Universal Data Protection Made Smarter with Syncsort DPX

A single unified solution making backup and disaster recovery smarter, faster, and more efficient across physical, virtual and cloud environments

Faced with massive data growth and increased use of virtualization, organizations are struggling with outdated, costly data protection technologies that no longer work as needed. The NSB solution combines Syncsort DPX software with high-efficiency NetApp storage to deliver a modernized data protection architecture that eliminates backup window challenges, restores data and applications in minutes, while unifying backup and disaster recovery into a single, easy to use solution.

NSB Makes Data Protection Smarter!

Syncsort NSB modernizes data protection through highly efficient snapshot and replication technology, integration with VMware and applications, resulting in dramatically faster backup and recovery operations.

Challenged by data growth and virtualization, legacy backup solutions are failing to keep pace. By joining together Syncsort DPX software with NetApp high-efficiency storage, the NSB solution modernizes data protection through innovative, highly efficient technology that shrinks backup time and impact, recovers data and applications in minutes, and dramatically reduces the time and costs associated with protecting critical systems.

Rapid, Low Impact Data Backup

NSB uses a smarter approach to backing up your data by moving each block of data only once. The result? A 90% reduction in the time and impact of backup, eliminating backup window pressures while relieving applications and networks from the stress of moving large amounts of data every day.
 
Backups that took hours now complete in minutes, letting you protect applications multiple times per day for improved Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
 
Reduced backup impact means more system resources for your critical applications. This is especially important in virtual environments where resources are shared across multiple systems. Application aware backups ensure that full system and application data are captured every time a backup runs.

Making Use of Snapshots for Rapid Recovery

With data recovery, speed and reliability are of primary importance. Nothing delivers both better than highly-efficient NetApp snapshots.
 
NSB uses NetApp snapshot technology to recover data from any primary storage. By using snapshots, data can be recovered in minutes with a few mouse-clicks.  Recovery options span file, volume (e.g. database), application or server (physical and virtual).
 
Syncsort integrates snapshots with VMware for Instant Virtualization™ recovery: any backup – physical or virtual -- can spin up as a live virtual machine in under ten minutes for application recovery in record time.
 
When a physical server is required, any NSB backup can provide rapid, easy-to-use Bare Metal Restore. Systems can be back online in thirty minutes or less, even when restored to different hardware.

Built-in Replication for Disaster Recovery

NSB combines local backup with data replication for a fully integrated Disaster Recovery solution. By using efficient and reliable NetApp SnapMirror™ technology to replicate backup images to an alternate location, NSB delivers a truly unified solution that replaces multiple complex and costly data protection point solutions.
 
Recovery operations are run the same way both locally and remotely, allowing staff to remain familiar with recovery workflows without the need for additional training. DR testing can be run non-intrusively at any time to validate off-site data recovery

A Fundamentally Different Backup Architecture

NSB re-invents the conventional backup model by removing the need for a media or device server sitting in front of target disk storage.
 
Because Syncsort DPX software makes unique use of the NetApp Data ONTAP® operating system, clients can send backup data directly to the disk target without any servers in the data path. This highly efficient data protection architecture removes an entire server layer from the design, making backup less complex and more reliable.
 
Further, the NetApp disk target used by NSB is multi-purpose storage hardware, which can be used for both data protection and primary storage services, such as file sharing. It is easily scalable and upgradeable without the need for a forklift, rip-and-replace upgrade, providing long-term cost savings.

Divider

Easy to Use, Easy to Maintain

The largest hidden cost of data protection is operations: the day-to-day management and troubleshooting of the many different tools used to back up, restore and replicate data.  Most organizations have full-time personnel devoted exclusively to monitoring the backup and disaster recovery environment.
 
NSB lets you work smarter! By combining an easy-to-use, intuitive interface with a simplified architecture that includes disaster recovery capabilities, NSB replaces multiple point products. Tight management integration with NetApp means backup operators don’t need to be storage experts.  And unlike other products, NSB doesn’t require months of training and experience to master.
 
Our users repeatedly state that the reliable and efficient NSB backup model frees up IT staff to work on other projects.
