| Part of
the StorageTek® Virtual Power Suite™, SnapShot software
allows you to replicate data in seconds - without
increasing disk space capacity. It provides as many
copies as you need - instantly. |
| |
|
Applications |
Application development and testing
SnapShot software can be used with V-Series SVA disk
systems to create instant, capacity-free test copies
without disrupting online data use. |
Backup
and restore
SnapShot software creates backup copies on V-Series
SVA disk systems in seconds. Backup data can later
be moved to tape storage. |
Disk
mirroring
SnapShot software can be implemented with V-Series
Shared Virtual Array® (SVA™) disk systems for
non-disruptive, no-capacity data mirroring
configurations in MVS and Open Systems environments. |

Benefits |
Immediate
availability
Data is ready to share immediately after a "snap" is
taken |
Cost
saver
Costs for CPU and channel utilization associated
with data movement drop significantly. You can make
as many copies as needed without the cost of
traditional copying. |
Space
saver
SnapShot software makes instantaneous backups of
your data without using additional physical storage;
no additional hardware needed. |
|
| |
|
Features |
Enterprise solution
Because SnapShot connects to both OS/390 and Open
Systems environments, virtual storage can be
extended across your entire enterprise. |
Easy
integration
SnapShot integrates seamlessly with products from
IBM, Innovation Data Processing, BMC Software and
others. |
Non-disruptive
Replication tasks are performed non-disruptively,
saving hours in batch processing time, and enabling
you to gain hours of availability for key
applications each day. |
