With its enterprise-quality iSCSI-based PS Series networked storage solution, EqualLogic delivers a reliable, self-managing, scalable pool of storage that responds nimbly to user demands. Each PS Series storage array comes with fully redundant fault-tolerant hardware and includes full-featured automatic storage-management software.

CA BrightStor® solutions enable you to economically manage the protection of your data. BrightStor® ARCserve® Backup supports heterogeneous environments including NetWare, Linux and UNIX. BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1 and the BrightStor ARCServe Backup Enterprise Option for VSS Hardware Snap-Shot® will act as the backup infastructure application to take advantage of the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) available on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. It will coordinate preparing various applications for backup and invoke the hardware provider technology available from EqualLogic's PS array to generate a snapshot of the storage related to the application data. The BrightStor ARCServe Backup Enterprise Option for VSS Hardware Snap-Shot imports this data to a different host and performs a logically consistent near-zero impact backup, along with an ability to retain the snapshot for instant recovery purposes.

The integrated solution provides consolidated storage offering fast and efficient backup-and-restore operations with no disruption of application servers and fast recovery. Intelligent automation, ease-of-use, and efficiency of backup operations frees up valuable IT staff time for more strategic operations. This solution enhances overall storage operations and improves application performance.
