Population: 40,900. , Fla. & MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nov. 8, 2000 Columbia Data Product's Open Transaction Manager eliminates the backup window for VERITAS Backup Exec Backup Exec is backup software for Microsoft Windows environments currently developed by Symantec. Backup Exec has a long history of being sold from one company to another. for NetWare and VERITAS NetBackup Columbia Data Products Columbia Data Products (CDP) introduced the MPC 1600 "Multi Personal Computer" in June 1982. It was an exact functional copy of the IBM PC model 5150 except for the BIOS which was clean roomed. (CDP CDP (cytidine diphosphate): see cytosine. (1) (Certificate in Data Processing) An earlier award for the successful completion of an examination in hardware, software, systems analysis, programming, management and accounting, ) and VERITAS Software, The Data Availability Company, announced today the integration of CDP's high availability Open Transaction Manager (OTM OTM See: Out of the money. ) as the Open File Option for VERITAS Backup Exec(TM) for NetWare and VERITAS NetBackup(TM). Providing customers the ability to back up all in-use files, OTM eliminates backup windows and helps users maintain safe and consistent backups. The increased reliance from industries using NetWare operating systems has highlighted the need for safe and efficient handling of open files, making VERITAS Backup Exec for NetWare and VERITAS NetBackup invaluable solutions for protecting information assets. This partnership expands CDP's relationship with VERITAS Software as OTM is already integrated into both VERITAS Backup Exec for Windows NT and Windows 2000 and VERITAS NetBackup for Windows NT. OTM's disk/volume-based snapshot technology developed by CDP provides seamless backup of open files and raw operating system transactions. Unlike products that operate strictly on a file basis, OTM allows backup applications to run as a true background operation. With today's emphasis on non-intrusive data management, technologies such as OTM become an obvious choice for customers running 24x7x365 global operations. Because backups can be run at any time without the risk of missing open files or affecting system performance, the need for a specific backup window is now eliminated. The combination of OTM with VERITAS Backup Exec for NetWare and VERITAS NetBackup creates backup solutions featuring the highest performance and reliability available in the Novell NetWare market. "The integration of Columbia Data Product's OTM into VERITAS Backup Exec for NetWare and VERITAS NetBackup as the Open File Option has allowed us to enhance the functionality of data protection by providing a volume based open-file backup solution for Novell NetWare environments," said Neal Ater, senior vice president, Data Protection Product Group, VERITAS Software. "VERITAS Backup Exec for NetWare and VERITAS NetBackup are both scalable NetWare data protection solutions that provide fast and reliable backup and recovery of mission-critical applications. "All backup software will now be judged by a higher standard now that VERITAS Software is integrating OTM and eliminating backup window problems," said Alan Welsh, president of CDP. "Gone are the days when customers must worry about when to back up, because the Open File Option eliminates concerns about open, in-use files, CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. or I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output bandwidth from the backup application. The Open File Option keeps all of the file, database, network, CPU and I/O subsystem resources available to users on a priority basis during the backup by throttling the I/O. Monitoring and throttling the Open File Option keeps system performance high, resulting in increased user productivity." "Our partnership with VERITAS Software validates our technology as a critical tool for today's backup customer," said Steve Guerra, Vice President of Business Development for CDP. "No administrator would eliminate backup as a critical management task even though some applications can impede system performance, it's just too important. Administrators will not have to choose between keeping an application server online for users or protecting its data. With the integration of OTM into VERITAS Backup Exec and VERITAS NetBackup, users can accomplish both. We are proud to partner with an industry leader such as VERITAS Software in providing such a solution."
