Almost every enterprise has a solution in place for backing up its critical information, however not every business has a practical and efficient strategy for recovery from its backed up data.
CCS takes a comprehensive approach when designing backup and recovery solutions for its customers. CCS develops solutions that not only ensure that its clients data is backed up, but that it is stored off-site and that its customers can recover from the backup information within the timeframe they need.
CCS has partnered with some of the most respected backup and recovery solutions providers in the industry. These partnerships enable CCS to offer backup and recovery solutions for almost every scenario including backing up virtual servers and AS400 database. CCS’s key partners in backup and recovery are Exagrid, Symantec and Veeam.
ExaGrid
ExaGrid’s disk-based backup with deduplication product line revolutionizes how organizations backup and protect their data. ExaGrid’s disk backup appliances work seamlessly with the industry’s leading backup applications and the appliance typically installs in about one hour.
ExaGrid has a unique landing zone where backups can land straight to disk without any inline processing. Backups are fast and the backup window is short. Deduplication and offsite replication occur in parallel with the backups. Deduplication and replication never impede the backup process as they always are second order priority. ExaGrid calls this “adaptive deduplication.”
ExaGrid provides full appliances (processor, memory, bandwidth, and disk) in a scale-out GRID. As data grows, all resources are added including additional landing zone, additional bandwidth, processor, and memory as well as disk capacity. The backup window stays fixed in length regardless of data growth, which eliminates expensive forklift upgrades. Unlike the inline, scale-up approach where you need to guess at which sized front-end controller is required, the ExaGrid approach allows you to simply pay as you grow by adding the appropriate sized appliances as your data grows.
Symantec
Symantec was founded in 1982 by visionary computer scientists. The company has evolved to become one of the world’s largest software companies with more than 18,500 employees in more than 50 countries.
