Quantum's Encryption Key Manager (Q-EKM) is a centralized key manager application that manages the encryption keys used as part of the LTO Ultrium 4 (LTO-4) drive-based data encryption process. 

Businesses today face unrelenting data growth. IT staffs are struggling to ensure data availability under tight fiscal constraints. The unreliability and intensive management of traditional tape-based backup has forced backup administrators to create manual, error-prone processes in order to protect their data. Concentric has the solution! 

Data de-duplication has been described as the next evolutionary step in backup technology. Many vendors lay claim to the best data de-duplication approach, leaving customers to face the difficulty of separating hype from reality. This document provides the background information required to make an informed data de-duplication purchasing decision. 

The company’s previous tape system wasn’t meeting Cornerstone’s needs, particularly with 50 percent annual data growth. Cornerstone selected the Quantum Scalar i500 intelligent tape library platform due to its modularity, speed and the ability to move to LTO-4 tapes. 

In this very funny though obvious over-dramatization of the weakness of tape as a backup solution, see how tape can end the life of an IT administrator and a 30-minute fix that could be lifesaving. 

Disk-based backup systems fundamentally change the way we do backup and recovery. But the key is to treat disk as disk and not as tape. Solutions need to recognize the intelligent features of disk and take advantage of those features. This webcast explores how to leverage the advantages of disk for best possible backup performance and maximum ROI. 

This whitepaper describes how mainframe users can effectively switch from physical tape (or hybrid disk/tape) to a modern mainframe Virtual Tape solution with Data Domain deduplication storage. 

Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 is designed to provide continuous data protection for Windows-based servers, with additional features for business-specific Microsoft workloads such as SQL Server and SharePoint. 

This whitepaper explores the limitations of tape and traditional disk-based approaches to disaster recovery. It highlights the advantages of deduplication technology in disk-to-disk backup and wide area network (WAN) replication. It also discusses the positive implications of deduplication for remote office backup and tape consolidation. 

Every company with multiple locations has the challenge of managing backup data across different sites, media types, and retention periods for short term protection and long term retention. View this webcast to learn about a new consolidated approach to solving this problem by combining disk, deduplication, and tape storage systems. 

Facing exponential data growth and lengthening backup times, Victaulic Company's tape backup systems could no longer provide the performance or capacity they needed for efficient data protection. For a cost comparable to tape, Victaulic Company implemented a SEPATON S2100-ES2 virtual tape library (VTL) with DeltaStor data deduplication software. 

Superior order management can be a competitive edge across the board, improving customer satisfaction and retention as well as your bottom line and top line.
