When I think of reliability, I can still hear the commercial, “Timex – Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking". It was the advertising slogan for Timex watches when they first were introduced to the market. While the slogan signified the watches durability, it was more than just a slogan as there was substance behind it. Durability was accomplished through precision tooling, design, and industry-leading materials. Having the substance behind the claim allowed Timex to become the leading watch company when 1 out of every 3 watches sold was a Timex.
Symantec has taken a similar approach to the NetBackup appliances with resiliency. The appliances are designed to Symantec specifications, optimized for performance, and built on the industry-leading NetBackup software. A great example of this is the NetBackup 5330 appliance.
The NetBackup 5330 is an integrated backup media server with storage to support greater performance, capacity, and resiliency requirements. Refer to my earlier blogs “Introducing NetBackup 5330 Integrated Appliance” and “NetBackup 5330: Performance and Scale” for additional information on the appliance.
Designed for Resilience
The NetBackup 5330 is designed for resiliency from the ground up and is an integrated appliance. It showcases leading edge Symantec technologies to ensure data protection, availability, and security in four key areas:
Great Design Can Save the Environment
The NetBackup 5330 appliance is Energy Star compliant, and is the only integrated purpose-built backup appliance with this certification.
Not only does the appliance reduce power and cooling expenses compared to other backup appliances, but it has great density. Yes, being dense can be a good thing! It delivers more terabytes of usable capacity per rack space unit (RSU), or floor space, than competing products.
Summary
Accidents do happen, it is a part of life and technology, whether it is an act of nature or an act of omission or commission. Accidents are something we cannot control. What we can control is how we prepare, respond, and manage when the unexpected occurs. The NetBackup 5330 appliance is designed for resiliency to protect your data and ensure it is available when you need it most.
