CaminoSoft's Managed Server HSM software increases administrative and organizational storage productivity through the use of IT administrator policies. This solution automates the migration of semi-active and inactive Novell/NetWare files from EMC Symmetrix, EMC CLARiiON, and general-purpose storage pools to EMC Centera.

Leverage CaminoSoft's Managed Server HSM to:

• Reclaims key production storage resources for active file usage.
• Dramatically reduce the time needed for server backup and recovery.
• Archive files based on corporate governance and standards-based retention policies.

MediaMerge/Tape Management System (MM/TMS) and MediaMerge/Recovery (MM/Re) provide the functionality to restore backup data regardless of catalog format, reducing reliance on legacy backup software. With eMag Solutions, you don't need the original backup application or hardware configurations to consolidate backup applications or migrate from a legacy application.

Consolidating backup environments to EMC NetWorker strengthens overall data protection levels, reduces management costs, and saves money by allowing expensive maintenance contracts to lapse.

• MM/TMS— Extract, restore, and manage legacy backup catalogs to a central repository. MM/TMS can also work with existing backup applications to manage and enforce tape vaulting and retention policies.
• MM/Re — Identify the format of your backup tapes and stage the tape ready for restore. MM/Re handles thousands of tape format variations.

Mitigator Business Continuance Management software is a Microsoft-certified tool that allows organizations to manage the process of developing, implementing, and maintaining business continuance (BC) plans. Mitigator helps customers define BC requirements and develop recovery/failover plans based on accurate business impact analysis and IT risk assessments.

Mitigator software and Maji services can be integrated into EMC's Business Continuance Services framework to jointly deliver an end-to-end BC solution. Mitigator also enables users to:

• Automate IT risk assessments to identify "gaps" in meeting RTO/RPO requirements.
• Track and manage ongoing changes to BC/DR testing.
• Identify business threats, including system failures, weather, and man-made threats.

Scalent provides infrastructure virtualization software that lets you rapidly change which software stacks your servers are running and how those servers are connected to the network—without making physical access changes.

Server repurposing thus becomes nearly instantaneous, as changing system function and topology doesn't require touching cables or machines. You can rack and cable once and reconfigure repeatedly and as needed effortlessly. Failover is automatic, and your data center functionality matches your data center diagram.

With EMC and Scalent, companies have been able to implement solutions while reducing server counts, simplifying manageability, and increasing reliability. Use cases include:

• Disaster recovery/business continuity initiatives
• QA test infrastructure automation
• Boot from SAN in the event of a failure
• Data center management and automation

StorFirst Altus
StorFirst Altus is a secure, reliable, and inexpensive copy and restore software product. The StorFirst Altus application works with single, multiple, or replicated EMC Centera systems to offer tape-based media pools which can be stored or vaulted off-site.

StorFirst Altus provides copy and restore tasks to and from any tape library or virtual tape library (VTL). Software intelligence ensures integrity of the Centera format while maintaining auditability.

Leverage StorFirst Altus and EMC Centera to:

• Reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by reducing backup requirements.
• Manage the copy and restore process for multiple Centera systems from a single control console.
• Replicate incrementally copy and restore on demand.
• Migrate seamlessly from legacy to new Centera platforms.

Mirror Activator is a business continuity and disaster recovery solution that enhances database replication methods for EMC SRDF or MirrorView.

Within an SRDF or MirrorView environment, Mirror Activator provides a hot standby (R2), Oracle, or Sybase database. Mirror Activator reads R2 devices and replicates data to the standby database.

Together, EMC and Sybase can minimize database downtime for business-critical applications by providing a continuously available active secondary database. Customers benefit from increased data availability and reduced bandwidth—and can leverage hot standby databases for reporting and decision support.
