EMC Backup and Recovery for Microsoft SQL Server Delivering non-disruptive backup and seamless recovery As guardians of their organizations’ data assets, database administrators (DBAs) and backup administrators often have very critical responsibilities around Microsoft® SQL Server® database backup and recovery. The business relies on them to protect data without limiting application availability. However, managing data growth while avoiding downtime is the overarching challenge. After all, every gigabyte of growth in the production environment can mean four to 30 times that amount in backup data. Handling that challenge requires flexible, intelligent, and robust solutions that deliver non-disruptive backup and seamless recovery across widely scaled and growing environments. That’s EMC’s value. We can help you more efficiently and cost-effectively manage and deliver Microsoft SQL Server backup and recovery solutions to anywhere in the organization—across the enterprise data center, remote office, or private cloud. With insight gained from conducting thousands of successful customer deployments, and a fostering a decade-long partnership with Microsoft, EMC provides in-depth knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server, best practices, and a full range of platform, software, and robust solutions that deliver tightly integrated data protection.
Tightly integrated data protection EMC® Backup and Recovery solutions for Microsoft SQL Server enable you to strengthen data protection, streamline backup and recovery, and meet a wide range of service levels—even for the largest data volumes. You’ll also reduce the amount of data to be backed up while optimizing your physical or virtual environment.
EMC NetWorker Backup and recovery is no simple task. You must operate across a very diverse landscape, managing multiple tiers of data protection, across a variety of applications, within both physical and virtual environments. Providing comprehensive scheduling and policies for operational and disaster recovery scenarios is a problem. That’s why thousands of EMC customers reduce complexity and cost with EMC NetWorker®. Its common management interface provides advanced backup and recovery technologies and centralized command and control. Integrated with the EMC Symmetrix®, EMC CLARiiON®, and EMC Celerra® platforms, the EMC NetWorker family helps protect Microsoft SQL Server data by simplifying and centralizing backup and recovery options for tape, virtual tape, disk, and EMC Atmos™-based cloud storage.
EMC RecoverPoint EMC RecoverPoint brings continuous data protection and continuous remote replication to EMC CLARiiON networked storage. Integration of RecoverPoint with NetWorker enables you to use RecoverPoint through the NetWorker Management Console interface to centralize data protection and management. Using the NetWorker Module for Microsoft SQL Server, you can optimize RPO and RTO through higher-frequency snapshots of your Microsoft SQL Server databases.
EMC Avamar EMC Avamar® backup and recovery solutions use patented global data deduplication technology to identify redundant data at the source, minimizing backup data before it is sent over the LAN/WAN. With Avamar, you can achieve new levels of data reduction and enable fast, secure backup for your VMware® environments, remote offices, and LAN/NAS servers in the data center. In the process, you’ll reduce Microsoft SQL Server backup time, growth of secondary storage, and network utilization.
EMC Data Domain EMC Data Domain® deduplication systems, software, and technology integrate easily with existing infrastructures and can be used seamlessly with a variety of data movers and application workloads. Deduplication reduces the amount of disk storage needed to retain and protect Microsoft SQL Server data by ratios of 10 to 30 times and greater, making disk a cost-effective alternative to tape. Data is available online and onsite for longer periods, and restores become fast and reliable. Storing only unique data on disk also means that data can be cost-effectively replicated over existing networks to remote sites for disaster recovery and consolidated tape operations.
