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) storage software and hardware, are designed to help small to medium size businesses (SMBs) manage their data. "SMBs are a fast growing and often underserved market, especially in terms of backup and disaster recovery," said Ellen Rome, STORServer vice president of sales and marketing. "Our new EZ Backup Appliance bundles IBM's leading hardware and software technology to provide an affordable, reliable solution that is easy to implement and maintain while providing a sophisticated feature set appropriate to SMBs' growing needs." The new line of EZ Backup Appliances, available in both entry-level and high-end scalable models are effective storage solutions for SMBs that typically have smaller budgets and fewer employees armed with the necessary skills to deal with complex IT management issues. Pre-configured with hardware and software necessary for backup, archive and disaster recovery, the appliance contains IBM's latest in data protection technologies, including disk and tape storage such as the new IBM TotalStorage TS3310 Tape Library. The STORServer EZ Backup Appliance leverages IBM Tivoli Storage Manager “ADSM” redirects here. For the stock exchange, see Abu Dhabi Securities Market.

Multiple appliances can be installed and managed from one interface for customers that have more data or that need to distribute their recovery storage management. Each appliance comes with a 3-year warranty that provides a single point of contact for technical support. Backup and disaster recovery is a top concern for SMBs and large organizations alike, said Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG ESG Enterprise Strategy Group (Veritas) ESG Emergency Shelter Grant (Florida, USA) ESG Expeditionary Strike Group ESG Electronic Service Guide (used in DVB) ) Analyst Heidi Biggar. She credits STORServer with creating a solution for SMBs that is both affordable and simple to manage. "The problem is SMBs generally lack the necessary resources - people, dollars, and technology - to attack the backup and recovery problem at its root," Biggar said. "Historically, SMBs have either tried to 'fix' the problem with enterprise backup solutions, which tend to be too unwieldy and expensive for their needs, or have ignored the problem all together. What SMBs want - and need - are easy-to-use, scalable and integrated solutions. The STORServer Appliance fits this bill nicely and takes the guesswork out of data protection." Also announced today, STORServer's EZ "Entry" Backup Appliance provides a low cost, reliable disk-to-disk backup solution for up to two terabytes of data. The EZ "Entry" Backup Appliance integrates IBM's new Tivoli Storage Manager Express, automated backup and recovery software designed specifically for small and mid-sized businesses.

Two scalable entry appliances are available - one for customers with less than one terabyte of data and the other designed to accommodate up to two terabytes of storage.
