EMC Data Manager Showcased At Microsoft World Headquarters Executive Briefing Center.Business/Technology Editors HOPKINTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 4, 2001 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 Selected to Protect Microsoft's Executive Briefing Center, Partner Solution Center and T3 Business Intelligence Project 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. today announced that Microsoft has chosen and implemented 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. Data Manager (EDM(TM)) as a showcase backup and recovery solution for production systems supporting corporate customer visits. EDM now serves as an enterprise backup and recovery infrastructure for Microsoft's world headquarters Executive Briefing Center (EBC EBC Exhaled Breath Condensate EBC Executive Briefing Center EBC European Brewery Convention EBC Eastern Book Company EBC Early Breast Cancer EBC European Brain Council EBC Electronic Birth Certificate EBC Ella Baker Center for Human Rights ). EMC Data Manager also is showcased at Microsoft's Partner Solution Center and T3 Business Intelligence Project. EDM achieves high-speed, automated "LAN-free" and "server-less" open systems backup and recovery of production and demonstration data in the EBC's Windows 2000 Server and 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. 2000 environments. For the T3 Business Intelligence Project, Microsoft chose EDM Symmetrix Connect, the EDM solution that provides online server-less, LAN-free high-speed backups of large database and filesystem data residing on Symmetrix(R) Enterprise Storage systems. In addition, the EBC has implemented EDM Open Enterprise Network Backup for information residing on Compaq, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , Unisys, Hewlett-Packard and Dell systems. "Our selection of EDM for this visible and strategic installation within the EBC is due to our confidence in EMC technology and their complete offering," said Pete Gehrett, Microsoft's EBC technology manager. "When we decided to implement a solution to protect our information, EMC was there to integrate EDM seamlessly into our data center. In just a few hours, EMC hooked EDM into our production servers, quickly accessing data residing on our storage systems and backing up our Windows 2000 operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. . EMC was able to provide large-scale database and production backups with ease and automation." EDM also provides backup and recovery support for T3, representing a terabyte One trillion bytes. Also TB, Tbyte and T-byte. See tera and space/time. (unit) terabyte - 2^40 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes = 1024 gigabytes or roughly 10^12 bytes. (Note the spelling - one 'r'). See prefix. of source data in a multi-dimensional cube cube, in geometry, regular solid bounded by six equal squares. All adjacent faces of a cube are perpendicular to each other; any one face of a cube may be its base. The dimensions of a cube are the lengths of the three edges which meet at any vertex. (http://www.emc.com/news/press_releases/view.jsp?id=832). In this solution, EDM backs up a SQL Server 2000 database of approximately two terabytes in a single instance. This joint solution between Microsoft, Unisys Corp., Knosys Inc. and EMC resides at the Microsoft EBC. "This high-profile installation underscores the strategic value Microsoft places in showing customers how Microsoft software and EMC E-Infostructure provide scalability and security for critical information," said Chuck Hollis, EMC's senior director of products and markets. Symmetrix and CLARiiON(R) Enterprise Storage systems, EMC Data Manager, TimeFinder(TM), ControlCenter(TM), PowerPath(TM) and Volume Logix(TM), as well as EMC Connectrix(TM) Enterprise Directors, underlie the EMC E-Infostructure(TM) at the Microsoft EBC.
