3PAR Backup & Recovery Solutions

The ChallengeCentral to any data management practice are backup and recovery. Backups must be done. Recovery plans must be real and tested. Although these processes have long been operational necessities, they continue to be complex and inefficient. Restoring data from tape is a long, slow process. And disk-based backups typically require a substantial amount of additional disk space and cost. 3PAR^® enables greater levels of availability and protection while cutting effort and expense.

Unique Solution Benefits3PAR's solutions for backup and recovery are based on a uniquely flexible and efficient copy-on-write snapshot technology. 3PAR Virtual Copy lets users affordably maximize both their recovery point and recovery time objectives.

Maintain Frequent Recovery Point Objectives	Get your business up and running faster. 3PAR Virtual Copy allows users to take hundreds of backups per base volume cost-effectively, so frequent or extended histories can be maintained. Since only the changed base volume data (or “preserved” data) is stored within the snapshot, it consumes the minimal amount of physical capacity, eliminating the need for volume-by-volume space reservations. Your business is back up and running. Learn more»
Recover Rapidly from Disk Without Paying for It	3PAR Virtual Copy automatically dedicates fine-grained capacity to snapshots from a common pool. Since only the changed base volume data (or "preserved" data) is stored within the snapshot, it consumes the minimal amount of physical capacity without space reservations. For added efficiency, preserved data can also consume physical capacity with a quality-of-service independent of the base volume (for example, different RAID levels or drive types). Learn more»
Shrink Tape Backup Windows	By backing up from snapshots, users eliminate impact on production servers and, in the case of SAN-based backups, network resources as well.
Special Integration for Mission-Critical Oracle & Exchange Databases	For Oracle and Exchange, 3PAR offers 3PAR Recovery Manager for Exchange and 3PAR Recovery Manager for Oracle, intelligent and application-aware snapshot management solutions that ensure complete and consistent snapshot sets. Point-and-click management console minimizes operator error and speeds time to recovery. For Oracle environments, additional backup integration is included with VERITAS NetBackup, providing "one-click," non-disruptive, immediate off-host backup. Learn more»
