Virtually every company, regardless of size or industry, needs data archive capabilities. Customers across all industry segments are faced with similar archive challenges: explosive data growth, pressure to meet promised service levels and backup windows for users, 'forever' archive data retention and retrieval requirements, and rising energy costs. Their data protection environments often contain disparate islands of archive data to manage and are becoming larger, more complex, and increasingly diverse. Administrators face the challenges of meeting growing data backup requirements and providing a comprehensive backup solution, while maintaining costs and building a platform that will continue to meet future demands.

To help solve these challenges, Sun is developing and delivering openly architected, intelligent, and massively scalable general purpose archive solutions with breakthrough cost structures. Using the Symantec NetBackup software and powered by the Sun SPARC Enterprise servers and Solaris operation system (Solaris OS), these solutions deliver next-generation data protection for large heterogeneous environments. The flexible, multi-tiered architecture provides virtually unlimited scalability with central management and end-to-end data protection across heterogeneous technologies.
