NetWorker Options

Legato Systems delivers a variety of modular, advanced data management options that can be easily integrated into any NetWorker installation at any time. This comprehensive, cross-platform approach delivers the first truly, enterprise-wide solution for network data protection and storage management.

Archive and Retrieve: NetWorker Archive enhances backup and recovery by providing archival and retrieval services for permanent protection of specific files or groups of files.
Hierarchical Storage Management: NetWorker HSM enhances backup and recovery by providing automated file migration based upon time and capacity rules that moves older files from expensive storage to less expensive tape or optical storage.
Autochanger Support: Autochanger Software Modules deliver hands-free automation via the industry's most popular tape and optical robotic autochangers.
Silo Support: The Silo Support Module enables NetWorker to interface with mainframe-class storage systems from StorageTek and EMASS. Modules are licensed by the number of pieces of media (volumes) they will manage inside the silo. Other applications and servers may use the silo simultaneously with NetWorker.
High Speed Device Support: The High Speed Device Support Module enables NetWorker to utilize these high speed devices: Ampex DST-310, IBM 3590 and Sony DTF.
Multiple Platform Support: ClientPaks deliver data protection to local hard disks of UNIX, DOS, Windows product family, OS/2, Macintosh, and NetWare client systems networked to a NetWorker storage management server.
Database and Application Protection: NetWorker BusinesSuite™ Modules and NetWorker Toolkits offer several alternatives for high-performance backup protection for online or offline databases.
SNMP Framework Integration: The SNMP Module integrates NetWorker for Unix's storage management services with HP OpenView Network Node Manager and SunNet Manager, allowing for a single point of focus to monitor, configure and control various aspects of the network.
