Symantec and Hitachi Data Systems have a worldwide, strategic
partnership. For Hitachi Data Systems, data protection is about
optimizing operational resilience and efficiency as well as assisting
organizations with their compliance and e-discovery requirements.
Together with Symantec, Hitachi Data Systems is building powerful and
pragmatic solutions that span the needs of Fortune 1000® enterprises as
well as small and medium businesses (SMBs).
As leaders in worldwide Microsoft Windows data protection and recovery, Symantec and Hitachi Data Systems have partnered to deliver the Backup Exec 12 for Windows Servers — an Off-host Backup Solution for Hitachi Simple Modular Storage, Workgroup Modular Storage and Adaptable Modular Storage systems.
This jointly certified solution integrates Symantec Backup Exec 12 for Windows Servers and the Advanced Disk-based Backup Option with Hitachi ShadowImage® Replication software and the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) hardware provider. This creates a solution that eliminates backup windows, reduces the performance load on application servers and quickly brings applications back online.
Leveraging Microsoft’s prescribed VSS technologies built into Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and 2003, Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2008, this solution performs backup operations on supported Hitachi Fibre Channel and iSCSI storage systems and storage area networks.
Minimize the cost and complexity of data protection and ensure greater business continuity by implementing a solution that unifies desktop, remote office and data center data protection across the entire enterprise. Veritas NetBackup centralizes the management and operations of backup and recovery and provides organizations with the tools and information they need to manage data in complex, heterogeneous environments.
Operating with Hitachi storage systems, NetBackup delivers integrated data protection and recovery for virtual environments, critical applications, databases and servers across a range of UNIX, Linux and NetWare environments. NetBackup provides a single platform to manage, protect and recover data across storage tiers, locations and operating systems. Its advanced disk-based data protection features include data de-duplication, new virtual tape library (VTL) controls support for third-party disk appliances and more snapshot capabilities.
Symantec Enterprise Vault captures e-mails and files in a vaulted repository in an entirely automated fashion. It then sets policies to retain data for desired periods of time using sophisticated classification engines. These retention policies are enforced by the Hitachi Content Archive Platform at the storage layer. The Hitachi Content Archive Platform is designed to complement Enterprise Vault -- offering a scalable active-archive solution and ensuring protection of Enterprise Vault data through proactive authentication, storage-level RAID, and offsite replication. The Hitachi Content Archive Platform’s data encryption provides complete security of this critical data.
Combined with WORM (Write Once, Read Many) capability, Enterprise Vault and the Hitachi Content Archive Platform offer a robust solution for corporate compliance and e-discovery -- from policy-based retention to quick search and retrieval to destruction of data at the appropriate time. Also, by offloading older, unchanging mailbox content to the Content Archive Platform, this solution can dramatically decrease backup times and increase e-mail server performance.
The Hitachi Content Archive Platform and Symantec Enterprise Vault have been certified to work together by both the Symantec STEP certification process and the Hitachi Content Archive Platform ISV Certification program. When combined, they offer a complete, proven solution for e-mail and file archiving.
