Mark Sorenson, senior vice president, information management software group, EMC, said, "By adding key features like data de-duplication across our portfolio, customers can eliminate redundant data, move more easily to disk backup, and strengthen the management of their backup infrastructures."
The EMC Disk Library 3D (DL3D) 1500 and 3000 are new backup-to-disk libraries with data de-duplication, targeted at midsize, LAN-based environments. The DL3D 1500 provides up to 36 TB of usable capacity, while the DL3D 3000 provides up to 148 TB of usable capacity. Both systems use 1 TB SATA disks with RAID 6 protection and include optional Fibre Channel ports for storage area network (SAN) connectivity.
EMC Disk Library (DL) 4000 series is targeted at environments that require the highest performance for larger SAN environments, says the company. The new policy-based data de-duplication option allows Disk Library 4000 customers to maintain performance service levels for backups. According to the company, the new disk drive spin down option for the DL 4000 series is free and enables customers to reduce their overall power and cooling costs in a typical environment by 19 per cent by putting idle drives in sleep mode. In addition, new and existing DL 4000 customers can take advantage of the new low power 5400 rpm 1 TB SATA drives which require 32 per cent less energy than 7,200 rpm drives. Combining both spin down with the low power drives in a new DL 4000 system will consume up to 47 per cent less energy.
EMC Avamar Data Store Gen 2 and EMC Avamar 4.0 -- the new versions of Avamar help customers shrink their backup requirements while reducing power and cooling costs per terabyte by up to 43 per cent compared to the first generation solution. The new Avamar Data Store Gen 2 consists of the new Avamar V4.0 source-based data de-duplication backup and recovery software running on EMC-certified hardware platform. A fully configured Avamar Data Store Gen 2 can provide enough capacity to store the equivalent of 1 Petabyte of non-de-duplicated, traditional backup capacity. Doubling the capacity per system helps customers use fewer systems, consequently driving smaller data center footprint and reducing overall total cost of ownership by up to 25 per cent over the previous generation of Avamar and by up to 75 per cent relative to tape.
In addition, the new Avamar software now supports 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and offers expanded client support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005; Microsoft Vista; Native Netware client backup and restore (Netware V6.5); and Novell Storage Servers (NSS) volumes on Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) SLES 10.
NetWorker Fast Start is an integrated, packaged offering designed to simplify licensing, installation, and set-up for midsise customers. NetWorker Fast Start offers one part number that delivers a NetWorker server (Linux or Windows), 20 clients, support for five applications modules for hot backups (choice of Microsoft SQL Server and Exchange, and Oracle), 10 TB backup-to-disk or backup to EMC Disk Library, 40 slot Autochanger, and 40 hours of video instructor-led training.
EMC Disk Library 3D 1500, EMC Disk Library 3D 3000, EMC Disk Library 4000 with spin down and low power drives, and EMC Avamar Data Store Gen 2 will be available in May. EMC Disk Library 3D 4000 option will be available in July; and EMC NetWorker Fast Start is immediately available. |
