SEPATON delivers faster backups and simpler replication with NetBackup OpenStorage (OST) and Auto Image Replication (A.I.R.)

The SEPATON S2100^® is the only enterprise-class data protection that supports the OpenStorage (OST) API and Auto Image Replication (A.I.R.) for NetBackup environments. OST allows NetBackup to see disk as disk, eliminating the need for tape emulation. A.I.R. provides fast, simple replication of data for efficient disaster protection and deep archive. SEPATON also supports a variety of advanced features in OST/A.I.R.,

Simple implementation and seamless migration to OST.

SEPATON S2100 systems support both tape/Fibre Channel, and OST/10 Gb Ethernet protocols on the same system. Advanced storage pooling feature lets you configure a pool of storage for each environment and migrate to OST as you choose. You can reduce the tape/FC environment as data expires from it for a simple, low risk migration with no interruptions in service. Storage pooling also lets you partition a single SEPATON system into multiple OST servers and track usage of each pool separately with advanced multi-tenancy.

Take advantage of OST/10 Gb Ethernet speed with SEPATON's multinode performance.

The SEPATON S2100-ES2 delivers the fastest performance in the industry. It lets you start with a single processing node and increase OST processing power on the fly without modifying media configurations. The system performance scales up to eight nodes for deterministic performance of up to 43.2 TB/hour. The system automatically load balances backup, deduplication, replication, and restore activities across all nodes for maximum sustained performance.

SEPATON and NetBackup OST/A.I.R. make replication and DR management simple, automated, and efficient.

Large enterprises need separate domains to replicate data between branch offices, disaster recovery sites, main data centers, and other segments of the organization. OST/A.I.R. is an appliance-based replication feature controlled by NetBackup that is designed to work in multi-domain environments to improve manageability and disaster protection in large enterprise data centers. It enables event-driven updates to remote catalogs. That is, a remote appliance signals that an image has arrived, causing NetBackup to import the catalog automatically. It also lets you manage multiple retention times for domains throughout your organization.

Replicate massive data volumes quickly and easily.

Now you can move data as you need without wasting time on importing catalogs or tapes performing catalog recovery. That means faster, easier recovery when an emergency is declared. With SEPATON, you can use A.I.R. to automate data protection through Storage Lifecycle Policies. A.I.R.replication transfers deduped information to minimize bandwidth with no administrative action required. SEPATON’s advanced ContentAware deduplication delivers the fastest, most efficient deduplication of OST data in the industry.

Benefits of SEPATON and OST include:

• High performance and efficiency – automatic load balancing eliminates manual administration processes
• Grid scalability – increase capacity and add performance as needed.
• Simple migration, consolidated management – Storage pooling lets you partition single system into multiple OST servers and implement a simple transition to OST
• Fast, efficient SEPATON replication controlled by NetBackup
• Improved manageability, availability – designed for DR across multi-domain environments
• Improved RPO  – Shorter backups allow multiple backups per day (approaching CDP)
