IBM System Storage N series Open System SnapVault (OSSV) Software

Centralized automated management of WAN-efficient backup provides speed, simplicity, and reliability

Feature Benefits
Remote office backups
  • OSSV takes advantage of disk technology, helping to reduce media failure which is a prime cause of backup failures. OSSV can help achieve greater control without always having to do full backup images.
Data recovery
  • OSSV and NearStore deliver high-speed disk restores and support full backups and end-user recoveries, plus failover-to-backup capabilities.
WAN bandwidth
  • OSSV uses Snapshot backup processes to help greatly reduce the amount of backup data that flows over the WAN.
Remote-site backup administration
  • With centralized, simplified, automated management, backup IT staff resources could be reduced at the remote site, and fewer resources are needed over all.
Disaster recovery
  • OSSV enables efficient, flexible remote replication over the existing WAN infrastructure, for low-cost, reliable disaster recovery.
Keeping costs down
  • OSSV and NearStore are intended to help reduce remote-site infrastructure and staff while cutting network and secondary disk-storage costs.
