Snap Server 15000
Scalable Block and File Storage Solution
for the Distributed Enterprise
As enterprises become more distributed and
storage demands continue to explode, controlling
multiple types of data across a broad range of
applications has become increasingly complex. With
traditional solutions, block data and file data must
be stored on separate servers and managed
independently. The ideal solution would allow block
and file data to be stored on the same server to
consolidate data management.
The Snap Server™ 15000 combines a scalable hardware
platform with a complete software suite to deliver a
flexible primary storage solution at tape storage
costs. By leveraging the unified block and file
architecture of the award-winning GuardianOS™, the
Snap Server 15000 is the solution for consolidating
disparate data to simplify storage management and
significantly reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Accelerated Backup
The continuous generation of large amounts of data by
applications such as email has made traditional backup
methods slow and impractical. Backing up directly to
the Snap Server 15000 and then archiving the data to
tape significantly reduces the backup time and
provides rapid restores. The native Snapshot
technology embedded in the GuardianOS provides
consistent, point-in-time incremental backups which
can be stored online to further reduce tape media
costs. Integrated BakBone NetVault software, backup
agent support for VERITAS, CA and Legato, and future
Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP)* support
provide the ultimate backup flexibility.
Storage Consolidation
Consolidating storage allows enterprises to do more
with less. By offering simultaneous block and file
storage on a single device, the Snap Server 15000
eliminates the need for disparate storage pools,
simplifies data management, consolidates storage
resources, and maximizes storage dollars. Instant
Capacity Expansion™ (I.C.E.) enables on-the-fly
scalability and provisioning to seamlessly grow
storage resources to meet changing needs.
Nearline Storage
Data growth and regulatory compliance are requiring an
increasing amount of data to be stored on rapid
access, disk-based storage instead of tape and optical
storage. The challenge is finding the performance of
primary storage at the cost of archival storage. The
Snap Server 15000 offers compelling price/performance
for storing large amounts of data on fast, disk-based
media.
