Seven Effective Strategies For Data Protection
Every enterprise must protect its data. Network Attached Storage (NAS) implementations and Storage Area Networks (SANs) have become popular schemes for data management. They must be considered carefully in your data protection plan.
Backup Express, Syncsort's high-performance backup and restore solution, advances virtually all NAS and SAN strategies. Backup Express supports Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP), which is required for communicating with NAS appliances; Direct Access Recovery (DAR), which substantially accelerates NDMP restores; and Backup Express SAN Resource Sharing (SRS), which dynamically allocates tape resources in a SAN.
Understanding the benefits and drawbacks of the seven NAS/SAN topologies reviewed in this guide will help you optimize your network design in accordance with your precise data protection needs.
