Back Up More Data in Shorter Backup Windows
Network-accelerated serverless backup (NASB) helps you back up increased amounts of data in shorter backup timeframes by shifting the data movement from multiple backup servers to Cisco MDS 9000 Series multilayer switches.
Customer benefits include:
- Decreased impact on application servers because the MDS 9000 offloads the application servers and backup servers
- Reduced number of backup servers and media servers required
- Smooth insertion and configuration in your existing backup environment because storage and tape drives can reside anywhere in the SAN
- Savings in
- Capital expenditure due to the reduction in media servers and burned ports dedicated to backup
- Operating expenses associated with large, unwieldy backup environments
Cisco has partnered with multiple backup vendors to provide the NASB solution.
