Por que adoramos appliances
Com o passar do tempo, os profissionais de TI observaram uma mudança significativa nas tecnologias de que mais precisamos. Apesar de aparentemente pequenos e simples, os appliances de backup do datacenter podem ser adicionados às nossas vidas com pouco ou nenhum esforço, são executados com pouca intervenção externa, proporcionam economias significativas de tempo e normalmente não exigem nenhuma configuração. Devido à simplicidade que oferecem, os appliances podem liberar recursos na empresa de formas inimagináveis. FUNÇÃO DOS APPLIANCES Qual a função que esses pequenos, porém poderosos, appliances de backup exercem no datacenter? A resposta não é tão simples e pode ser na verdade bastante variada. Os appliances específicos para backup (PBBA) podem ajudar a proporcionar disponibilidade de aplicativos, oferecer backup dinâmico e ajudar na recuperação rápida de dados, com integração a um único appliance. Apesar de oferecer vários usos, a principal vantagem do appliance é a habilidade de integrar componentes independentes e separados, simplificando o universo do datacenter, eliminando vários sistemas legados e reduzindo a propagação do datacenter, o que pode ser uma causa cada vez maior do aumento das despesas operacionais. SIMPLES E ÁGIL A introdução da simplicidade ao datacenter é a maior vantagem do appliance. Da mesma forma que várias máquinas virtuais podem agora existir em um único hardware, um appliance pode também integrar vários componentes de hardware em um único aparelho físico. Isso libera infraestrutura e recursos de TI para outras finalidades. Essa função se torna ainda mais importante quando consideramos que mais de 50% dos departamentos de TI nas empresas estão mantendo o tamanho de suas equipes inalterado. Um gerenciamento simplificado libera os departamentos de TI para que se concentrem em outras tarefas críticas, como gerenciar a informação ou dar suporte a iniciativas de negócios estratégicas. O gerenciamento simplificado da informação pode também tornar as redes mais ágeis. Por exemplo, considere um appliance de backup como o NetBackup 5230 ou NetBackup 5330. Este último, criado para oferecer capacidade escalonável, alto desempenho e resiliência para lidar com os objetivos de backup e recuperação mais agressivos do datacenter, ele protege também ambientes físicos e virtuais. A simplicidade é apenas um dos principais benefícios de se introduzir um appliance ao datacenter. Em nosso próximo artigo, exploraremos o segundo benefício principal: redução de custos. Se você estiver considerando adicionar um appliance ao seu datacenter, esses dois benefícios serão essenciais para sua pesquisa.

The concept of synthesizing full backups from previous full and new incremental backups had been in the industry for a while. The idea is to run incremental backups on client system so that its CPU and memory resources are used minimally. In addition, as the full data set is not moved over network, it is a great way to save network bandwidth.Welcome to the Veritas Flex Appliance
The Veritas Flex Appliance is a new concept in delivering enterprise data protection services. It utilizes a modern, containerized architecture to deliver a range of on-demand services including data protection and tiering to public and private clouds. Flex simplifies IT by replacing multiple, dedicated departmental servers with a single, microservices based data protection appliance. With Flex, multiple NetBackup and NetBackup CloudCatalyst microservices are configured and deployed in less than 5 minutes, and on-demand. And, Multiple NetBackup deployments (domains) can be consolidated on a single Flex appliance substantially reducing data center cost and complexity. The Flex Appliance represents a paradigm shift in high availability and SW updates. It’s not only a fully redundant hardware appliance, it’s also H/A in its and containers/services. With Flex, new versions of services are deployed in independent containers making SW patches and updates a thing of the past. Interested in learning more about Flex? Join our Veritas Appliances community and interact with the Engineering and Product Management team that developed this new architecture.

Customers report a turning point where infrastructure investment ROI is beginning to slow. More than half of typical budgets are consumed by infrastructure spending while headcounts are flat. And yet: data is growing, platforms are fragmenting and uptime expectations are off the charts. So what’s the answer?Veritas Appliances receive ENERGY STAR certification
Combining Corporate Responsibility with innovative data management solutions, the Veritas Manufacturing and Supply Chain team worked closely with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and partners to attain ENERGY STAR certification for NetBackup 5340, Access 3340, and Flex 5340 appliances.4.2KViews1like0CommentsSurvey Participants Needed: Long Term Retention Storage Appliance

A significant number of my NetBackup customers are currently looking to eliminate tape within their environments. For a long time people have been saying that tape is dead but until recently I never believed it because of the amount of data you could store on an LTO tape and the performance of the drives, made it cheaper than an average disk array. With the introduction of deduplication technology, tape elimination started to become a reality but the cost to keep the data beyond a few months on deduplication pools was not cost effective and meant that tape still had a place within the environment for long-term retention. With Veritas Access this is about to change as customers are now able to send their long term backups via S3 to a cost effective scale-out NAS solution. This effectively creates a two-tiered storage platform for the backup environment, with primary backups sent to high performance storage while leveraging advanced features such as client-side deduplication and Accelerator synthetic backups to reduce backup windows. Any backups that need to be kept for long-term retention would be automatically duplicated to Veritas Access via S3. This approach reduces the amount of primary storage required, eliminates tape, including all the operational costs associated with it and if using NetBackup Appliances or custom built Media Server Deduplication Pools (MSDP), provides a single vendor backup solution. With this new approach to backups, tape elimination may become a reality after all.1.7KViews1like5Comments
