Dakota. For many of these sites, which are remote in every
sense of the word, their computer network is literally a lifeline to
critical health information stored at the system's headquarters in
Fargo, North Dakota – everything from payment records to X rays.
A vital strand in the information lifeline is a network-wide remote
backup and retrieval system that runs over high-speed telephone
lines linking remote sites to DLTtape drives at the central site.
