Product Spotlight: Simpana 9

Today’s Data and Information Management Challenges

Enterprises and companies of all sizes worldwide, are experiencing runaway data growth, tightened budgets and the unprecedented new challenges and complexities brought on by seismic changes inside the data center.

New technologies, new regulatory requirements for data, the priority shift from retention to recovery, the move to cloud computing, the advent of virtualized storage, and the unprecedented proliferation and scale of virtualized servers are wreaking havoc in IT operations that simply don't have the management tools to support them. Operations are suffering, labor is stretched too thin, and SLAs are slipping.

Consequently, organizations are forced to spend more time and money than ever on storage and maintenance of legacy systems.

A Better Way

Simpana® 9 data and information management software enables companies to effectively bridge from the expense and frustrations of their existing situation to an efficient, scalable, and cost effective modern data center.

For many enterprises, a switch of this magnitude has been considered just too lengthy, difficult, and costly to pursue. Now, however, new migration tools and functionality in Simpana 9 make breaking free from limiting legacy tools and techniques and graduating to a superior modern approach easier than ever before.

Modern Data Management

Modern data management is a tightly integrated blend of snapshot, replication and persistent copies that are secure, deduplicated, managed, and accessible through a single, unified platform. Simpana 9 is application, operating system, and disk aware. It quickly creates copies that are highly available, by integrating and leveraging hardware array-based snapshot technologies. Then, data is efficiently moved to appropriate tiers of storage—whether it be disk, tape, or cloud. This data can be seamlessly retrieved for multiple possible uses, including Disaster Recovery, Data Mining, eDiscovery, Compliance, or regulatory requirements. This end-to-end activity is what truly modern data management is all about.

Simpana Software: A Common Platform. Uncommonly Smart Solutions

Simpana software delivers the unparalleled advantages and benefits of a truly holistic approach to data management. It is one product that contains individually licensable modules—all built on a single unifying code base and platform—to Analyze, Replicate, Protect, Archive, and Search your data.

Leveraging the strengths of this "common" platform, each module, deployed by itself or in combination with others, delivers unsurpassed feature-for-feature performance against alternative point-level solutions. And because modules are individually licensable, users have the flexibility to choose those that meet their current needs and activate additional modules as new needs emerge.

The Common Platform

Simpana® software modules share a common set of back-end services and advanced capabilities, and effortlessly "talk" to one another through the common platform. There is no need to purchase fragmented, expensive third-party tools, hardware or appliances. This truly unified, or "singular," architecture performs all data management functions quickly, easily and reliably from a single platform. Managed data, content indexed into a single virtual pool, can be viewed across all applications, platforms, devices and locations. The advanced features and capabilities unique to this architecture solve myriad problems related to the storage and access of your data and information.
