Cristie Software at EMC World 6-9th May 2013

Wednesday, May 08, 2013

Cristie Software makes an appearance at EMC World this year with an announcement about our new ABMR software.

Making our first appearance at EMC World, the Cristie team will be attending the conference this year from the 7^th of May and providing demonstrations of our latest disaster recovery solutions for EMC Avamar and Networker users. We will be networking with our EMC associates throughout the week, so keep an eye out for us if you would like to know more about how our Bare Machine Recovery software could improve your DR strategy.

Since EMC Homebase went end of life last year, our 3^rd party Bare Machine Recovery for Networker has proven to be a favoured replacement for Networker users. We are therefore happy to announce that from the 7^th May we now offer Bare Machine Recovery for EMC Avamar as well.

ABMR recovers EMC Avamar servers to an identical state from any Avamar backup in under 10 minutes. Our software consumes no additional storage and provides one common recovery infrastructure, with no separate backup software to install, schedule and administer. Currently we provide ABMR for Windows and Linux operating systems, with releases for Solaris and AIX to follow.

Find out more about ABMR...

This week also sees the release of a new version of NBMR for Windows. NBMR 6.5 will provide peace of mind for Windows 8 (2012) users. It now works seamlessly with the latest version of Networker (8.0.1) to give you the benefit of fast and reliable recovery. Our NBMR product centralizes, automates, and accelerates data backup and recovery for EMC customers and continues to improve on its unique recovery capabilities.

Staff away for the Christmas break and your main server fails.... are you prepared?

Is your business disaster prepared even when key team members are away for the festive break?

Cristie Management Console (CMC) is an extension for CBMR, NBMR and TBMR, allowing users to remotely manage server backups and recoveries, coordinated from a central console.

If you already have NBMR (NetWorker Bare Machine Recovery) or TBMR (Tivoli Bare Machine Recovery) or CBMR (Cristie's standalone Bare Machine Recovery) installed on your machines you can easily add the management console to provide further benefits to your systems and help manage downtime or scheduled recoveries better.

CMC means you aren't limited to recovering on-site and can provide multiple users with access to backup the required machines. Achieve greater flexibility, rapid reaction and recovery times and a streamlined response that is not hampered by staff holidays with CMC.

The Cristie Management Console puts you in charge of your Cristie BMR products by providing you with centralized control, eliminating the limitations of onsite recoveries and covering staff vacations or illness.

The CMC gives you the convenience of centralized control with all the power and functionality that you would expect, giving you the ability to manage backups in your enterprise environment.

CMC allows you to centralize your disaster recovery and backup response, simplifying and streamlining your disaster recovery plan across multiple environments and locations.

Bare Machine Recovery for EMC NetWorker 8

EMC NetWorker (formally Legato) users can deploy NBMR for their Bare Machine Recovery requirements.

NBMR - Cristie Software's NetWorker Bare Machine Recovery solution provides restore capabilities to NetWorker covered machines and is now available to order direct through EMC Brokerage.

NBMR 6.4.2 supports:

• NetWorker Server 8.0, 7.4 SP5, 7.5 SP4, 7.6 SP1, 7.6 SP2 and 7.6 SP3
• NetWorker Client 8.0, 7.4 SP5, 7.5 SP4, 7.6 SP1, 7.6 SP2 and 7.6 SP3

Cristie have seen an increased interest in the NBMR solution since EMC's HomeBase was announced as End of Life in August 2012. NBMR works in a different way to HomeBase, as NBMR recovers the server to an identical state at a given point in time from NetWorker whereas HomeBase would redeploy the OS and applications and the server would therefore not be identical.

NBMR is unique in its ability to recover directly from NetWorker without requiring any additional backup to be performed. This means that (unlike other BMR software products) NBMR consumes no additional storage or network bandwidth. NBMR also has the advantage of not requiring a separate backup application to be installed, managed and monitored. NBMR also provides the ability to recover the original machine or to new dissimilar hardware or even to a virtual machine.

NBMR works exclusively with EMC NetWorker and is re-sold globally by Cristie's channel partners as well as via EMC Brokerage directly.

NBMR is available for all major Operating Systems: 

• Windows
• Linux
• Solaris
• AIX 

The main features of Cristie's BMR solution for NetWorker:

• Backups and restores performed by NetWorker, retaining the features and advantages of that software
• Multiple servers can be recovered simultaneously
• Designed to maximise speed, flexibility and simplicity of use
• Rebuild a server OS in under ten minutes
• No separate backup software to install, schedule and administer

NBMR can be purchased through EMC Brokerage and through EMC channel partners as well as via Cristie Software approved resellers. For more information and to find your nearest reseller email us at sales@cristie.com or visit www.cristie.com/purchase/

If you would like further information on pricing and purchasing please email us directly at sales@cristie.com and we would be happy to help.

Bare Machine Recovery solutions for TSM and NetWorker from Cristie Software

Include BMR in your Disaster Recovery plan simply by adding one of Cristie Software’s BMR bolt-on solutions. At Cristie Software we can enhance the capabilities of both IBM Tivoli Storage Manager and EMC NetWorker with solutions that add essential Bare Machine Recovery functionality.

With support for Windows, Solaris, Linux and AIX, you can make your IT DR plan simple and efficient and recover your data in less than 10 minutes, allowing you to reliably meet your RPO and RTOs. No specialist training or additional IT skills are required to operate the step-by-step wizard for data recovery.

Cristie Software BMR solutions don’t require extra servers to run and store backups as they use the existing backups generated from TSM and NetWorker so there is no duplication of data and no need for additional storage.

Our solutions offer benefits including recovery to dissimilar hardware, fully automated recoveries, server migration for Physical and/or Virtual machines, data backup and protection, and 24hr 365 days a year support for priority one issues.

Why do I need BMR for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager?

TBMR provides fast automated recovery for Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) users. In the event of a server failure, TBMR will recover the operating system and applications direct from the TSM backup. The recovery can be to the original or to new dissimilar hardware or to a virtual machine.

TBMR is unique in its ability to recover directly from TSM and without requiring any additional backup to be performed. This means that (unlike other BMR software products) TBMR consumes no additional storage or network bandwidth. TBMR also has the advantage of not requiring a separate backup application to be installed, managed and monitored.

Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) is IBM’s enterprise class backup and archiving software and TBMR works exclusively with TSM and is re-sold by IBM and its channel partners worldwide as the recommended BMR solution for TSM.

Why do I need an additional BMR product for NetWorker?

The Bare Metal Recovery feature that is included with NetWorker provides a good solution for Windows 2008/2008R2 and Windows 7 machines but does not currently support any other operating systems and has limited support for recovery to dissimilar hardware. Along with EMC announcing end of life notice for HomeBase product on the 12th August this year, what other software can EMC NetWorker customers use for BMR?

Cristie Software’s NBMR (NetWorker Bare Machine Recovery) solution will provide value to NetWorker users who need a heterogeneous solution to support all their Windows Platforms (2003/XP through to 2008/2008R2) as well as their Linux, Solaris and AIX machines. In addition NBMR allows recoveries to completely dissimilar hardware (to both physical and virtual machines) and supports NetWorker Server/Client Versions 7.4 SP5 to 8.
