The ETERNUS disk storage systems hardware function (Advanced Copy Function) is used to back up data quickly. The Advanced Copy Function provides fast data copy regardless of data volume, and can maintain a fixed backup time even if the amount of data to be backed up increases. This dramatically reduces the duration for which the application must be stopped to perform backup.
In addition, since operations management is linked to the following DBMSs, high-speed backup can be performed without interruption to live operational processing:
Oracle
If other databases or a general file system are being used, downtime or interruption to normal throughput is still significantly reduced.
Using the remote copy function in the ETERNUS disk storage systems, it is also possible to back up to ETERNUS disk storage systems at remote locations.
