2 Universal Data Management (UDM) Managing corporate data is a complex task. Talk to any IT administrator and they will no doubt tell you that some of their most daunting and critical challenges on a daily basis circle around applying data protection to highly disparate environments, managing application-centric policies and managing messaging applications for various purposes, including retention of data and ensuring compliance. BakBone s Universal Data Management strategy revolves around a three-pronged approach for managing data within a corporate environment: Integrated Data Protection, Message Management, and Centralized Policy Management. Benefits of UDM: Comprehensive Data Protection This level of integrated data protection preserves the integrity of at-rest and in-motion data across the enterprise and adds the ability to do real-time backup for Windows applications and file servers. Centralized Policy Administration Centralized, data-centric policies greatly improve IT s command-andcontrol. The central policy engine oversees a range of BakBone and third party actions, including deduplication, encryption, archiving and more. Compliant Messaging Given an increasingly strict regulatory atmosphere, ensuring messaging compliance has become a critical form of protection for the enterprise. Integrated Data Protection Protect & make available the most critical server and application data whether physical, virtual or in a cloud. Universal Data Management Centralized Policy Management Apply & manage policies on data, rather than on multiple disparate applications. Message Management Enhance existing messaging applications to optimize infrastructure performance, increase data availability & improve corporate compliance. Integrated Data Protection The foundation of BakBone s UDM strategy includes the availability, retention and security of data. A combined suite of data protection solutions allows you to centrally protect and ensure availability of your most critical server and application data, whether it resides in physical, virtual or cloud environments. BakBone s data protection framework embraces a new model of availability and data retention that is flexible, cost effective, and easy to integrate and manage using an integrated building-block approach to help you achieve your data protection objectives, increase business value and reduce risk. This comprehensive suite of heterogeneous technologies is seamlessly managed from a centralized console. Message Management Most of today s enterprise systems and applications are based on 25-year-old technology for processing and delivering. This limits performance, security and stability which creates the potential for serious issues with your most important communication channel. BakBone is replacing this legacy technology with a new generation of optimized solutions for and messaging based on ColdSpark s SparkEngine platform, a powerful new type of enterprise platform. This new patent-pending technology re-engineers the SMTP routing and delivery process. Centralized Policy Management BakBone provides a data-centric approach to creating, applying and maintaining policies across the enterprise. BakBone s Policy Management solutions allow you to apply and manage your policies on data, rather than on multiple disparate applications. This unique technology allows applications to inherit and implement these global data-centric policies for services, such as data deduplication, encryption, data loss prevention, data and user protection, and message archiving. The integration of BakBone s data protection platform with the SparkEngine mail transport platform allows policies to be applied to data as it enters the network and be retained with the data throughout its lifecycle. 2

3 The Importance of Data The importance of data protection has become even more critical over the last decade. It is crucial to not only protect your data but also improve its availability in order to ensure business continuity. Without advanced data protection, your organization suffers from inadequate data capabilities that affect your ability to recover costs due to a workforce that is unable to work, and struggles to meet service level agreements (SLAs) and comply with tough new regulatory mandates on data protection and availability. Without these capabilities, you risk losing customers, gaining negative publicity and decreasing overall workforce functionality. BakBone Software provides a powerful line of data protection products to prevent these problems and give you the freedom to choose the platforms that are most useful and cost effective for your organization. In addition to these basic business functions, return on investment (ROI) is being scrutinized more than ever. BakBone firmly believes that the key to increased ROI is simplicity, integration, interoperability and a single point of contact for service and support. We develop our award-winning data protection solutions with these key elements in mind. Data Growth and Complexity Businesses are not only dealing with data that is growing exponentially but also different kinds of data from applications across multiple platforms. The result is often an IT infrastructure consisting of tens, hundreds or perhaps even thousands of servers coupled with disparate technologies from a wide range of storage providers. As the need to make data available 24/7 becomes the norm, businesses must also contend with shrinking backup windows, demands for faster recovery times, new regulatory compliance issues and constrained budgets and resources. With the operational management of storage accounting for 70 to 80 percent of total storage-related costs (Gartner Group), finding the right software to implement an effective data protection strategy is crucial to every business. With so much at stake and so many things to consider (such as databases, applications, operating systems, devices and geographically dispersed locations), finding the right solution can be a daunting task. BakBone understands data protection and its inherent challenges. Our goal is to make your life easier by developing data protection solutions that offer an unsurpassed combination of flexibility, integration, reliability, scalability, total cost of ownership (TCO) and simplicity. Effective Data Protection BakBone s Integrated Data Protection (IDP) strategy embraces today s demanding needs for data protection, data availability and data retention by ensuring solutions that are flexible, cost effective and easy to integrate and manage. IDP takes an integrated modular approach to help you achieve your data protection objectives, reduce complexity and realize faster ROI. After all, integration should be more than products that all come in the same color box. BakBone s IDP framework is made up of a comprehensive set of data protection technologies: n NetVault : SmartDisk n NetVault : FASTRecover n NetVault : Backup n NetVault : Backup Application Plugin Modules (APM) n NetVault : Bare Metal Recovery n NetVault : Report Manager Pro for Backup n NetVault : Report Manager Pro for Disk Space n NetVault : Report Manager Pro for Exchange Performing backups is almost a set-and-forget process now. Previously, we spent an average of 20 man-hours each week managing our prior solution. With BakBone, it takes less than an hour each week to review daily reports of the previous night s backup, which rarely require intervention.

LAN Free Backup By combining SmartClients with Dynamically Shared Devices in a storage area network (SAN), the NetVault: Backup administrator can create a LAN-free backup environment. Backup data does not need to traverse the LAN to be written to locally attached storage devices. This keeps the LAN free of backup traffic and more available for other application usage. Management Flexibility with Plugins There are a number of scalable NetVault: Backup solutions available, as well as a variety of optional plugins to address your specific needs. NDMP Plugin NDMP gives you a highly efficient and robust storage management solution for network attached storage (NAS) devices, including local backup, automation control, direct access restores and dynamically shared devices. Leveraging data transfer over the network while maintaining centralized backup administration, NDMP provides fast online backup and recovery of data. Advanced Security NetVault: Backup s Encryption Plugin provides CAST-128, AES-256 and CAST-256 algorithm support options to meet regulatory requirements without sacrificing backup windows or deduplication performance. When on the NetVault: Backup Heterogeneous Client, the NVBU Encryption Plugin encrypts and transfers data across the network to the backup device, where it remains encrypted until restored to the NVBU Client. If encryption is only required for secondary storage, NetVault: Backup s job-level encryption gives you the choice to encrypt only the secondary copy while the primary backup remains unencrypted to shrink the backup window. NetVault: SmartDisk s job-level deduplication combined with job-level encryption allows you to deduplicate your primary copy while encrypting the secondary copy. This means you gain the advantage of having both a smaller storage footprint and lower storage costs while also meeting your regulatory security requirements for off-site data. Virtualization Protection NetVault: Backup virtualization protection is a cost-effective solution that helps you manage data efficiently, consume less energy and floor space and acquire less hardware.
