What is a Business Continuity Appliance?

The STORServer Business Continuity Appliance is the most complete recovery solution available today in lifecycle management offerings for your enterprise. The four major areas of data recovery include:

Backup and Restore
Archive and Retrieve
Disaster Recovery copies of your backups and archives off-site with a Disaster Recovery Plan for full recovery of your datacenter, or individual servers.
Compliance regulatory compliance for HIPPA, DOD, SOX, etc.

Today, the STORServer Business Continuity Appliance supplies everything you need to meet your business requirements around these four recovery areas.

The STORServer replaces the old-fashioned way to buy a backup, archive and disaster recovery solution. Typically, you buy a solution in pieces and parts, or the 5-legged stool. The STORServer appliance is an easy-to-use, single operator interface, integration of matched and certified hardware, software, installation/configuration, warranty all with a single contact of support.

The STORServer Business Continuity Appliance, a turn-key solution, provides:

D2D2T (Disk to Disk to Tape) or D2D2X (where X is either TAPE, CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, WORM, etc.)
True On-line Backup with Online Restore
Automated Archiving
Disaster Recovery copies of both backups and archives for off-site
Storage Pool Technology

eliminates backed up data sitting hostage on a specific storage media
in addition this means you can seamlessly move from one storage medium to another without worrying about redesigning your backup solution every 15 months.

Conventional Backup Software	STORServer Backup Appliance Technology
Copies the same files over and over. Inefficient use of media resources, and a burden to the network.	Captures only files that change, and keeps expired data based on data retention, according to how many versions you want.
Only creates end-of-day & end-of-week state copies. These are not online backup.	Make backup copies at any time, scheduled or on-demand.
“Backup” is, by definition, not available once data is removed from the library. The backups are checked out as DR Tapes.	A true Full Backup recoverable by the last number of days (45 days) is always On-Line.
Tape management is a manually tracked activity. Often a nightmare.	Tape management is managed automatically with a relational database.
Backups go to tape first and are slow – resulting in missed backup windows.	Backups go first to a disk cache, then migrate to a portable media pool -- disk, tape, or optical.
Backups are sequential and are dependent upon all servers completing successfully.	Backups are multi-threaded and independent of each other, ensuring effective backup operations.
