HP D2D Backup Systems Struggling with complex, distributed, and costly data protection? You need a disk-based backup system that delivers leading price-performance, deduplicates backup data, and automatically consoliates multiple servers into a single backup process.The HP D2D Backup Systems with HP StoreOnce deduplication provide disk-based data protection for data centers and remote offices. Automate and consolidate the backup of multiple servers onto a single, rack-mountable device while improving reliability by reducing errors caused by media handling. All HP D2D Backup Systems feature HP StoreOnce deduplication software for efficient, longer term data retention on disk and enabling network efficient replication for a cost-effective way of transmitting data off-site for disaster recovery purposes. The D2D Backup Systems integrate seamlessly into your current IT environment and offer you the flexibility of both virtual tape library and NAS targets.Features and BenefitsAllow you to retain daily backup data on disk, providing ready access to backupsets for rapid restoresHands-free daily backup Consolidate the backup of multiple serverRetain typically 20 timesmore backup data on diskData replicationScalabilitySeamlessly integrates intocurrent environmentSupports remote managementDirect or network attachto tape for tape archiveHP StoreOnce deduplication    

Shared Internal StorageShared Internal Storage is a ground breaking concept in the world of shared storage. Traditionally, shared storage – be it NAS or SAN – is made of an external array accessed by a network. NAS and SAN have both their benefits and their drawbacks. Each of them has their preferred use.Seanodes offers a whole new way to share storage: SIS – Shared Internal Storage.Introducing the Shared Internal Storage ConceptShared Internal Storage allows users to share disks and arrays directly attached to, or embedded in servers as if they were part of an external array.You already know and appreciate the benefits of NAS, SAN and DAS. SIS takes the best elements of all three to give ultimate user satisfaction.Shared Internal Storage: The BenefitsUnique on the market, Exanodes converts unused internal disks and Direct Attached Storage (DAS) into a shared storage array – Shared Internal Storage (SIS).This Shared Internal Storage (SIS) is:Efficient due to a high level of parallelism.Reliable owing to the implementation of our unique RAIN feature (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Nodes) which adapts the RAID philosophy to nodes architecture.User Friendly as virtualization features incorporated in Exanodes allow the user to easily and efficiently manage a shared storage area (eg. resize, destruct, migrate a volume, etc.).This SIS is viewed by applications as a traditional external shared array and can be either implemented alone or as a complement to traditional external storage (SAN or NAS) in order to alleviate their restrictions (performance, capacity, network bandwidth).Storage investments can be drastically reduced as Shared Internal Storage allows users to utilize underused disks. This is especially true in cluster and blade server architecture where the unused internal disk capacity can amount to 20-30 TB.Shared Internal Storage: Preferred useShared Internal Storage is perfectly adapted to commoditized architectures such as clusters or blade servers because of their potential internal disk capacity.Considering their extensive use of commoditized servers and their growing need for vast storage capacity SIS is the ideal solution for High Performance Computing applications (HPC) and Hosted Services infrastructures. SIS is also the only solution that can equally satisfy their need for high performance storage (bandwidth and I/O).Shared Internal Storage is equally advantageous in development & test environments where there is a huge need for simple, low level shared storage but where key decision makers are typically reluctant to invest in expensive, traditional, over-featured, shared storage solutions.Exanodes: A first step into the world of Shared Internal StorageExanodes is the first application which allows you to efficiently share commoditized servers’ internal or directly attached storageThe standard dilemma has been where to find more storage capacity. Exanodes reveals that this storage space already exists and makes it easy for the user to access.
