A full range of tape
backup and disaster recovery solutions permit
users to match capacities, performance and
features to their own needs for protecting
vital data and strengthening disaster recovery
strategies.
GST’s tape
solutions use AIT, DAT72, LTO, sAIT, sDLT,
and SLR tape technologies and are organized
into families by type of solution.
– Disaster Recovery strategies
are strengthened with a Mirrored Backup
function that simultaneously produces
identical sets of tape cartridges with
no performance penalty; this permits off-site
storage of one backup set for DR purposes
and on-site storage of the other set for
rapid restore.
–GST’s
Virtual Library Partitioning provides
up to 16 partitions in a single 16-drive
library to consolidate the backup of up
to 16 servers.
– Modular design of single/dual
subsystems and libraries permits adding
drives, cartridge slots, functionality
and upgrading tape technologies; field-upgrades
preserve investment in the originally
installed GST units.
– Support
of all leading tape technologies protects
investment in media; newer technology
generations are both backward-read and
forward-read compatible.
– LCD
Operator Panel continuously displays the
status of the drive and job; library robotic
conditions also reported.
– Internal attachment
of AIT single drives that installs with
most servers results in a high degree
of integration, eliminating high connection
costs and simplifying drive containment.
– RS232 interface
on both tape and library controllers enables
applying firmware updates and optimizing
drive performance.
– Desktop enclosures
offer light weight and small footprints
to conserve valuable datacenter space.
–A wide variety
of servers are supported with LVD (low
voltage differential), HVD (high voltage
differential) and FC (fibre channel) connections.
– A variety of
support programs provides installation
and onsite service; includes GST’s
Accelerated Ship Program (GASP) to get
replacement units on the scene rapidly.
– Purchase price includes a built-in
manufacturer’s warranty of three
years. Extended coverage is available.
