Fujitsu Integrates ETERNUS CS800 with Symantec OST NetBackup

Fujitsu has yesterday announced the validated integration of the Fujitsu ETERNUS CS800 deduplication data protection appliance with Symantec NetBackup, via the Symantec OpenStorage (OST) Application Programming Interface (API) to provide customers with more flexible options for disk-based backup

A new entry-level ETERNUS CS model, the ETERNUS CS800, targeted at mid-market customers, also joins the line-up.

With a growing number of medium-sized businesses making the switch from tape to disk-based backup , the tighter integration of the ETERNUS CS800 with Symantec NetBackup will provide medium-sized enterprise customers with a powerful disk-based backup solution that is also flexible and easy-to manage.

Symantec NetBackup is especially suited to organizations needing to back up large amounts of data in the shortest possible timeframe.
The Data de-duplication technology makes faster disk backup technology affordable allowing organisations gain efficiencies within their dynamic infrastructures through shrinking their backup windows by switching to disk backup, a faster mode of data protection than tape, and by enhancing tape backup strategies with selected disk backup for vital data.

Deduplication also delivers the added benefits of reducing network bandwidth for remote replication, in addition to cutting the risk of running out of disk space, by making only a single backup copy of data that exists in multiple instances.

This development is another building block in Fujitsu’s Efficient Data Protection portfolio for medium -sized and large enterprises, which enables customers to create, implement and maintain future-proofed dynamic infrastructures tailored to their data protection needs.

Fujitsu’s ETERNUS CS deduplication technology lowers holistic backup costs, because customers can reduce typical disk storage capacity requirements by 90 percent or more, and enjoy savings on removable tape media administration costs.

The Fujitsu ETERNUS CS800 data protection appliance with deduplication can be fully managed by Symantec NetBackup, thanks to the introduction of the OST API. This allows for faster backups to the ETERNUS CS800 as well as the options of storing to tape for longer-term retention requirements, and replication to another system for disaster protection.

As a result, medium-size customers with data-intensive operations can now manage their data protection more easily and intelligently by tiering backup data according to importance and retention requirements. Centralized ETERNUS CS800 management via NetBackup also reduces administration, and the native interface provides for faster backups than using NAS.

The ETERNUS CS800 together with NetBackup via the OST interface is an incredibly powerful combination of class-leading technologies that really deliver a performance edge.

Company claims that the strategic alliance between Fujitsu and Symantec focuses on helping both companies joint customers reduce complexity and improve performance. NetBackup, in combination with Fujitsu’s ETERNUS CS800 will provide customers with a powerful, easy-to-manage disk-based data protection solution without sacrificing advanced functionality.
