According to IDC survey of IT managers across companies of all shapes and sizes, the most compelling issue of storage administration is "backup efficiency". In particular, a majority required both "backup" and "restore" time reductions as shown in the figure below. The driving force behind this also appears clear, and that is the growth in operational data requiring backup.

Now the backup/recovery and administration functions of ETERNUS2000 can resolve those issues.

High-speed backup functions now available with entry-level models

Fujitsu's Advanced Copy function has been highly regarded by users of large ETERNUS storage systems. Those same high efficiency functions have been built into ETERNUS2000. This means, with ETERNUS2000, small to medium sized companies and storage installations now have access to the same efficient high-speed backup/restore functions, used by major enterprises.

Flexible, the Advanced Copy function provides a range of options that allow you to choose according to your system's requirements.

For example, One Point Copy (OPC) let's you start a backup at any timing of your choosing. It can even be performed while operational processes keep running. Now you have the flexible scheduling and non-stop business environment previously only available using expensive and more complex system environments. Importantly the Advance Copy function puts very little overhead on your network or servers. So when we say "can be operated while systems remain operational" we also mean "operating as normal without noticeable degradation of user service."

ETERNUS SF Recovery Manager for Oracle means easy recovery from unexpected data problems

Many IT managers have concerns about recovery of Oracle databases. This is because it typically requires complex procedures and analysis to ensure correct recovery following any unexpected data problem. This process also requires high levels of skilled administrators.

In order to eliminate these concerns Fujitsu has developed ETERNUS SF Recovery Manager for Oracle. It works hand in hand Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) to backup and restore data while maintaining consistency of data files, control files and archive logs.

Procedures previously considered complex can now be completed in just two mouse clicks, via an interactive operator panel. The result is quick and secure recovery without need for highly skilled operator intervention.

The speed of backup and recovery is also guaranteed by use of the Advanced Copy function in the ETERNUS storage systems which removes load from servers and enables the high-speed backup/recovery.

ETERNUS2000 supports your backup management with simple to use high-speed capabilities that guarantee consistent operation and save you money.
