Enterprise Backup & Recovery

As data volumes rise, backup solutions that were designed for departmental computing are becoming increasingly unreliable and difficult to manage.

Traditional approaches to backup and restore are often heavily reliant on manual administration. Each application or file server may have its own dedicated tape drive or backups may be streamed over the local area network to multiple tape drives. Organisations often employ the 'grandfather, father, son' methodology to maintain a longer-term archive alongside daily backups, creating more manual work and greater complexity

For many organisations, the rise in data volumes means that backup routines are taking more time than originally planned. In some cases the backup is in danger of impacting business operations.

Typical Issues with legacy backup solutions
Slow and unreliable restores Increasing time spent on administration High tape drive and media usage Platform dependency Long backup windows High bandwidth usage Poor disaster recovery planning

By employing a best-practice approach to enterprise backup & recovery and selecting software that uses a relational database to manage incremental and disk-based backups, organisations can dramatically reduce their operational costs while increasing reliability and performance

"The Tectrade and Tivoli solution has given us an enterprise-class backup and recovery solution that offers low long-term cost of ownership. The consolidated backup infrastructure is producing significant savings in time and administrative effort and can easily be scaled to meet our growing data storage requirements"
