ADIC SCALAR 1000 QUALIFIED BY EMC FOR USE WITH EMC DATA MANAGER.Advanced Digital Information Corporation (Nasdaq:ADIC) has announced that EMC Corporation EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) is an American Fortune 500 and S&P 500 manufacturer of software and systems for information management and storage. It is headquartered in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, USA. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :EMC (1) (EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, www.emc.com) The leading supplier of storage products for midrange computers and mainframes. Founded in 1979 by Richard J. Egan and Roger Marino, EMC has developed advanced storage and retrieval technologies for the world's largest companies. ) has qualified the ADIC Scalar 1000 automated tape library platform for network and SAN backup with the EMC Data Manager (EDM (Engineering Data Management) An information system that maintains the details of all engineering data while the product is in the design and concept phase. This includes geometry and changes to geometry. See PLM. EDM - Electronic Data Management ) software. The qualification covers data protection both for EMC Symmetrix The Symmetrix is EMC's flagship enterprise storage array. There have been seven generations of Symmetrix hardware, with the first appearing in 1994 and the latest introduced in 2006. installations and for a complete range of open system storage environments, including all leading UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). and Windows operating environments. Tape technologies covered by the initial qualification include DLT (Digital Linear Tape) A magnetic tape technology originally developed by Digital for its VAX line. The technology was later sold to Quantum, which makes it available to other manufacturers. DLT uses half-inch, single-hub cartridges similar to IBM's 3480/3490/3590 line. and AIT-2. "EDM is one of the most advanced data protection and recovery solutions available today," explained Bill Britts, ADIC executive vice president of Sales and Marketing. "Its performance and reliability, which have been proven within EMC enterprise applications, extend to a wide range of operating systems and storage environments. The availability of an integrated Scalar 1000 EDM solution will now extend high performance, scalable data protection to a broad IT community that needs innovative solutions to keep up with their exploding amounts of information." "Backing disk up to automated tape libraries is a critical part of the data protection process in network and SAN environments," said Chuck Hollis, EMC vice president of products and markets. "ADIC's Scalar 1000 makes that protection more effective by providing advanced storage networking support features and a system for scaling that preserves performance and reliability. The combination of EDM and the Scalar 1000 provides a new solution option that our enterprise customers will welcome." EDM consolidates backup and recovery for many types of open systems environments and streamlines the organization of files and databases for archiving and rapid recovery tasks. It also provides dramatic improvements to performance and supports LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. , LAN-free and serverless backup to scale even the most demanding backup and recovery requirements while minimizing people costs for backup and recovery tasks. EDM connects to user network (IP) and storage area networks (Fibre SANs) to consolidate and control the backup tasks for all of an organization's open systems servers. The Scalar 1000 is a high performance scalable tape library platform with an integrated storage networking architecture. Its unique barrier-free expansion lets the library grow easily with customer data while maintaining superior performance and reducing costs. The Scalar 1000's storage networking capabilities increase the performance of SAN backup and make it easier to manage. Supported features include a server-free backup agent, self-reporting connectivity health checks, a built-in SAN firewall, and integrated utilities, which increase backup performance and reliability. |
