Northern Storage Suite V8

Northern Storage Suite is a Storage Resource Management solution; a software solution that targets the costs and complexities of managing stored data.

NORTHERN’S NEW STORAGE SUITE PROVIDES CUSTOMIZABLE
ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT AND EXPANDS CONTROL OF
RESOURCES

NORTHERN STORAGE SUITE INTEGRATES FORECASTING, BUDGETING,
ALLOCATION AND SELF-SERVICE TOOLS FOR “BOTTOM-LINE” APPROACH
TO STORAGE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

While the term Storage Resource Management means many
things to many people, today’s release of Northern Storage Suite boils it down to mean what
senior management and IT admins need most: a tool that centralizes control over their entire
Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 storage infrastructure and efficiently reduces network
clutter – the torrent of data which drain resources and productivity (the ability to download and
save unlimited mp3s, jpgs, etc. – many of which are not job related – can translate into hours
of wasteful activity). Northern Storage Suite affords IT administrators more control over even
the most diverse user populations, and the flexibility to implement a solution tailored to the
specific needs of the organization.
Northern Storage Suite does this by applying business principles to storage resource
management. Northern Storage Suite forecasts storage trends and expenditures, enforces
storage policies, budgets, allocates and “charges back” resources, and maximizes workforce
productivity by both limiting and filtering “recreational” data (while providing incentives to users
to prioritize their data, assuring that essential documents and emails are preserved). Northern
Storage Suite also sustains business continuity by promoting application availability and
optimal network performance.

UltraBac Software's UBDR Gold Version 3.5 Expands on Dissimilar Hardware Capabilities

Every minute of every day, somewhere around the world,there is an extremely frustrated systems administrator futilely attempting to recover a failed server without the benefit of a tool designed expressly for this purpose. Without one, a recovery can take anywhere from two hours to two days, and cost thousands of dollars. Many organizations are simply unaware that there is an inexpensive solution to remedy this problem.

There are numerous products that help eliminate computer downtime by offering fail-over and redundancy. However, the important issue is that those products do not help once a machine becomes unbootable. The quickest and easiest method of restoring a failed Windows server or workstation is by implementing an image-based disaster recovery (DR) solution like UltraBac Software ís UBDR Gold.

With UBDR Gold, live snapshots can be periodically stored on the network for easy disaster recovery retrievalósimply boot the dead machine and restore the operating system partition in as little as five minutes. UBDR Gold may also be used for provisioning, roll-back or any other need that might require a quick restore or creation of a server.

Backup 8.0

BakBone Announces NetVault: Backup 8.0 with Integrated, Cross-platform Continuous Data Protection
Built From the Ground Up, BakBone Data Protection Solutions Deliver Tight Integration, and Provide Customers with the Highest Levels of Simplicity and Flexibility SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 1, 2007--BakBone Software(R) (Pink Sheets:BKBO), the leading provider of heterogeneous integrated data protection solutions, today announced version 8.0 of NetVault(R): Backup, the company's award-winning, flagship data protection solution. The newest release of NetVault: Backup introduces integrated, Continuous Data Protection (CDP) capabilities and also expands NetVault: Backup's feature set. This marks a critical advancement in BakBone's Integrated Data Protection (IDP) strategy, BakBone's approach for reducing complexity in the data center. NetVault: TrueCDP(TM), BakBone's new CDP offering, helps customers meet aggressive recovery point objectives for their most valuable and time-sensitive data on Linux and Windows file servers. As opposed to scheduled backups, which provide only one recovery point every 24 hours, BakBone's CDP capabilities provide recovery points within seconds. Developed as an integral feature of NetVault: Backup 8.0, NetVault: TrueCDP uses the same back-end hardware, providing a centralized repository of data that eliminates the complexity introduced by stand-alone CDP systems. Unlike many current CDP solutions that offer only near-CDP, NetVault: TrueCDP does more than just take occasional snapshots of data -- it provides up-to-the-second, real-time data capture for very granular any-point-in-time (APIT) recoveries. Customers can also define fixed-point-in-time (FPIT) recoveries (snapshots) for longer-term recovery points with finer granularity than those offered by traditional scheduled backup systems. BakBone customer Yahoo! leverages NetVault: Backup for scalable data protection. "As a leading global Internet brand and one of the most trafficked Internet destinations worldwide, it is critical that we support our business with technologies that can easily grow over time and provide the flexibility to allow us to run our storage management solutions on different platforms," said Marcellus Tabor, manager of data protection at Yahoo!.
