Netgear ReadyRECOVER joined battle in the backup Appliance -
San Jose storage products, Calif.-based Netgear Inc. won good reputation on the market for small businesses by providing performance and value. Now Netgear strengthens the midsize market with a storage device based on cliché built on the new platform the company ReadyDATA. By combining the device with the software StorageCraft Technology Corp. in Draper, Utah, Netgear now promises better appliance snapshot for less money than current products in space.
Intended for businesses with 250 seats, ReadyRECOVER will bridge the gap between SMB backup appliances and NetApp and EMC units costing much more, said Matt Pahnke, senior product marketing manager at Netgear. "This line goes beyond a typical stupid box NAS disks and has tons of intelligence to manage snapshots, thin provisioning, and more. Integration [StorageCraft’s] ShadowProtect software makes this more than the sum of the two parties. "
main point Netgear sales for ReadyRECOVER is its ability to take full snapshots every 15 minutes using the storage block level incremental, but do every instant of a complete restore point . Rather than existing equipment that may need to compile weeks of incremental updates since the last restore point for full recovery, ReadyRECOVER promises to complete restorations of any and every shot. Users can restore the complete snapshot of the virtual machine, for example, or select a single folder or file. This will reduce the time and aggravation of any restoration process, no matter how small or large.
Although the equipment remains on site, Netgear supports the cloud block-level replication to its managed ReadyDATA 5200 or 516 products for disaster recovery. Customers with these units on hand can download ReadyRECOVER of licenses and add additional features. up to 360TB disk capacities are supported with expansion (the office ReadyDATA 516 tops out at 36TB with hard drives currently available). Pahnke claims that Netgear's competitors are not expandable in this way.
Any typical storage protocols (iSCSI / NFS / SMB / AFP / FTP) are supported, and the optional SSD caching improves performance. Deduplication (only the changed data is written) and real-time verification during the backup process (checksums of mismatched blocks are written and verified as correct before continuing backup) add additional layers of storage efficiency and the backup integrity.
VHDX- format backups can be restored to virtual or physical machines. Server and PC Client backups require no file conversion for restoring files, folders, Windows-based systems or data bases for any platform. All major hypervisors for Windows servers are supported.
Once you have a system appropriate ReadyDATA (5200 or 516), you must add licenses for each backup source that can be purchased directly from StorageCraft or Netgear. Each physical server, virtual server, Windows Small Business Server, and desktop / laptop PC must have a license.
Pahnke believes the new line of ReadyRECOVER will find a quick replacement of the existing house band systems still found in many companies. "There is not much new investment in the band," said Pahnke, "but guests perhaps one in three that we see ReadyRECOVER still use tape in some capacity. Globally, some regions have been slower to adopt the band replacement equipment. "
" We have the best warranties and do not require maintenance contracts, "continues Pahnke. "No one can take full backups of pictures every 15 minutes and make everyone a full restore point."
With Netgear and StorageCraft work closely, Pahnke said ReadyRECOVER makes it easier for companies to improve their backup processes still have a single point of contact. Netgear resellers provide the company with hardware and StorageCraft StorageCraft software VARs will sell the Netgear equipment
The licenses for physical servers cost $ 979 each .; Virtual servers are $ 369 each. PC client licenses are $ 94.99 (estimated retail price). The software includes a free trial period of 30 days. price of the system includes a 5-year warranty limited hardware, 24x7 technical support for life, and 5 years, replacing the company the next day.
