Cheyenne Introduces JETserve Plus for NetWare.ROSLYN HEIGHTS Roslyn Heights (rŏz`lĭn), uninc. residential village (1990 pop. 6,405), Nassau co., SE N.Y., on Long Island. William Cullen Bryant lived and is buried in nearby Roslyn. , N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 16, 1996-- Tape Backup Using magnetic tape for storing duplicate copies of hard disk files. Users can add an internal or external tape drive to their desktop computers for backup purposes, and files are typically copied to the tapes using a backup utility that updates on a periodic schedule. Software Provides High-Speed, Fault Tolerant The ability to continue non-stop when a hardware failure occurs. A fault-tolerant system is designed from the ground up for reliability by building multiples of all critical components, such as CPUs, memories, disks and power supplies into the same computer. Image Backup and File-By-File Restore Capabilities Cheyenne Software Inc. (AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange : CYE CYE Curb Your Enthusiasm (TV show) CYE Close Your Eyes CYE Check Your Email CYE Calendar Year End CYE Choose Your Event CYE Curtis Youngblood Enterprises ), a world leader in the development and marketing of enterprise-wide essential software solutions, today announced JETserve Plus, the high performance volume-image backup and restore solution for Novell NetWare-based servers. JETserve Plus backs up the entire volume by reading the logical blocks directly, thereby eliminating the traditional file system level bottle neck. Advanced features of JETserve Plus include software RAID fault-tolerance options, individual file-by-file quick restore, and automated, boot strap Disaster Recovery. JETserve has demonstrated speeds of up to 70 plus gigabytes per hour in a recent benchmark test using specific hardware. "High speed image backup solves two important problems: fast backup and restore and simplified disaster recovery," said Michael Peterson The name Michael Peterson can mean:-
Designed to bypass the operating system's file system, JETserve directly reads logical disk blocks to deliver unprecedented read speed that is close to the raw theoretical limits of the hardware devices. Write speed is also maximized by JETserve's ability to stripe data across multiple tape devices simultaneously using RAID software algorithms. By implementing this technology in pure software, JETserve provides various levels of RAID protection without requiring any special RAID hardware investment. The software RAID feature guarantees uninterrupted backup and restore even in the event of a tape drive or media failure. JETserve backup jobs can be immediate -- or scheduled for a specific date and time and run unattended. When restoring files, the user can choose between full image or file-by-file restoration. "As the amount of mission critical data continues to increase at an explosive rate, and at the same time, the backup window continues to shrink, LAN administrators are finding it more and more difficult to schedule their backup jobs within the available backup window," said Wayne Lam, vice president and general manager of Cheyenne's NetWare division. "Cheyenne's JETserve Plus meets these critical needs by enabling backup and restoration to be performed at maximum speed and ensuring successful completion even if a tape or media failure should occur." JETserve Plus also includes a comprehensive disaster recovery feature which fully automates the process of disaster recovery planning and execution. In the event of a disaster, the user simply: 1) replaces the hardware, 2) inserts the first of a set of bootable disaster recovery diskettes, and 3) boots up the system. JETserve Plus will do the rest, prompting the user for the appropriate action to completely rebuild the system from the tape. Hard disk partitions (including special foreign partitions), NetWare Bindery A NetWare file used for security and accounting in the early NetWare 2.x and 3.x versions. The bindery pertained only to the server it resided in and contained the names and passwords of users authorized to log in to that server. or NDS See eDirectory. NDS - Netware Directory Services information, as well as the entire NetWare Operating System operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. , are all restored from the tape. This automated, boot-strap disaster recovery feature reduces the traditionally complex disaster recovery plan to a simple three step process. "By providing a complete volume-image and restore solution, Cheyenne's JETserve Plus works together with IntranetWare and NetWare servers to meet our customers' critical backup needs," said William Donahoo, senior director of marketing at Novell Inc. "With JETserve Plus, Cheyenne continues to prove they are a leading provider of storage management solutions."
