Why Net2Vault

It’s Time To Do things Differently.

Leverage Net2Vault’s NetApp systems to use simple tools like SnapMirror and SnapVault to deploy offsite copies of your data quickly and reliably. Net2Vault provides you with a new and innovative approach for consolidating your backup and disaster recovery.  Enjoy the benefits of seamless integration using your NetApp to our Netapp systems through the Cloud for increased security, better reliability and a whole new paradigm for visibility into the state of your backup.  Enjoy a new level of peace-of-mind, all the while reducing I.T. infrastructure and management headaches.

Innovative Approach

Net2Vault can accomplish this through our new Network Appliance backup.  Through this unique approach your backup simply becomes a node on your system network, always there in real time and always available. This approach provides a variety of benefits over traditional backup and disaster recovery strategies.

The Case Against Tape

Now you can do away with your offline tape and the messy recovery it requires. Tape is not only unstable (as many tapes have failures and degradation of back up tapes can be a real problem), but it is difficult and slow to deal with in a recovery process.  Tape backup systems and similar strategies also often have hidden soft costs in consumables and extra man hours.  Due to the nature of tape systems, many companies fail to truly test the integrity and recoverability of their systems.  Instead, they rely on the theory of the strategy and merely verifying that backups are indeed running.

Ease Of Validation

As we have seen with tape, traditional backup and DR strategies don’t allow you to easily test and insure your business continuity. Now you can. With Net2Vault your backup today is an extension of your business and can be switched over immediately in times of crisis in your production system(s). Because we house our systems in only SunGard hosting facilities, you have a secure place to house your data online. In addition, if you select the option, you can test and recover your backup easily and use it in real time just like your production systems. We have x86 systems and various Unix systems that allow you to restore and practice your DR needs. In times of need those same systems can be available for you to save your business operations. Imagine your fail over or test taking just a few management key selections and the data and systems being ready to go. Try that with tape!

Disaster Recovery Your Business Can Survive

It is estimated that most large companies spend between 2% and 4% of their IT budget on disaster recovery planning, with the aim of avoiding larger losses in the event that the business cannot continue to function due to loss of IT infrastructure and data. Of companies that have a major loss of business data, 43% never reopen, 51% close within two years, and only 6% survive long-term.

Traditional DR

Net2Vault DR

If your current tape back up system is in place when a disaster happens:

  • Secure the tapes from your remote source
  • Select and buy new systems to purchase and run your data
  • Wait for those systems to be shipped and delivered
  • Load those tapes that will transfer into your new systems
  • Now set up your unique file structure, remember all the drivers and special programs you need to make your systems productive
  • Hopefully your clients haven’t sent orders somewhere else in the weeks it takes to accomplish all this
With Net2Vault running consistently as a node on your network:

  • Secure a new single “client” system
  • Log into your virtual Net2Vault system
  • Be up and running and able to respond to all your business needs!!
