HIARC CAB Software Provides Linux Users with Online, Centralized Archiving and Backup; Automatically Backs Up and Archives Data to Local or Off-Site Storage.Business Editors/High Tech Writers ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 29, 2000 HIARC HIARC Hazard Identification Assessment Review Committee (Environmental Protection Agency, US) Inc. http://www.hiarc.com Friday introduced its new online Centralized cen·tral·ize v. cen·tral·ized, cen·tral·iz·ing, cen·tral·iz·es v.tr. 1. To draw into or toward a center; consolidate. 2. Archiving and Backup (CAB) data management software for Linux. HIARC CAB(TM) provides businesses with an online central point of management for their data backup and retrieval needs. "Today more information than ever is being stored in a digital format and computer users, have less access to their data then they had yesterday," said John Frassel, HIARC's director of Channel Marketing, "Companies are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. for both their real time and historical data. They are looking for a solution that is easily accessible and more quickly available than historical off-line solutions." CAB gives businesses an online, lights out, cross platform, data protection and retrieval solution that automatically replicates and archives any kind of file -- such as documents, spreadsheets, images and Internet related data -- located on Linux, Solaris, Unix or Windows-based clients and routes these files to local or off-site storage. CAB acquires data by taking point in time data snapshots. Point in time snap shots record the state of network data without having to worry about traditional backup windows. CAB archives snapshots as defined by the parameters entered for each snapshot entry, creating historical step by step evolution of a business' data. Because the data snapshot method is task oriented and replicates only changed data, it does not strain network bandwidth like batch-oriented disk-to-tape backups can. The frequency rate for each snapshot is programmable and can be changed at any time. When retrieving data, CAB gives clients true 7 x 24 access to both their archived and last snapshot data. Now users can retrieve data from the time period they need and view these archived files with response times that can equal what they get from their live or production data files. With CAB, no one has to wait for someone to schedule the time to restore his or her data from a backup tape See tape backup. . CAB can be configured for server-to-server applications. This allows a higher-level corporate server to backup data from a lower-level server -- and the lower-level server to backup data from workstations located on the network it manages. CAB gives organizations the scalability they need because CAB backs up data over any IP-based shared or dedicated LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. , WAN or SAN. For example, a company with satellite offices can tier CAB so that the corporate CAB server can backup each satellite office. With CAB running in satellite offices, each office can have online archiving functions without the need for an on site administrator. Adding Satellite offices to the CAB scheduler is as simple as adding another client. "CAB also has something for integrators and VAR's," said Frassel, "It allows them to market their own network attach backup and archiving appliance. With NAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Network Attached Storage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O requests by supporting the popular and SAN devices becoming standard attachments to their customers' network(s), Integrators and distributors now have packaged, off the shelf software that allows them to create their own network attach appliance solutions. Additional value can be added by offering an Hierarchical Storage Management See HSM. option for on-site data storage and for off site tape vault requirements, their traditional disk to tape option. With CAB, data migration and disk to tape applications become extensions of CAB's centralized management functionality." CAB offers out-of-the-box functionality and scalability for managing content, does not require installation of vendor supplied client specific software, and complements existing corporate disk-to-tape backup procedures. In addition, the browser-based GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. allows OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customers to customize CAB for specific applications. CAB pricing starts at $2,475 MSRP MSRP Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price MSRP Message Session Relay Protocol MSRP Multi-Species Recovery Plan (US Fish & Wildlife Service) MSRP Member of the Society for Radiological Protection (UK) with competitive discounts for integrators, distributors and large users.
