Sun Microsystems Group to Resell PDC'S BudTool.KING OF PRUSSIA King of Prussia, industrialized suburban area (1990 pop. 18,406), Montgomery co., SE Pa. It has glass and steel fabricating, food processing, printing and publishing, and varied manufacturing (textiles, liquified petroleum gas, water-treatment and electrical , Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 3, 1997--Sun Microsystems'(R) Special Products Group (SPG SPG - System Program Generator. A compiler-writing language. ["A System Program Generator", D. Morris et al, Computer J 13(3) (1970)]. ) has agreed to resell PDC's BudTool(R) backup management software in the U.K., it was announced recently. The agreement also includes PDC's BudTool Live and BudTurbo software. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Alan Rice, Special Products Group Technical Manager, "We evaluated several leading backup software See backup program. (tool, software) backup software - Software for doing a backup, often included as part of the operating system. Backup software should provide ways to specify what files get backed up and to where. products before selecting PDC's solution. BudTool was selected due to it's ability to efficiently handle our high performance backup devices, and due to the BudTool Live database backup utility." BudTool is a high performance network backup and retrieval management tool. It backs up data in a non-proprietary tape format using industry-standard UNIX utilities This is a list of UNIX utilities as specified by IEEE Std 1003.1-2004, which is part of the Single UNIX Specification (SUS). These utilities can be found on UNIX Operating systems and most UNIX-like operating systems. List IEEE Std 1003. . This allows companies to retrieve the image from the backup media, without a file history database or catalog, using only the standard UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). commands which are bundled with the Operating System operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. . BudTool has the smallest file history database in the industry, so companies can back up and restore terabytes of data quickly and reliably. Complementing BudTool are two backup utilities from PDC (1) (Primary Domain Controller) A Windows NT/2000 service that manages security for its local domain. Every domain has one PDC, which contains a database of usernames, passwords and permissions. , BudTool Live and BudTurbo. BudTool Live ensures safe, live backups without locking out users, without risking data loss, and without corrupting backups. BudTurbo is the first backup utility for UNIX file servers that can safely do high-speed level 0 backups of local data and is still the only way to take advantage of higher performance tape drives. BudTurbo lets companies back up large servers during the ever shrinking backup window. According to George Wilson George Wilson is a human name, and may refer to:
BudTool, BudTool Live and BudTurbo will be available immediately from Sun's Special Products Group. BudTool is hosted on the Solaris platform and supports all SPG tape units, and many single drives. ABOUT BUDTOOL BudTool, a leading backup management tool for enterprise networks, automates backup for a year or more. It offers sophisticated features designed to meet the needs of large-scale network computing environments, including unlimited network growth, high volume data cataloging, tape jukebox robotics control and scheduling automation. With unique media management capabilities, BudTool also enables corporations to implement proper media policies, such as media rotation, media retirement and tape duplication for off-site storage. BudTool requires no client-side software to install and maintain, resulting in both cost and time savings. Since PDC licenses only the media server, the cost per seat actually diminishes as a network grows. ABOUT PDC PDC is a leading provider of products and services for open systems networks. The company develops storage management software including BudTool, the industry's leading high-end backup product. PDC co-developed the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP (Network Data Management Protocol) An open standard for backing up data in a heterogeneous environment. Developed by Network Appliance and IntelliGuard Software, NDMP uses a common data format which is written to and read from drivers for the specific disk and ) an industry standard which enables centralized management of enterprise-wide network data while minimizing network traffic. PDC answers the needs of computer professionals for sophisticated UNIX solutions that include training and on-site engineering support. For additional information, contact PDC at 800/654-4732.
