Cheyenne Software and Storage Dimensions join forces to provide one of the fastest disaster recovery solutions in the industry; Cheyenne JETserve is the first backup software to fully optimize DLT tape arrays.ROSLYN HEIGHTS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 5, 1995--Expanding its storage and data management industry leadership into new technologies, 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 ) today announced a technology partnership with Storage Dimensions that will result in the industry's fastest single-server storage backup solution. Storage Dimensions will bundle Cheyenne's image-based backup software See backup program. (tool, software) backup software - Software for doing a backup, often included as part of the operating system. Backup software should provide ways to specify what files get backed up and to where. , JETserve with their top of the line 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. tape drive to provide the most powerful mission-critical backup for a single server available in today's industry. "Our partnership will provide an unrivaled level of backup and restore performance for NetWare servers," Robert Hamilton For other persons named Robert Hamilton, see Robert Hamilton (disambiguation). Robert Hamilton (June 11, 1743 - 1829), Scottish economist and mathematician, was born at Pilrig, Edinburgh, Scotland. , Storage Dimensions product line manager. "We are excited because JETserve is the first product that can take advantage of the speed of our DLTs. Together with Cheyenne, we can provide the best-of-breed backup and disaster recovery solution for NetWare mission-critical servers." JETserve incorporates state-of-the art image based backup technology to produce a "snapshot" of a server and can achieve throughput rates of up to 40GB per hour when paired with DLT tape drives such as Storage Dimensions JETArray Tape-Array. Designed specifically for narrow or frequent backup windows, JETserve can backup any size server in the same amount of time, regardless of the amount of data. JETserve can also restore server operations faster than any other solution on the market because each tape set is a total backup of the server including vital directory information. This can potentially save users thousands of dollars in the event of a server failure. In addition, JETserve offers choice and convenience of complete system, volume, or file-by-file restoration. "We look forward to furthering our long-standing relationship with Storage Dimensions and are pleased that their JETArray/JETserve solution provides a great complement to the ARCserve-enabled tape systems that they have been selling for years," said John Staudenraus, Cheyenne JETserve product manager. "In fact, Storage Dimensions is the only company in the industry that offers the hardware DLT 4000 innovation to fully optimize the unique speed and power qualities available with JETserve." JETArray provides the fastest multi-drive tape array and is ideally suited for Cheyenne JETserve's phenomenal backup speed. Its space-efficient, rack-mountable design provides modular growth up to 192 GB per enclosure and incorporates next generation tape technology to match the backup requirements of high-capacity applications servers as well as distributed network servers. Unlike other systems that force an array to act as a single drive, JETArray provides separate, individually addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be fast SCSI-2 drives, thereby maximizing performance through parallel streaming multiple jobs concurrently and increasing the resulting throughput. Cheyenne's new image-based backup solution, JETserve, is a perfect complement to Cheyenne's industry leading backup solution ARCserve. Each product is aimed at distinctly different niches in today's industry. JETserve is ideal for the short backup window, high data volume environment where frequent data protection is critical. ARCserve can backup all the servers in a corporation and is fully interoperable among all of the popular platforms including NetWare, Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. , OS/2, 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 Macintosh. In addition, ARCserve is more flexible in that it can perform differential, incremental or full backups as well as employ filters such as name, attribute, and time stamps to further sort through data as defined by the network administrator. In addition, optional database agents allow live backup of databases while open and tape cascading and autochanger See autoloader. support further simplify backup and restore operations. ARCserve is ideal for the entire enterprise while JETserve is perfect for protection of a single super server. Both JETserve and ARCserve are compatible with each other and together provide the bullet-proof protection needed in today's distributed computing (1) The use of multiple computers networked throughout a wide geographical area, or the world via the Internet, in order to solve a single problem.
