2. Backup, Recovery and Archiving (BURA)

Meet three challenges with complete, complementary and cost-effective solutions

A solution that encompasses Backup, Recovery AND Archiving will do much to streamline and improve your IT and business operations in a cost-effective manner. 

Transam, an EMC Velocity partner, gives you complete solutions that help you keep your data safe and meet recovery requirements—all while reducing costs. You can dramatically improve efficiencies by creating an online, active archive of non-changing data assets as you focus backup efforts on actively changing data. And you get tiered performance and recovery service levels, software to automate data movement and a full range of services from Transam.  

 

	Backup and Recovery solutions Improve reliability and performance with disk-based backup/recovery
	Archiving Solutions Create and activate online archives for accurate, long-term information retention and retrieval

Match tiered protection levels with information’s business value.
By combining disk-based backup and online archiving, EMC technology helps you improve efficiencies throughout the entire information lifecycle. Tiered protection and storage keep your data assets safe and highly available—and on the most cost-effective storage—throughout these three critical processes.

Are you backing up files that haven’t changed?
Efficient and reliable backup and recovery can be a struggle if you are dealing with huge data growth. Are you spending time and resources backing up files that haven’t changed? EMC technology helps you avoid needless backups by moving digital assets into an online archive if they’re not being updated. This approach lets you focus on efficiently backing up new content and updated operational data—while archiving unchanged, infrequently accessed files.

How you benefit

Faster backup and restores: Reducing the amount of data being backed up, by using disk-based backups, accelerates the entire process.

Improved production performance: Freeing space on your production system enhances performance.

Increased control: Protect key data with policy-based management of information retention/deletion.

Increased efficiencies: Eliminate needless backups by moving inactive data to an active archive.

Reduced costs: With more efficient tiered storage utilisation, infrastructure costs are better matched to the changing value of the information over time.

EMC solutions integrate with the e-mail applications, file systems, and databases that support your business. As an EMC Velocity partner Transam offers a complete family of services to help you assess, implement, and manage your backup, recovery and archiving environment.
