Enterprise IT organizations face increasingly complex backup environments with costly operations, shrinking backup and restore windows, and stringent service-level agreement (SLA) requirements. Backups to tape are traditionally slow and hard to manage as they grow. This limitation is compounded by the size and rapid growth of digital content and unstructured data. SyncIQ, as a superior disk-to-disk backup and restore solution, delivers scalable performance and simplicity, enabling IT organizations to reduce backup and restore times and costs, eliminate complexity, and minimize risk. With PowerScale scale-out network-attached storage (NAS), petabytes of backup storage can be managed within a single system-as one volume, and one file system and can be the disk backup target for multiple PowerScale clusters.
