Sun has released the following options for Solstice Backup 6.0:

• Storage Nodes for distributed backup/restore: Storage Node allows distributed backup as they support putting a tape drive, autoloader, or library on a remote server. This lessens the traffic on the network as the remote server will backup to a locally attached tape unit rather than sending the data to the backup server. (Storage nodes are clients running Solaris with the added privilege of directly backing up to attached tapes. Only control of the backup and recovery operations occurs over the LAN from an SBU Network or Power Edition server running the Solaris Operating Environment.)

• Cluster Clients for connection to clusters: Cluster Clients allows co-existence with a cluster on the specified host environments.

• Edition Upgrades for growing installations: Edition upgrades allow one to move to a more powerful server or backup network (more clients, more streams).

• Autoloader Upgrades for growing tape libraries: Autochanger upgrades allow one to move to a larger autoloader of one with more tape drives.

Solstice Backup 6.0 software is targeted at professional IT operations staff that handle the backup, restore, and disaster recovery tasks for Sun customers.

Customers with growing data capacities will be interested in the upgrades (editions or autochanges) as well as the storage nodes which provide distributed backup while maintaining centralized control. [...read more...]
