Choosing the wrong storage causes back-up problems or, worse still, restore problems. The Databasement ‘top down' approach to storage, combined with a quality archive solution eliminates your back-up- and recovery problems. Innovations such as SnapShots in combination with application integration are essential here.

Archiving static data will shorten both back-up and restore times. The active data is subject to change and must be secured with the chosen service niveaus levels. The technology requirements and processes are decided by the amount of data and the back-up en recovery windows desired.
One of the technologies, which provides a performance boost, is back-up to disk. Through the use of de-duplication the costs can be considerably reduced, whilst at the same time a considerable retention can be built up. Using innovative replication possibilities over IP the whole back-up process can be automated, whereby the use of traditional tape can be pushed back to being a purely archive function for your back-up.
If loss of transactions is unacceptable and the impact of backups on production must be minimal, then a traditional back-up is no longer suitable and the storage platform will at the very least need to offer SnapShot technology. Our SnapShot is a full back-up without overhead or performance impact and is made within a few seconds. We can retain hundreds of SnapShots online or we can replicate them for recovery or retention. We can also back-up the same SnapShot without impacting production.
