Problems to Solve …

Backup• Decreasing:

– Backup window

– Restore window

– IT resources

• Increasing:– Regulatory issues

– Storage reqmts

– Geographically Dispersed data

– Off-site tape storage costs

– Security concerns

Recovery• Ease of Implementation

– Require testing

• Flexibility:– Support all phases of

Recovery (BC, DR, Long Term)

– Support for differing RPO/RTO’s based on individual applications

• Full Featured– Support for single server

failures, multiple servers and entire site

Problems Solved …

BackupNet• Support for Multiple

OS’s, DB’s, Applications• Block-level Delta Backup• Agentless technology• LAN-speed Restores

(Local Storage)• Remote Office backups,

centrally controlled• CDP for file/mail servers• Restore to Dissimilar HW

(P2V, V2P, V2V, P2P)

RecoverNet• Turnkey Disaster

Recovery• Turnkey Business

Continuity• Supports single-server

failures• Supports Site Failures• Simple Testing • Selectable options based

on RTO/RPO by appl.
