Improve data availability and accessibility while containing costs
Protect mission-critical data
The Sun StorageTek SVA's fast and powerful SnapShot, Synchronous Mirroring and PPRC technology work to help protect mission-critical data and assure its availability for business continuity and disaster recovery. SnapShot software copies and recovers data in seconds and provides as may copies as needed instantly, without much disk consumption. Data is ready to share immediately after a “snap” is taken.
Simplify DB2 Backup
The SVA, with its tight DB2 integration and Virtual Concurrent Copy functionality, provides consistent imaging of DB2, IMS or CIS databases without disruption to production or user access, thus greatly increasing database availability and reducing the backup window requirements.
Keep costs under control
The SVA alleviates the traditional dilemma of balancing over-allocation and under-utilization of resources with budget constraints. The SVA's advanced virtual architecture provides up to 100% disk utilization and allows for virtual storage over-allocation up to its maximum capacity without reserving physical disk. This way customers pay for only that which they use and not sit wasted, adding capacity only when needed non-disruptively and on demand. This defers acquisitions of additional primary disk, lowers operating costs and reduces storage management workloads.
