LAN Design has announced that industry-leading storage technology product ARCserveIT is now available to Linux users, providing high performance, easy administration, ultra-wide device support and unsurpassed reliability.
ARCserveIT for the Linux environment extends its functionality with added client agent technology, tape library support, and advanced tape management.
"Organisations of all types and sizes in today`s dynamic, global e-business marketplace depend on computer technology to run their operations," says LAN Design product manager Neill Rosenthal. "The deployment of IT systems allows businesses to grow without limitations. Systems ranging from applications to databases form the foundation for operational success. Consequently, safeguarding this information by implementing a storage management solution is the key to attaining and maintaining the competitive advantage. Data loss affects the bottom line - missed business opportunities, unsatisfied customers, and most of all, forfeited revenue."
Proven Linux Protection
"Many organisations today are deploying Linux-based servers for eBusiness strategies to quickly and inexpensively boost or build their computing environments," says Rosenthal. ARCserveIT delivers industry-proven protection for several Linux platforms, including Red Hat, Caldera, SuSE, and TurboLinux. In addition, ARCserve IT supports the common GUI interfaces such as GNOME, KDE, KMS, and more.
Users can also take advantage of ARCserve IT`s Java-based GUI for local or remote Web-based management. ARCserveIT offers transparency for file systems supported on the Linux operating system users may be running. Backups can be executed locally or remotely using SCSI or TCP/IP, respectively. Long filename support and on-the-fly performance tuning help maximise memory resources.
ARCserveITAdvanced Edition meets the storage management needs of any size environment, ranging from small to large. ARCserveIT Advanced Edition for the Linux operating system scales from a single server to multiple servers. In addition, users can manage storage across multiple servers - including Windows NT servers - from the same console.
ARCserveIT provides a comprehensive storage management solution, delivering several key advantages, including:
Reduced Operational Expenses and Improved Productivity
ARCserveITautomates every traditional storage management task. This lowers operating expenses, reduces media errors, and enables users to centrally perform essential data protection routines.
Proven Backup And Recovery Reliability
ARCserveIT`s comprehensive data protection functionality reliably secures critical data. ARCserveITgoes beyond simple data protection, utilising data verification methods such as tape scan and byte-by-byte checking, enabling maximum data integrity, and recovery capabilities in the event of a disaster.
Ultra-Wide System Support
ARCserveIT offers support for heterogeneous environments. It allows storage access from the operating environment to data housed on multiple servers running on multiple platforms. ARCserveIT also features extensive tape-device support and advanced-level notification for user-configured alerts.
Extensive Solution Flexibility
ARCserveITmakes it easy for users to support their dynamic business. Available agents and options extend support to virtually any computer in a specific environment. Cross-platform management via a Java-based console provides flexible administration across the infrastructure.
Easy To Deploy and Effortless to Manage
Installing ARCserveIT is simple - intuitive "Wizards" guide users through the entire process. Extending protection beyond the server is quick and easy. ARCserveIT`s client agents can be remotely installed across the network, allowing users to install the software on multiple machines from a central location.
Performance When You Need It Most
ARCserveIT`s architecture and low-level device communication provide high performance for all operations. When protecting client data, ARCserveIT uses "push" technology to pre-package data on the client machine, maximising processing speed when transferring data to the server. ARCserveIT also features intelligent data compression, which accelerates data movement, thereby reducing network traffic and increasing drive capacity.
