SnapLock:
– Write-protects structured application data files within a volume to provide Write Once
Read Many (WORM) disk storage.
– Provides storage, which enables compliance with government records retention
regulations.
SnapManager:
– Provides host-based data management of N series storage for databases and
business applications.
– Simplifies application-consistent Snapshot copies, automates error-free data restores,
and enables application-aware disaster recovery.
SnapMirror:
– Enables automatic, incremental data replication between synchronous or
asynchronous systems.
– Provides flexible, efficient site-to-site mirroring for disaster recovery and data
distribution.
SnapRestore:
– Restores single files, directories, or entire LUNs and volumes rapidly, from any
Snapshot backup.
– Enables near-instant recovery of files, databases, and complete volumes.
Snapshot:
– Makes incremental, data-in-place, point-in-time copies of a LUN or volume with
minimal performance effect.
– Enables frequent, nondisruptive, space-efficient, and quickly restorable backups.
SnapVault:
– Exports Snapshot copies to another N series system, which provides an incremental
block-level backup solution.
– Enables cost-effective, long-term retention of rapidly restorable disk-based backups.
Storage Encryption
Provides support for Full Disk Encryption (FDE) drives in N series disk shelf storage and
integration with License Key Managers, including IBM Tivoli® Key Lifecycle Manager.
SyncMirror:
– Maintains two online copies of data with RAID-DP protection on each side of the mirror.
– Protects against all types of hardware outages, including triple disk failure.
Gateway
Reduce data management complexity in heterogeneous storage environments for data
protection and retention.
Software bundles:
– Provides flexibility to use breakthrough capabilities while maximizing value with a
considerable discount.
– Simplifies ordering of combinations of software features: Windows Bundle, Complete
Bundle, and Virtual Bundle.
