| The S2100-ES3 is Sepaton's latest entry into the market for Purpose Built Backup Appliances (PBBAs), and aims to address two key concerns of enterprise IT managers: 'explosive' data growth, and increasing risk. Its patented DeltaScale scale-out architecture is designed to enable high performance alongside modular expansion Sepaton claims data ingest performance of up to 80TB per hour for this PBBA, which - depending on who you believe - is between twice and eight times as fast as its nearest competitors, along with a system capacity of up to 2 petabytes. The risk issue is addressed by its 'at rest' data encryption capabilities. The S2100-ES3 features version 7 of Sepaton's data protection software, which enables simultaneous compression, encryption and hashing of block-form data - crucially, without slowing down performance. Grid scalability makes the Sepaton approach unique in its ability to comfortably backup and restore massive volumes without 'system sprawl' - for a relatively low TCO, any size of enterprise can effectively consolidate their entire backup environment using the PBBA approach. The S2100-ES3 also exploits Sepaton's de-dupe methodology: their byte-differential de-duplication is optimised for large databases, and can (unusually) perform byte-level de-dupe of <8kb segments commonly found in DB2, SQL and Oracle backups. Performance rates are guaranteed not to vary because of this low-to-no impact de-duplication methodology.
Sepaton continues to develop products that meet the needs of large enterprises that are struggling with backup windows and SLAs, and as the PBBA market continues to grow, offerings like the S2100-ES3 are likely to prove popular - offering fast and reliable backup and recovery, no matter how vast the volumes of data being managed. | ||
