So what will the impact of Exchange 2010 have on the archiving industry?

October 23, 2009

I’ve heard several “rumblings” from Microsoft as well as other “Archiving Solution” vendors regarding their take on Exchange 2010’s built-in archiving features.

I thought Martin over at Archiving101.com has posted a great write-up about this topic. If you are considering on waiting for Exchange 2010’s archiving capability to do your corporate archiving and E-Discovery, I’d recommend you take a look at his post.

Take care!

Symantec Declares DeDuplication Everywhere, Backup Exec, Netbackup, Enterprise Vault

July 29, 2009

A common question about Symantec’s Netbackup and Backup Exec platform are the ability to support deduplication. Netbackup has Netbackup Puredisk functionality but deduplication has been a little lacking in the Backup Exec world. Well, that will soon change.

According to this Symantec press release, the Puredisk deduplication technology will soon make it’s way into Backup Exec, Enterprise Vault and other Symantec products:
http://www.symantec.com/about/news/release/article.jsp?prid=20090707_01

Another post that I found regarding deduplication that might be useful to customers is at:
http://symantec.dciginc.com/2008/11/symantec-netbackup-takes-the-d.html

From the Press Release:
Symantec is moving deduplication closer to information sources by integrating the technology into its information management platforms: NetBackup, Backup Exec and Enterprise Vault, and centrally managing native deduplication as well as third-party deduplication appliances.

Symantec is delivering on its deduplication strategy with a multi-phased approach:

  • Integrated deduplication is available today in NetBackup and Enterprise Vault, offering deduplicated archiving, deduplicated backup storage and global deduplicated remote office backup.
  • NetBackup currently offers integrated, centralized management for third-party deduplicated storage from Data Domain, Quantum, Falconstor and EMC through the OpenStorage API.
  • NetBackup PureDisk 6.6, scheduled to be available later this year, will improve storage efficiency by adding enhanced deduplication for backups of virtual server images.
  • Backup Exec 2010, scheduled to be available later this year, will integrate deduplication (using NetBackup PureDisk technology) into both backup clients and Backup Exec media server.  Backup Exec will also add the OpenStorage API to manage third-party deduplication appliances.
  • NetBackup 7, scheduled to be available in 2010, will integrate deduplication into the backup client and NetBackup media server.

Do you need an archiving solution?

June 25, 2009

If the answer to any of these questions is “yes” you might consider implementing an e-mail or file system archiving solution:

Do you spend more time trying to get your systems backed up than you do at home with your loved ones? Do you even have loved ones at home any more?

Have you ever had a discussion with your organization’s legal team? Has it involved something other than your personal conduct?

Do the letters “PST” make you break out in sweats?

Do you regularly add capacity to your file servers because they are always out of space? Is the new capacity in the form of drives duck taped to the sides of the servers?

Have you reduced everyone’s mailbox capacity so low that the nightly “mailbox full” notifications now exceed the amount of SPAM in your system?

Do you have certain mailbox users for whom you have memorized their extension so you can avoid their calls?

Is your backup window encroaching on business hours? Your “Halo” time?
