EMC Corporation introduces an easy and cost-effective way for customers to integrate data de-duplication and continuous data protection (CDP) technologies into their existing backup and recovery environments. By combining these new capabilities with the long-established backup and recovery functionality of EMC NetWorker, customers can realize the highest levels of flexibility, management and cost control over their data protection operations, while protecting their overall investments in these technologies.
Mike Fisch, analyst for The Clipper Group, technology acquisition consultants based in Wellesley, Mass., said, “There is substantial value in EMC's integration of EMC NetWorker with next-generation data protection technologies like de-duplication and continuous data protection.
Enterprises are looking for every way to improve service level agreements while reducing the complexity, costs, and risks of managing a backup infrastructure. EMC's dedication to innovation is helping bring more stability, control and ease of use to traditional backup customers and their evolving data protection environments.”
EMC NetWorker Now With Support for Data De-Duplication and Continuous Data Protection
With the integration of data de-duplication from EMC Avamar and continuous data protection from EMC RecoverPoint™, EMC continues to build on the NetWorker core infrastructure and provide customers with advanced, next-generation capabilities for backup and recovery. While customers can still purchase Avamar and RecoverPoint independently, EMC NetWorker customers can now drive greater ease of use and meet the challenge of simplifying administration by centralizing control and management of new data protection applications, in addition to those existing protection policies already in place.
EMC Expands Backup, Recovery and Archiving Portfolio
EMC today also introduced new platform capabilities and updated software as part of its comprehensive portfolio of next-generation backup, recovery and archive solutions. The EMC Disk Library DL4000, an open systems virtual tape library, now supports RAID 6 protection for improved availability and new 1 terabyte (TB) disk drives that provide 30% more capacity and improve the overall economics of online backup by further lowering the cost per gigabyte of storage. In addition to the EMC Disk Library, the EMC CLARiiON® CX series of networked storage systems and EMC Celerra® IP storage systems also now support the 1 TB disk drives to further help customers with backup-to-disk implementations. Finally, the latest version of EMC Backup Advisor software features expanded application and host platform support to simplify the analysis and reporting of the entire backup environment.
