Protect your Data with VERITAS and QLogic
VERITAS and QLogic realize that a company’s data is likely its most
critical asset. Indeed, most IT departments agree, and have come to
the conclusion that a costeffective and efficient backup strategy must
be put into place to protect vital business information. By establishing
state-of-the-art hardware and software protection VERITAS and
QLogic provide effective SAN strategies that reduce the chance of
data loss and business failure.
A SAN —only as strong as its weakest link — is a separate network
dedicated to storage, enabling disk and tape storage to be isolated
from the LAN. A complete SAN solution includes hardware, software
and networking components that provide any-to-any interconnection
of server and storage elements. SANs link multiple storage systems
and servers over a secure, high-speed network that is datacentric
rather than server-centric.
Three vital components compose the VERITAS-QLogic complete solution.
VERITAS NetBackup automates all aspects of backup, recovery and
automated system restore, centralizing management of storage
resources. To dynamically share tape drives and perform zero-
•
impact backups of business critical systems, NetBackup Shared
Storage Option and NetBackup ServerFree Agent leverage a high
per forming SAN infrastructure.
QLogic’s Award-winning QLogic SANblade 2Gb Fibre Channel
HBAs offer high performance for demanding storage area
networks (SANs) and are available in PCIX form factor, which
is backward- compatible to PCI. QLogic SANblade HBAs are
the industry’s highest-performing and most widely deployed
host adapter solutions for server, networking, storage and
clustering solutions.
QLogic’s SANbox2-64 modular fabric switch provides all the benefits
of edge and Director technology — high port count, modularity and
scalability, low port cost, ease of use and high integration — in
one costeffective piece of technology. The SANbox-2-64 scalable
architecture provides entry-level 16-port configuration to a full non-
blocking 64 ports.
QLogic HBAs and switches, combined with VERITAS’ NetBackup
solutions, deliver enterprise-level performance, reliability
and interoperability.
