Back Up to Disk
Disk is playing a more and more important role in organisations’ backup strategies, as traditional tape based infrastructures struggle with the backup and recovery windows required by today’s IT environments.
Pillar’s backup to disk technologies and services can help you deploy disk-based backup technology in a sensible way, to deliver maximum efficiency and performance improvement.
The combination of the Pillar Axiom storage platform and the AxiomONE software allows you to easily utilise available capacity within the system as a target for backup to disk and archiving.
The AxiomONE Dynamic Performance Manager allows the storage to be tuned for that task without taking away valuable performance from critical applications.
| Pillar Backup Assurance and Utilisation Audit |
The Backup Assurance and Utilisation Audit is designed to help organisations improve efficiency and reduce costs in their existing backup environment.
Our professional services consultants set up a workshop to understand your current backup infrastructure then install our discovery tool for a pre-defined period to gather meta data about backup patterns, performance, drive utilisation etc.
This data is taken away and a full report is compiled giving a complete insight into backup patterns across all clients and making recommendations to improve utilisation of existing infrastructure and reduce costs. |
| AxiomONE Virtual Tape Library |
Tape as a backup media is known to be unreliable and prone to failures but moving from a tape to disk-based environment can be a huge effort involving a large amount of work.
One answer is to use disk but present it as virtual tapes and tape drives. This allows you to make the transition from tape to disk but still present it in a way that represents your existing infrastructure.
This approach gives you all the benefits of disk, while minimising the hassle involved in the transition. |
| AxiomONE Continuous Data Protection |
For applications where you want to eliminate data loss and have the ability to recovery to almost any point-in-time, AxiomONE Continuous Data Protection can help.
By making a copy of every write you can rewind your data to any point in time to recover from accidental deletions, corrupt files and other errors or problems. |
