NetBackup Appliance: Symantec's Industry-leading backup and deduplication technology
Symantec Netbackup Appliance - 07/04/2011
Most IT organizations today are challenged with the problem of rapid data growth. International Data Corporation (IDC)1 studies predict data growth to be 50-60 percent per year. As enterprises continue to grow via mergers and acquisitions, data is no longer confined to a single data center, but is often spread across multiple data centers, remote offices and even virtual machine environments. Traditional backup products generally require a rotational schedule of full and incremental backups, which results in significant amount of data movement on a weekly basis. With the heavy
reliance on IT systems by businesses, IT managers can no longer rely on traditional backup approaches to reduce downtimes and deliver the stringent recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs) needed to ensure business continuity. A thorough reassessment of current data protection architecture, technologies, and processes must take place to drive the right solution.
The NetBackup appliances are scalable deduplication solutions that come prepackaged with Symantec NetBackup PureDisk™ deduplication software on Telco grade hardware certified by Symantec™. It provides customers with critical features required to protect their critical data – from remote office to virtual environment to the data center. With built-in global deduplication technology, NetBackup 5000 makes disk backups more cost efficient by eliminating the backup of
duplicate data across sites and servers thus addressing many of the problems associated with traditional backup
products.
