Storage Services
|
|
|
|
IPSTOR BUSINESS CONTINUITY SERVICES
|
|
|
|
Active-Active Failover Option
|
|
|
Delivers high data availability. Automatic failover configuration uses two IPStor appliances that can monitor each others health. Should one IPStor appliance fail, the other automatically assumes the workload without operator intervention. Complements IPStor softwares end-to-end support for nosingle-point-of-failure architectures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synchronous Mirroring Option
|
|
|
Protects against the consequences of storage device/channel failure. Mirroring of drives can be done within and across cabinets for superior fault tolerance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Asynchronous Mirroring Option
|
|
|
Provides fault-tolerance for storage volumes over long distances between data centers in near realtime.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TimeMark® Option
|
|
|
Provides granular instant roll-back via disk-based journaling to safeguard against soft errors (deletion, corruption, virus...).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Continuous Data Replication(CDR Option + TimeMark Option)
|
|
|
Facilitates nearline data storage for enhanced availability. By continuously replicating data to nearline disk, data is protected and can be rapidly and granularly recovered to a usable point in time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Snapshot Agents
|
|
|
Minimize quiesce time during backups and other snapshot-based operations (TimeMark, Replication, Snapshot Copy, etc.) and ensure transactional integrity/consistency of databases/messaging stores for fast time-to-recovery. Available for IBM® DB2® UDB, Informix®, Microsoft® SQL Server, Oracle®, Pervasive.SQL®, Sybase®, IBM Lotus Notes®/Domino, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft VSS, Novell® GroupWise®, and many file systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Backup & BareMetal Recovery Option
|
|
|
Expedites system recovery after boot disk failure of an application server, laptop, desktop, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DynaPath® Agent
|
|
|
Performs Fibre Channel and/or iSCSI HBA transparent failover and fail-back services for the application server it is running. Maintains availability via intelligent re-routing of data if an I/O path between storage and the application server fails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
MultiPathing Option
|
|
|
Ensures availability of data on FC-attached storage, transparently rerouting traffic to a redundant storage path in the event of a storage path failure between the IPStor appliance and the storage pools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NIC Express
|
|
|
Extends the scope of redundancy beyond the SAN, all the way to the edges of the networkto any server or workstation on which it is running. Leverages multiple Network Interface Cards (NICs) to ensure continuous access to storage resources offered by the IPStor appliance over the IP network.
|
|
|
|
|
|
IP Trunking Option
|
|
|
Allows an IPStor appliance to distribute TCP traffic (e.g., iSCSI, NFS, CIFS) across multiple NICs in order to achieve optimal performance. Also, data traffic is automatically re-routed to other NICs in the group whenever a fault is detected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Message Recovery for Exchange
|
|
|
Automates and expedites mailbox and message recovery, maximizing availability and performance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
RealTime Virus Scanning for NAS
|
|
|
Provides realtime protection for NAS shares from becoming infiltrated and contaminated by viruses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IPSTOR STORAGE CONSOLIDATION SERVICES
|
|
|
|
Capacity-On-Demand™ Option
|
|
|
Eliminates space outages through automatic, policy-based storage provisioning, migration, and compression.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Storage Service Enabler Option
|
|
|
Enables existing disks to be immediately incorporated into an IPStor-managed SAN to take advantage of the full suite of IPStor storage services without changing original disk partitions/ volumes and without any data conversion or migration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synchronous Mirroring Option
|
|
|
Mirror > Swap > Remove Mirror functionality facilitates fast, safe data migration without downtime.
|
|
|
|
|
|
BootIP™ for Blade Servers Option
|
|
|
Delivers innovative boot over IP services for Windows- and Linux-based blade servers for centralized storage management and rapid system upgrade and recovery to maximize business continuity and return on investment.

|
|
IPSTOR BACKUP CONSOLIDATION & ACCELERATION SERVICES
|
|
|
|
HyperTrac™ Backup Solution (HyperTrac Backup Accelerator Agent + TimeMark Option)
|
|
|
Up to 5x faster file-by-file or block-level tape backup (full, incremental, differential) and rapid restore using your existing backup software/server/policies while offloading backup processes from production servers and LAN for windowless backup of live data. Minimizes number of backup licenses, with no need to purchase and manage expensive push agents, open file agents, backup software agents, SAN options, etc. minimizing TCO and simplifying management.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ZeroImpact™ Backup Solution (ZeroImpact Backup Enabler Option + TimeMark Option)
|
|
|
Up to 5x faster block-level tape backup (full, incremental, differential) and rapid restore, with standard third-party backup software running on the IPStor appliance. Centralizes backup management while offloading backup processes from production servers and LAN for windowless backup of live data. TCO is minimized, management is simplified: need only one copy of tape backup software, with no need to purchase and manage expensive push agents, open file agents, backup software agents, SAN options, etc
|
|
|
|
|
|
Snapshot Copy Option
|
|
|
Facilitates on-demand creation of full, independent, point-in-time duplicates of a disk volume to serve as a backup for mission-critical data for purposes such as testing, data mining, etc.

|
|
|
|
|
VirtualTape Library (VTL) Solution
|
|
|
Emulates leading tape libraries, enabling third party backup software to transfer data to/from disk-based virtual tapes while maintaining existing backup policies. Also allows applications servers to replicate their entire local disks to storage managed by the VTL appliance. Delivers rapid data recovery; eliminates media/mechanical failure during backup/restore operations; facilitates windlowless backup of live data to disk; works with cost-effective disk, minimizing TCO.
