Market Overview: Enterprise-Class Backup And Recovery Software. Backup is not the sexiest process in infrastructure and operations; it's akin to getting your teeth cleaned: necessary, but often painful. Many enterprises struggle with exponential data growth, shrinking backup windows, and static budgets — which leads to the classic conundrum of how to back up more data in less time with the same amount of money. Selecting the right backup and recovery solution isn't any easier than the process itself. This report will outline the key features you should consider when evaluating your next backup and recovery solution, as well as the leading providers in the market for enterprise-class solutions.

]]> SEP Tue, 07 Dec 2010 11:47:00 +0100 http://www.liga.com/en/news/news/article/sep-lancerer-sesam-version-40.html http://www.liga.com/en/news/news/article/sep-lancerer-sesam-version-40.html SEP AG announces general availability of SEP sesam Version 4.0 SEP sesam delivers one of the most comprehensive backup, recovery and data recovery solutions available today. With this release new features promise to ease the workload of company System Administrators and users alike.
New features offer unlimited capabilities to design backup and recovery solutions for any sized enterprise. The powerful new GUI enables fast deployment of backup as well as easy connectivity and configuration of new devices. For example, laptops can be added, configured and backed up in the fastest time ever. When reattaching to the network after travel or long absences from the company network laptops can be backed up while the user continues his workday.
In addition, new servers and other edge devices can be added to the backup architecture with only a few clicks of the mouse.
The continued explosion of user data presents unique problems not addressed by other backup solutions. SEP sesam delivers and grows and expands with the needs of the user community, be it a small business or enterprise with 10's of thousands of computers.
“Our product design and development follows conscientious and continuous dialogue with our user base. The newest release incorporates the requests and needs from our users and resellers, but goes beyond that to anticipate future system needs and requirement,” reported Georg Moosreiner, SEP Germany General Manager from company headquarters in Weyarn, Bavaria, Germany.
A few of the major enhancements include:
MS Exchange Clustered Backup – Task types can be established for MS Exchange 2010 databases via DB Availability Groups. You can easily replicate a database to a separate host location or create a second instance on the same server. This can insure against errant database entries or inadvertent DB deletions saving hours if not days to reconstruct lost data.
Integrated Analysis and Data Integrity Control for all Media Types – Automated switch settings allow constant or periodic verification of data already stored on the media. This allows the system administrators to constantly monitor and record log files regarding data media viability, integrity and availability. Results are logged for system and backup record keeping and auditing.
GUI Enhancements – The ease of use of the GUI layer has been greatly enhanced to include, in some cases, a 10 to 1 reduction in commands need to perform daily tasks, e.g. commands were reduced to a single click to set up notifications and email alerts regarding all backup activity.
Beyond Disk-to-Disk-Tape – Replication and Migration of Data - Users can backup to disk then replicate to tape to reduce system loads, but beyond this users can implement new backup technologies using and transfer SEP sesam backed up data from the old to the new without rewriting the data to the host backup server. For example, LT02/03/04 tapes can be recreated onto LT05 media eliminating the need to keep old tape drives on hand to retrieve old data.

Powerful Scripting Technologies – Allow the user to deploy and design unique solutions for every environment.

This new product offering allows IT professionals and their organizations to easily install a backup and recovery solution in heterogeneous environments. The new SEP sesam Backup Appliance delivers a complete solution for complex backup requirements, from the SUSE Linux Enterprise operating system to robust and complete backup, recovery and disaster recovery. SEP SBA can backup information to local disk and tape as well as remote servers and cloud-based solutions. SEP SBA is the first appliance to provide backup support for physical, virtual and cloud environments.

The SEP sesam Backup Appliance was developed as part of the SUSE Appliance Program, a comprehensive business and technology program that enables Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to rapidly build, update, configure and go-to-market with fully-supported software and virtual appliances.

"The SUSE Appliance Program enables SEP and other ISVs to quickly configure and customize software and virtual appliances," said Carlos Montero-Luque, vice president of Business and Product Management at Novell. "By leveraging the SUSE Appliance Program, SEP is giving its customers confidence that the SEP sesam Backup Appliance is a fully-supported backup and recovery solution."

"The SEP sesam Backup Appliance combines maximum reliability, performance and interoperability at the lowest cost of ownership,” said Georg Moosreiner, CEO, SEP AG. "It gives system integrators and resellers a competitive advantage and enables them to help their customers reduce costs, manage complexity and mitigate risk in these tough economic times.”

This new appliance improves business efficiency and is easily tailored for any business processes. Using the management console on a browser, new hardware and software components (e. g. Novell Open Enterprise Server 2, Novell GroupWise, Novell eDirectory, NSS Volumes, Novell Cluster Services, Novell Teaming and Novell iFolder) can be seamlessly integrated into the backup and business continuity strategy. Now you can integrate complex database modules rapidly, reliably, at the least possible cost with just a few mouse clicks. Even high-end solutions like SAP/R3 can be integrated in the shortest time possible.

By using the exact same tools for all backup requirements, every possible scenario from Real to Virtual to the Cloud is now possible. Our German engineers have developed a complete and thorough solution that automatically ensures CPU loads and backup windows are minimized at every opportunity and also assures the SEP SBA gets the required hardware resources when needed.

The SEP sesam Backup Appliance is ideal for IT professionals who require fast and effective backup solutions, and it simplifies the installation and configuration process in every heterogeneous environment—both for businesses and governments. The product is immediately accessible from all SEP distributors and partners.

The Situation An unreliable backup system was putting the IT resources and critical data at Eaton Rapids Public Schools at risk. The District had attempted over the course of 16 months to stabilize its backup of Novell Open Enterprise Server Clusters, SUSE Linux Enterprise Servers running XEN with multiple guest servers and Microsoft Windows Servers connected to a Storage-Area-Network (SAN) without sustained success. Overview Located in mid-central Michigan, Eaton Rapids Public Schools has 2,800 students and 250 staff. The district had recently installed multiple Novell OES Clusters connected to a SAN. The District was initially using Symantec´s Backup Exec but moved to Syncsort´s Backup Express in order to backup the Linux clusters. Challenge The District needed to improve performance, add effective migration tools, upgrade SAN interfaces and improve fail-over capability. To accomplish all of this the District upgraded their Novell Open Enterprise Server Release 1 (OES1) software to OES2. Once the upgrade was completed, the District received the benefits it was expecting but the ability to backup their OES2 environment with Syncsort Backup Express was a complete failure. They couldn’t backup OES2 clusters. SEP sesam Solution The District worked diligently with Syncsort engineers to continue to use Backup Express but after 6 weeks without a backup the situation was dire, there was no progress. Something had to be done. On the recommendation of a trusted advisor, Mike Grady, President of Gracon Services, Inc. of Okemos, Mi, they switched to SEP´s sesam backup software. “After a few startup issues and a brief learning curve, we were able to backup our OES2 cluster servers consistently and reliably. This corrected the problem we had with Syncsort Backup (BEX) Express.” according to Lyne Roberts, the previous IT Director. Results Eaton Rapids Public Schools switched their backup solution from Syncsort Backup Express to SEP sesam software to save time and money. The District is now able to backup their entire enterprise OES2 with NSS volumes, Windows 2003 Servers with its NTFS file system and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with ext3 and REISER file systems. “After the installation of SEP sesam Eaton Rapids finally had reliable backups for their entire environment for the first time in weeks. Something prior vendors just couldn’t do,” stated Mr. Grady, Gracon Services, Inc. a Platinum Reseller for SEP. “After training by Gracon personnel, our staff has been able to completely manage all of the District’s backup and restore functions with confidence”, said Linda Beachnau, current IT Director at the Eaton Rapids. “We calculated that the District will save over 50% of its initial investment in Backup Express by moving to SEP sesam backup software. The acquisition cost is much lower than BEX and the ongoing maintenance cost is even less,” according to Mr. Grady. “Added to the simplicity and ease of use of SEP sesam, the District will continue to benefit from the new backup software platform for years to come. Fewer administrative resources are required and several District staff have been trained to provide oversight for the backup processes,” stated Grady.]]> SEP Succeshistorie Wed, 06 May 2009 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.liga.com/en/news/news/article/sep-announces-backup-for-windows-server-2008.html http://www.liga.com/en/news/news/article/sep-announces-backup-for-windows-server-2008.html SEP sesam Delivers - Increasing Demand for Data Backup in Virtual Environments
