Enterprise Backup Design & ImplementationManaging the scattered data in your enterprise isn’t easy. From multi-gigabyte, real-time databases to each user's desktop, it's up to you to ensure the data's integrity, safety and accessibility. That means a daily regimen of backups, requests for restores and managing devices.
Structured provides you with the latest technologies that fulfill the promises of total enterprise storage management. Beyond backup capabilities, the latest hardware and software solutions from Structured boost performance and consolidate administrator toolkits to create seamless management in an enterprise environment.
Backup Tools for Today’s Architectures Structured designs and implements backup solutions that meet the needs of today’s distributed architectures. Traditionally, the backup hardware was attached to a master backup server, and all backups were initiated and recorded on this single server. Distributed backups off-load tape drives from the server to any node on the network, which lets you use hardware that would otherwise be idle. It also lets you target backup locations that match your network's physical layout.
Furthermore, hierarchical storage management modules show you how long you maintain files on various media and when they should be deleted. These modules typically leave a small stub file that lets users transparently access files that have been moved offline to tape or optical media. Some applications also perform disk grooming, in which archived files are deleted from production disk drives.
Structured also provides solutions in which agents and clients speed backups from workstations and servers. These solutions automatically off-load processing chores from the server and handle the backup of enterprise applications. Such tools let your administrators balance centralized control and user choice in a way that works best for your organization.
