CommVault First to Market With Complete 'Zero Impact' Backup Solutions for Mixed Windows and Unix Environments.Business/Technology Editors OCEANPORT, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2002 Galaxy Release 4.1 Delivers Faster Application-level Restores And Reduces 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 Burden on Storage Hardware to Enable Truly Automated Enterprise Storage In a significant extension of its "application centric" approach to enterprise storage management, CommVault(R) Systems Inc. today announced that Galaxy release 4.1 incorporates "Zero Impact" backup technologies designed to yield faster application-level restores and free host servers from the burden of supporting concurrent backup and application processing. Galaxy delivers fast volume level backup with little or no impact on the production host so application performance is not degraded. Incremental Additional or increased growth, bulk, quantity, number, or value; enlarged. Incremental cost is additional or increased cost of an item or service apart from its actual cost. or differential backup See backup types. (operating system) differential backup - A kind of backup that copies all files that have changed since the last full backup. Each differential backup will include all files in previous differential backups since the full backup so to restore a version of moves only the changed blocks - reducing both application interruption time and media usage and dramatically increasing backup performance. Key features of Galaxy's "Zero Impact" 4.1 release include: --Industry's First "Zero Impact" Support for Both Windows and Unix Environments: With support for Windows, Exchange, SQL Server An earlier relational DBMS from Sybase and from Microsoft. Sybase introduced SQL Server in 1988 for various Unix versions. In that same year, with help from IBM, Sybase created an OS/2 version that Microsoft licensed and branded as Microsoft SQL Server. , Oracle and Solaris, and including block level incremental backup See backup types. (operating system) incremental backup - A kind of backup that copies all files which have changed since the date of the previous backup. The first backup of a file system should include all files - a "full backup". Call this level 0. of Oracle databases, Galaxy 4.1 offers a backup breakthrough for administrators charged with managing storage in complex, heterogeneous computing environments. --Management Intelligence to Reduce Processing Loads for Host Servers: Galaxy frees host servers from the I/O overhead associated with managing backups, allowing administrators to maximize enterprise hardware investments. --Simplified Management of Snap and Third Party Copy Serverless Data Movement: CommVault's unified interface provides a single point of control for managing, scheduling, aging and cataloging snapshots and management of Third Party Copy based on serverless data movement. --"Built-in" Software Copy Management: For SAN infrastructures lacking Third Party Copy enabled hardware, Galaxy includes a built-in Software Copy Manager, allowing administrators to either leverage current investments in snapshot and/or serverless data movement technologies, or to use CommVault's own software snapshot technology to provide advanced data protection strategies across mixed storage environments. --Application-centric Backup and Restoration: CommVault's unique approach to backup ensures that a consistent, recoverable, image of the data is protected. Previous software solutions have managed data at the physical storage or "device" layer, without Galaxy's ability to restore data to the level of the individual user application. By minimizing the need for human mediation to restore data to the application level, Galaxy can reduce business process interruptions from hours to minutes. "CommVault is the only data and storage management solution provider that can deploy `Zero Impact' backup strategies for mixed SAN environments," commented Bob Hammer Howard Robert Hammer (* March 3 1930 in Indianapolis) is an US-american jazz musician (pianist and arranger). Hammer studied at the Michigan State University and at Manhattan School of Music before taking private lessons by composer Henry Brant. , CommVault president and chief executive officer. "Our media independent solution offers disk-to-disk, disk-to-tape, or tape-to-tape serverless data movement. So it provides a value-added solution to increase the return on customers' investment in enterprise networked storage, or strong justification to make that investment in the first place." In bringing its "Zero-Impact" solution to market, CommVault has worked with a number of industry leaders, including ADIC and Crossroads Systems. "All of ADIC's intelligent storage networking libraries and SAN connectivity appliances support CommVault's innovative `Zero-Impact' backup solutions with integrated, multiple-stream data movement for the highest performance data protection and the least possible impact on normal operations Generally and collectively, the broad functions that a combatant commander undertakes when assigned responsibility for a given geographic or functional area. Except as otherwise qualified in certain unified command plan paragraphs that relate to particular commands, "normal operations" of ," said Jonathan Otis, ADIC senior vice president, technology. "CommVault's `Zero Impact' backup and ADIC's connectivity and management products bring this important advance to heterogeneous SANs and multiple protocols for the first time." "As the market leader in storage routing, and as one of the original developers of Third Party Copy technology, Crossroads believes CommVault customers are gaining a clear advantage in their ability to optimize policy-based data management," said Bob Griswold, chief technologist and director of marketing, Crossroads Systems. "By using Crossroads to power serverless data movement, CommVault Galaxy minimizes the use of server resources for backup in mixed environments."
