PRESS RELEASE
WAYNE, Pa., April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SunGard Availability Services today announced its Managed Vaulting for NetApp service, which enables end-to-end protection of data for customers with NetApp storage in their primary data center environments. The new service uses NetApp's SnapMirror or SnapVault technology to replicate data in real-time to NetApp infrastructure in SunGard AS' secure recovery environment, thereby helping organizations protect critical data in their NetApp storage systems, vaulted in a trusted, off-site location, and available quickly when needed for disaster recovery.
Managed Vaulting for NetApp is delivered as a fully managed, online backup service that includes everything needed to capture, replicate and store data in an off-site vault. Benefits organizations can achieve with Managed Vaulting for NetApp include:
-- Assured Data Preservation. Uses NetApp SnapVault and/or SnapMirror to
capture data locally and move it into off-site vaults for preservation
and recovery
-- Lower Cost of Storage. Extends the life of NetApp storage by using
off-site vaults to archive and retain older data, freeing up local
storage resources
-- Improved Recovery Point. Allows organizations to retire traditional,
tape-based backup and recovery systems with disk-based snapshot and
replication technologies, which move data off-site as quickly as it is
captured
-- Decreased IT Burdens. Provides remote management of protection and
replication processes, combined with fully managed recovery options at
time of test and disaster, dramatically lowering IT administration
burdens typically associated with data protection
-- Lower Capital Expenditure associated with Data Protection and Recovery.
Eliminates the capital expense of dedicated secondary storage, recovery
site costs and management costs
"The SunGard Availability Services Managed Vaulting service provides fast and simple backup and recovery, tapping SunGard Availability Services recovery expertise and maximizing our existing NetApp storage investment," said Alexandre Page-Relo, chief information officer, Remy Cointreau USA, Inc. "It allows us to safeguard our data quickly and cost-effectively with a managed service model that allows us to turn CAPEX into OPEX, and frees both internal IT and infrastructure resources."
"As partners, NetApp and SunGard Availability Services share a vision of giving enterprises and mid-market companies advanced management options to meet their data protection and business continuity needs," said Tom Shields, senior manager, Solution Marketing, NetApp. "SunGard Availability Services' Managed Vaulting service allows NetApp customers to extend the benefits of their on-premise NetApp environments to the cloud, while lowering costs for enterprise-class backup and disaster recovery."
