NetApp SnapProtect Management Software Accelerate and simplify backup and recovery
KEY BENEFITS
Shrink Backup Windows Low-impact NetApp® Snapshot® copies and replication can reduce backup windows from hours to minutes. Lower Costs Lower disk capacity utilization by up to 90% and significantly reduce network usage with industry-leading efficiencies. Virtualization- and Application-Aware Minimize downtime and help prevent data loss through integration with virtualization and major applications. Faster Recovery Recover data in minutes, not hours, by using high-speed Snapshot copies that are fully cataloged for rapid search and retrieval. Unified Backup Management Accelerate response times and reduce costs by managing Snapshot copies, replication, and tape backup from a single interface.
The Challenge Around-the-clock global operations, data growth, and server virtualization all conspire to complicate backup and recovery strategies. They affect when and how often you can perform backups, increase the time required to back up, and ultimately affect your ability to successfully restore. These challenges could force lower standards for recovery objectives and introduce risk. High-speed snapshot technologies and application integration can go a long way toward meeting these needs, and they have quickly become essential elements of a complete backup strategy. Yet snapshot copies are often managed separately from traditional backup processes. Features like cataloging as well as tape creation usually require separate management and do not fully leverage snapshot capabilities. To eliminate complexity and accelerate backup and recovery processes, you need a solution that combines the benefits of a traditional backup product with high-speed snapshot technology, all within a single management interface. That solution must also be efficient, helping you to reduce both storage and operational costs.
The Solution Deliver fast and efficient backup and recovery with NetApp SnapProtect™ management software. SnapProtect software combines the capabilities of a traditional backup application with NetApp Snapshot copies, replication, and storage efficiency technologies. SnapProtect software creates, manages, and monitors all backup and recovery operations from a single interface, enabling your staff to be more efficient and responsive. You can use policy-based automation to quickly move Snapshot copies across disk and tape, depending on your cost, compliance, and recovery objectives. SnapProtect software is applicationaware, integrating Snapshot copies with applications and virtual server infrastructures to accelerate restores and help prevent data loss. SnapProtect software leverages NetApp Data ONTAP® deduplication, compression, and other efficiency technologies to control costs. Faster Backup and Recovery for Your Business SnapProtect software is a one-stop shop for protecting and recovering your critical application data as well
as virtual server and traditional infrastructures. SnapProtect software uses Snapshot copies that have little to no impact on production operations, so you can back up more often, reduce backup windows, and minimize the risk of data loss. Unified Backup and Recovery Management Across Your IT Infrastructure SnapProtect software controls and monitors the creation of Snapshot copies and their movement over time. With SnapProtect software, operations are handled from a single interface, reducing the amount of time you spend managing processes and allowing you to respond faster to requests. Snapshot data is fully cataloged for rapid search and recovery as well as improve response time with centralized reporting and auditing. Advanced Recovery Capabilities Streamline and accelerate recovery processes with virtualization and application-aware backups. Simplify protection of your VMware® and Microsoft® Hyper-V™ environments and enable file-level restores. SnapProtect software leverages virtual server software and Snapshot copies to rapidly protect virtual machines (VMs) and their applications without affecting production operations running on other VMs. You can recover VMs in minutes at a file or image level or incrementally restore only what you need. SnapProtect software also integrates with enterprise database, collaboration, and messaging applications to capture data in flight and to provide a known good state for recovery.
Lower Costs with Efficient Backup and Recovery Minimize capacity requirements for backup by as much as 90% and reduce traffic over busy networks by using a variety of NetApp efficiency technologies designed to minimize costs so you can protect more of your data on reliable, high-speed disk for longer. Additionally, you can leverage NetApp Integrated Data Protection capabilities built into Data ONTAP to deliver enterprise-level disaster recovery, high availability, and compliance with a 42% risk-adjusted ROI1 over 3 years. You can experience faster recovery and simplified protection for application data and virtual infrastructures with SnapProtect software. Using SnapProtect software, you can combine Snapshot copies, replication, and tape under a unified platform that improves the quality of backup and recovery processes across your enterprise.
