BMC Software, represented by Master Distributor CCH Enterprise Solutions, has announced the results of a successful collaborative technical exercise with Microsoft.
This exercise provides Right-Size Recovery capabilities to BMC`s existing solution for Microsoft`s SQL Server 2000 and enhances its SQL Server database recovery offering with advanced transaction-level analysis and recovery.
BMC has completed research and documentation of the internal data structures of SQL Server 2000. This enables it to expand its Right-Size Recovery initiative to SQL Server, providing customers with faster, more precise recoveries. This enhancement includes features that already exist in BMC`s advanced backup transaction capabilities for other databases.
"SQL Server has become the database of choice for many large customers," says Reg Swart, BMC product and operations manager at CCH Enterprise Solutions. "These customers demand the same 24x7 access to and availability of SQL Server-based data as they used to demand of mainframe-class databases, but at a far lower cost. This implies rapid recovery and restore from system failure, and BMC has become the unquestioned leader in this market, with expertise in physical, logical and transaction-level recovery."
Key benefits of the project include:
Reduction or elimination of outages and data loss associated with application failures or user errors;
Online transaction recovery to minimise recovery time and impact; and
Provision of information for audit reports, capacity planning, trend analysis, application development and debugging.
BMC`s Right-Size Recovery solutions allow customers to choose from transaction recovery, point-in-time recovery and database recovery, maximising application availability by performing the fastest, most efficient recovery possible. Right-Size Recovery is a key component of BMC Software`s Application-Centric Storage Management, a new approach to storage management that focuses on the application itself to direct storage policies and procedures
