Snap Enterprise Data Replicator Overview:
Snap Enterprise Data Replicator™ (Snap
EDR) is a high-performance
network-optimized software solution for
distributing, protecting, and reporting
on business-critical information
throughout distributed enterprises. It
allows users to easily control the
movement of files between local and
remote GuardianOS Snap Servers and
Windows, Linux, and UNIX application
servers from anywhere on the network.
With integrated strong security
companies can transmit sensitive data
across inexpensive Internet connections
instead of expensive private networks.
Flexible scheduling as often as
"up-to-the minute", variable bandwidth
throttling and compression enable Snap
EDR to offer maximum data protection
without impacting users and
applications.
- A new level of affordability for enterprise data
mobility and management
- Cross-platform data replication between GuardianOS,
Windows, Linux, and UNIX Servers
- Network optimization moves data without disrupting users
or applications
- Integrated tiered security with data encryption,
certificate authentication, and certified delivery
- Scales to move data among thousands of servers
The trend toward distributed enterprises, whether they are
branch offices, remote development centers, or offshore
entities, has lead to a marked increase in the distribution of
mission-critical data across the enterprise. Even though many
corporations treat their remote offices as independent revenue
centers, their central IT departments invest the lion’s share of
their time and resources on core data and overlook the
distribution, synchronization, and protection of their remote
office data. Little time or money remains to invest in robust
solutions for distributed data. Snap Enterprise Data Replicator
(Snap EDR) by Adaptec, coupled with high-performance Snap
Server™ by Adaptec networked storage, provides distributed
enterprises with the robust data protection solution that they
need to manage and protect distributed data.
A powerful, high-performance data replication and
availability solution featuring the industry’s most
comprehensive set of data management and security
capabilities, Snap EDR allows organizations to efficiently and
cost-effectively replicate and manage data heterogeneously
between GuardianOS™ Snap Servers and Windows, Linux, and UNIX
servers across a distributed network. Not just a point solution,
the Snap EDR management framework forms the basis for remote
data control and movement solutions throughout the enterprise.
Snap EDR allows users to easily control the movement of files
between servers; from many remote offices to a central server;
and to automatically distribute data from a central server to
remote office servers. Flexible job scheduling for data movement
ensures that distributed data can be protected as needed by the
central office, providing a remote office data management
solution for distributed application data.
Fast and Efficient
Snap EDR employs file compression and network bandwidth throttling to minimize the impact on network resources during the replication process. For additional efficiency, only the byte-level changes since the last replication are replicated. When combined with high-performance GuardianOS-powered SnapServer NAS systems, Snap EDR is a cost-effective answer for distributed enterprises to easily move, manage, and protect distributed data.
Support for Heterogeneous Environments
Snap EDR can manage movement between any combination of GuardianOS™ SnapServer NAS systems and Windows, Linux, Solaris, and MAC OSX servers. Not just a point solution, the Snap EDR management framework forms the basis for remote data control, movement, and backup anywhere throughout the enterprise. Only a single SnapServer NAS system is required in the environment to configure and manage the replication jobs and maintain job logs; your data moves securely between each server directly and independently.
Consolidated Backup and Recovery
Included in Snap EDR Standard, consolidated backup and recovery functionality reduces backup costs by eliminating the need for tape and equipment at remote locations. Backup images are consolidated onto a central server for instant online access to the latest backup images. With centralized management, backup processes for remote sites are automated, reducing or eliminating the dependency on remote staff for backup and recovery. All the file attributes and permissions are retained for restoration.
Powerful, Centralized Control and Reporting
The Snap EDR 7.2 browser-based administration interface, which can be accessed from anywhere on the network for global access, is designed for ease of use—with all the extra visibility and flexibility administrators want in a data management interface. Snap EDR 7.2 also improves data management, control, and monitoring through job statistics reporting.
Flexible Offering: Snap EDR Standard and Express
There are two editions of Snap EDR: Standard and Express. The Standard Edition includes all functionality*, including remote backup, as well as one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-one replication. The Express Edition is a value-based replication-only suite for one-to-one replication between two SnapServer NAS systemsmanagement, control, and monitoring through job statistics reporting.
* Remote Backup functionality previously provided in Snap EDR Advanced v5.2.2, is now included in Snap EDR Standard v7.2.2.
