IBM Tivoli® Storage Manager FastBack storage management and recovery software quickly recovers Microsoft® Windows® server data.

Tivoli Storage Manager Fastback is recovery software – a specific kind of storage management that gets applications and users back up and running within minutes following any data loss while performing full data recovery in the background.

• Protect and recover data for critical Windows applications seamlessly.
• Reduce the need for traditional backup windows with storage management software that captures data changes at the block level while providing extremely low systems overhead.
• Schedule automated data transfers based on flexible, policy-based settings, helping administrators meet data protection and retention requirements on a per-application basis.
• Enable data asset recovery from any Windows application, including Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2® and SAP.
• Make the most effective use of available bandwidth with strategies such as multi-threading, bundling of small files and industry-standard compression.
• Operating systems supported: Windows

• Simplify and accelerate information protection
• Help lower operational cost end energy usage
• Manage more data with less infrastructure

The IBM System Storage TS7650G ProtecTIER De-duplication Gateway solution meets the disk-based data protection needs of the enterprise data centre while enabling significant infrastructure cost reductions. The solution offers high-performance in-line data de-duplication, optional two node clustering and up to 1 petabyte (PB) of physical storage capacity per system. Combined with IBM storage, the ProtecTIER Gateway solution provides an optimal disk-based target for backup and archive data.

The TS7650G is designed to simplify information retention and availability for your information infrastructure. The TS7650G combines a virtual tape library (VTL) solution with in-line data de-duplication powered by IBM’s patent-pending HyperFactor technology. This technology enables significant savings in disk requirements and costs.
