LEGATO, StorageTek, LSI LOGIC STORAGE SYSTEMS COLLABORATE

LEGATO Systems Inc, a worldwide leader in enterprise storage management software solutions and services for information management, delivers NetWorker PowerSnap, a comprehensive, enterprise-class snapshot management solution that works with the SANtricity Storage Manager Snapshot technology found in StorageTek D-Series disk storage subsystems.

NetWorker PowerSnap intelligently integrates instant backup and rapid recovery via snapshots in StorageTek D-Series disk subsystems -- powered by technology from LSI Logic Storage Systems -- with traditional backup and recovery operations, managing backup to tape from snapshots as well as recovery from either snapshots or tape. NetWorker PowerSnap orchestrates the integration of customer applications and third-party snapshots to capture application data with logical and transactional consistency for faster recovery. This offers complete management of the snapshot technology across combinations of applications, servers, and operating systems, providing customers with investment protection and configuration flexibility.

"With PowerSnap, the snapshots taken by the D-Series disk subsystems are coordinated with applications running on the host," said Pierre Cousin, StorageTek vice president of Online Solutions. "PowerSnap schedules snapshots when application data is in a logically consistent and recoverable state. This management capability fits nicely with StorageTek's Information Lifecycle Management strategy as we extend the capabilities of our customers to move data from disk to tape with less management."

"The need for faster backup and rapid recovery has never been higher. LEGATO NetWorker PowerSnap provides an effective way to achieve faster backup and rapid data restoration," said Flavio Santoni, senior vice president of worldwide sales, marketing and customer services at LSI Logic Storage Systems. "As a key technology partner for StorageTek D-series storage subsystems, we're pleased to be able to facilitate a solution that provides cost effective data protection."

"LEGATO's NetWorker PowerSnap leverages synergy with StorageTek D-Series disk subsystems to provide a comprehensive solution for information protection. With NetWorker PowerSnap's open architecture, customers can have a unified heterogeneous solution that simplifies snapshot management across multiple applications, servers, operating systems and storage platforms," said Victoria Grey, vice president of information protection at LEGATO. "Our alliance with LSI Logic Storage Systems and StorageTek provides solutions that meet the formidable IT requirements of today's business environments."
