Data Protection for Windows Environments with Oracle's Sun ZFS Storage Appliance from Acardia

Protect data, reduce infrastructure costs, improve productivity, and simplify datacenter management

Description

Microsoft applications are pervasive in the enterprise datacenter. Oracle's Sun ZFS Storage Appliance from Acardia ensures interoperability with all Microsoft applications and is certified on the Microsoft Hardware Qualification List and the Microsoft Exchange Solution Review Program (ESRP), which facilitates third-party storage testing and solution publishing for Microsoft Exchange Server.

Overview

Oracle makes it easy for system administrators to deploy, provision, and manage storage. A head-to-head comparison conducted by the Edison group showed that the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance took 36% less time to manage, 45% less time to configure, and was 38% easier to provision than competitive systems. What’s more, Microsoft application-related storage workload issues can be observed and profiled, thanks to DTrace Storage Analytics, which displays specific issues that might be hindering performance. These include overtaxed disks and files, an offending database client, real-time disk capacity and CPU utilization, and numerous other metrics.

Key Benefits

• Improve data availability and user productivity through instantaneous backup and restore using snapshots and clones
• Integrate Microsoft Volume Shadow Copies with third-party backup/restore applications
• Avoid downtime with self-healing hardware and file systems
• Plan and test disaster-recovery and data-distribution scenarios with built-in remote replication
• Improve Microsoft application reliability and availability through observability of storage workloads with storage analytics
