NetApp SnapProtect

The Netapp company filled up in May, 2011 the solution portfolio for the integrated data protection with managing software of Netapp SnapProtect which integrates technologies of instant copying Snapshot and replications of data from NetApp in the single solution designed to help the organizations to increase the speed and efficiency of backup operations and data recovery.

SnapProtect basic component is the solution Simpana for the organization of network backup (development of CommVault company) that became possible thanks to cooperation increase of Netapp with CommVault by the conclusion of the global OEM agreement. Integration of technologies of Netapp with CommVault Simpana 9 provides to clients of Netapp an ability to manage with instant pictures and replication in the environment of Simpana. Such approach to data protection facilitates to clients management of terabytes and even petabytes of data, claim in NetApp.

As you know, for maximum efficiency of instant pictures of data many solutions of backup require start of separate monitor processes or writing of large and detailed volumes of a program code. Thanks to a unified managing environment the solution SnapProtect eliminates need of parallel process control of creation of instant pictures and backup that, according to developers, allows to increase the companies high-speed performance and efficiency of instant pictures.

Software of SnapProtect integrates in one solution functionality of instant copying of Netapp and replication of data from a disk on a disk and traditional process of tape backup. Creation of instant pictures, replication and data transfer on the tape drive are controlled with the help of the single console that allows clients to react to failures quicker. The unified directory allows to monitor backup on disks and tape drives, optimizing transactions of search and data recovery. At the same time, NetApp SnapProtect uses advanced technologies of data storage thanks to what the solution is capable to reduce use of disk space on the main and reserve systems by 90%, developers claim.

SnapProtect is closely integrated with solutions of virtualization, DBMS, applications for joint work and message exchange, accelerating, thus, process of backup and providing a possibility of "point" data recovery for separate applications.

Besides, each solution of Netapp has access to a wide range of opportunities of increase in data availability, their disaster recovery, ensuring compliance to standards and archiving offered in a solution portfolio for the integrated data protection of Netapp. In turn, it allows clients to lower costs and to simplify procedures of data protection, emphasized in the company.

Software of SnapProtect is one of several solutions which are a part of strategy of Netapp on speeding up and simplification of backup and data recovery due to integration of solutions of instant pictures and replication from NetApp with software for management of backup copies from technology partners of the company.
