Virtual Tape Library Disk Based Network Backup and Disaster Recovery

miSAN^® V Series and iSAN^® V Series
High Performance Disk Based Virtual Tape Library Solutions for Backup and Disaster Recovery

A Cybernetics Virtual Tape Library disk based network backup solution is ideal for IT professionals confronted with the task of implementing and managing centralized, shared backup and archival capabilities.

Through the use of onboard Ethernet connections and the iSCSI protocol, it is now possible to install a virtual tape library disk based backup device at one location to serve as the backup target for multiple heterogeneous hosts spread across a building or at multiple sites. 

Independent Cybernetics virtual tape library disk based network backup solutions installed at remote locations can even serve as off-site backup for each other. Cybernetics virtual tape library network backup solutions offer the flexibility to define multiple virtual tape backup drives and libraries within one central backup solution, making them visible to hosts across the network for direct access to dedicated, independent virtual tape library backup systems. For example, it is possible to define multiple virtual tape library solutions, each with its’ own virtual tape drive, and simultaneously backup to these virtual devices from multiple independent hosts.

With the capability of Cybernetics' iClient to make practically any host iSCSI compliant, it is possible to share the virtual library disk based backup among many heterogeneous hosts. The need to maintain multiple physical tape backup drives of varying formats is completely eradicate.

Compression Module to Address the Explosive Growth Demands of Unstructured Data

Compression Module to Address the Explosive Growth Demands of Unstructured Data for

Cloud Computing, Social Media and Mobile Apps

IceWEB, Inc.™ (OTCBB: IWEB), a leading provider of Unified Data Storage and building blocks for cloud storage networks, announced today that all IceWEB Storage platforms now include IceWEB Level 10 (L10) compression for enterprise data. IceWEB customers can now choose between 10 levels of compression based on performance and capacity needs. This feature coupled with our De-duplication, thin provisioning and linked clone technology makes IceWEB a leader in storage efficiency technology.

More than 15 petabytes of new data is being created every day (Computerworld, 1/29/2011) and most of this new data is not the structured database records of yesteryear. Instead it’s unstructured web pages, digitized images, graphics, maps, CAD, and multi-media voice and video. In fact, IDC reports that 80 percent of new enterprise data today is unstructured. “With the explosive growth of computer storage being experienced by most companies, IT organizations are looking for ways to provide the storage capacity their applications need without having to endlessly purchase more and more hardware,” said John R. Signorello, IceWEB CEO. “The IceWEB Storage System offers an innovative collection of ‘storage efficiency’  technologies that together dramatically reduce your physical storage requirements while still giving your servers, applications and users the capacity and performance they need. Our customers asked us to compress unstructured data. L10 meets those demands.”

Virtual Environments

A virtualized server infrastructure offers a wide range of flexibility and reliability advantages to environments of all sizes, but in order to make the most of the virtual infrastructure, you need shared storage. Features such as live migration of virtual machines require a shared storage pool, but the advantages of using shared storage in a virtual environment run much deeper.

Supporting a virtual server environment with shared storage:

• Simplifies management of the environment
• Provides the data availability required for a virtualized environment
• Enables efficient backup

Centralize storage and VM management tasks with the IceWEB Storage System. The all-inclusive storage management feature set combined with IceWEB's VM Manager -- a unified management console for controlling all storage-related aspects of a virtualized infrastructure for VMware ESX, Citrix Xen, and Microsoft Hyper-V environments – is a perfect complement to your virtual server environment. VM Manager simplifies day-to-day operations by centralizing all the following storage functions:

Database Storage - Unified

Databases are at the core of many of the services that run a business, from online transaction systems to back-end inventory. The storage behind the database is critical to ensuring good performance and data availability.

The IceWEB Storage System offers a number of features that make it ideal to support your block data:

• Drive Flexibility: Choose from SAS or SSD drives, depending on your performance requirements.
• Inter-connect Flexibility: Choose iSCSI or Fibre Channel, whichever fits in your environment.
• Centralized Management: Centralize the management of all your block data, as well as your file data, to avoid the complexities of managing storage directly attached to your servers.
• Scalability: Reduce the amount of downtime required to add disk, plus gain the ability to scale up to 480 TBs using affordable disk enclosures.
• Efficient Backup: Move to a centralized, unified storage solution such as the IceWEB Storage System to take advantage of unlimited snapshots and cloning, which can then be backed up without impacting the database servers.
• Disaster Recovery: Take advantage of local or remote, real-time or scheduled replication to simplify the process of moving your data to another facility for safekeeping.
• Complete Data Protection: Rest easy with hot-pluggable drives and power supplies, built-in support for RAID-Z (RAID-5), RAID-Z2 (RAID-6), & RAID-Z3 (triple parity), automatic error correction to ensure data integrity, and integrated block-level data de-duplication to optimize your storage utilization.
