Infortrend Backup and Recovery Solution Brief
Market overview
Challenges
For the past few year, factors such as exponential data growth and the need for near real-time data protection have driven organizations to abandon legacy tape-based backups for more current solutions. Gone are the days of nightly backups. For the few that still carry them out, these nightly backups are being supplemented with additional data protection measures that offer more frequent data protection and faster restores. For this reason, the scope of enterprise backup has expanded to include server-virtualized environments, massive databases, remote/branch offices, desktops and tablets protection.
With such enterprise backup scope expansions, come potential risks to business operations, so it's important to consider redesigning your backup to improve efficiency, data security, and system stability.
Challenge What you NeedThe Solution
The volume of data continues to increase, but the time and budget allotted to backup data has already hit its limit.
Data Protection
Data generated from various sources, such as different devices, locations, or virtual machines increase the complexity of data integrity and management.
A widely scalable high-throughput storage system to reduce backup windows, and the cost of purchasing another storage system to meet capacity requirements.
An intelligent and reliable system that ensures data protection to prevent disk failures.
A Backup software that centralizes your backup activities, simplifies backup management and ensures data integrity.

High-Throughput Storage System with Wide
Scalability
In this new era of backup and recovery, storage solutions demand
large or highly scalable capacity and the ability to process the large
throughput that comes with it. Infortrend EonStor DS 1000 series
storage systems are capable of scaling up to 360 drives via
expansion closures, future-proofing storage growth. Its sequential
throughput performance reaches 5,500MB/s read and 1,900 MB/s
write, which provides speed and stability to your backup and
recovery process. Moreover, with hybrid host connectivity, EonStor
DS 1000 fits into a varierty of working environments, handling your
backup activities as well as other throughput intensive applications
at the same time.
Redundant Hardware with Green Design
When it comes to backup storage, system reliability is a major
concern. To guarantee our product quality, all our products are
designed and manufactured in house. Moreover, Infortrend EonStor
DS 1000 series storage systems feature redundant controllers, fans,
and power supplies, which ensure 99.9999% of availability. EonStor
DS 1000 also offers green design, with automatic drive and fan spin
down that minimizes redundant energy consumption, achieving
high-availability and lowering power costs.
Intelligent Data Recovery
Effective backup systems need to also be “smart” to ensure data
protection and deliver true reliability. EonStor DS 1000's Intelligent
Drive Recovery (IDR) feature uses our unique media-scan
technology to auto-recover data in the case of drive failure.
Furthermore, IDR provides Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting
Technology (S.M.A.R.T.), to detect potential risks of drive failure,
and to clone at risk data to spare drives in advance to reduce the
workload on rebuild actions during disk failure.
rdCompatibility with 3 party Backup Software
Last but not least, the right backup storage solution has to be
compatible with the backup software that meets your service
level objectives. To offer a wide range of compatibility options,
