SAN Backup Solution
San Francisco, CA..[insert date]
SANRAD announces certification of BakBone’s NetVaultä backup and
recovery protection software. BakBone Software™ (TSE: BKB), a
global provider of storage management software and SANRAD Inc., a
global provider of iSCSI storage virtualization Switches, Routers
and Bridges announced today interoperability between SANRAD’s
iSCSI V Switch and BakBone's backup and recovery software, NetVault.
In addition to interoperability, the two companies have partnered to
introduce the combined solution to the iSCSI market.
Over the past three months SANRAD
has been installing evaluation units of the iSCSI V Switch in select
businesses. The iSCSI V Switch enables network administrators with
diverse applications to use existing FC and SCSI storage to build
highly available and fault tolerant iSCSI SANs. SANRADs iSCSI V
Switch in-band virtualization feature gathers all physical storage
resources (SCSI, iSCSI and FC) into a single pool. From these pooled
resources, network administrators can define new virtual volumes
that are independent of physical barriers such as enclosures,
physical disks, protocols, or distance. SANRAD’s list of virtual
volume types include mirrored volumes, striped volumes, volume
copies, large volumes (hundreds of GBs), and precise volumes (as low
as a few hundred kilobytes). SANRAD virtualization also provides
local synchronous mirroring and automatic fail-over.
BakBone's NetVault uses iSCSI over
IP to access each one of the virtual volumes provided by the iSCSI V
Switch. NetVault can perform a broad range of data-protection
operations to either the files resident on the virtual volumes or
the virtual volumes themselves. Moreover, NetVault can provide
backup and restore from one virtual volume to another virtual volume
within the same iSCSI V Switch SAN as well as from one iSCSI V
Switch SAN to a remote iSCSI V Switch SAN located over IP across a
MAN or WAN. NetVault data-preservation solutions and options include
disaster recovery-bare metal restore, open file backup, SAN and NAS
support, SAN/NAS convergence, virtual tape libraries, Jumbo packet
data transfer over iSCSI and a host of other features.
"Our iSCSI V Switch enables
any business to use their existing infrastructure, knowledge base,
and FC or SCSI storage investments to build an iSCSI based storage
area network" explains Zophar Sante, Vice President of Market
Development for SANRAD. "We’re seeing a multi-billion dollar
market emerge as businesses evolve their storage architectures to IP
based SAN’s. We’re very excited about our partnership with
Bakbone Software. The NetVault product performs seamlessly with our
iSCSI Virtualization Switch. Any business can now build a high
performance, fault-tolerant iSCSI SAN which includes enterprise
class backup, recovery, and remote data copy services"
" A core requirement of any
SAN is to enable a robust, high performance backup and recovery
solution to protect data. NetVault was designed to maximize backup
performance with the SAN environment, it likewise has been developed
to deliver faster restore speeds over other traditional backup
solutions," said Larry E. Fox, Director of Strategic Alliances
for BakBone Software. "SANRAD’s Certification of NetVault,
and our new partnership, further demonstrates our commitment to our
customers and their immediate as well as their future needs. We are
excited and pleased to announce this partnership."
