The reliability and performance of ATTO FibreBridgeTM products make them an ideal choice for Computer Associates' mission-critical backup and restore applications in Enterprise-level SAN environments.
Serverless backup (also known as SNIA Extended Copy and XCOPY) addresses the needs of corporations for full time information availability and a zero time backup windows by relegating all backup related tasks to the SAN. As the name implies, serverless backup entails backing up data directly from primary storage to secondary storage without placing a load on the server itself.
*Although this demo illustrates BrightStor™ ARCserve® Backup Serverless Backup Option / BrightStor™ Enterprise Backup Serverless Option, the ATTO FibreBridge™ ATTO FibreBridge product line is also certified with all BrightStor Enterprise and BrightStore ARCserve Enterprise.
Benefits of Solution:
Leveraging the integration between the Serverless Backup Options of CA's BrightStor Enterprise Backup and BrightStor ARCserve Backup solutions with ATTO Technology's FibreBridge product line, customers further reduce the bandwidth requirements of storage backup processes, thereby increasing the availability of finite CPU utilization for other business-critical needs.
