LEGATO Teams with HP To Release An Industry-First For Backup And Recovery Of OpenVMS Servers
Announcement posted by Legato Systems Inc. 27 Sep 2002
OpenVMS Customers Who Select the LEGATO NetWorker Solution to Receive Direct Technical Support from HP
LEGATO Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGTO), a worldwide leader in enterprise content and storage management software, today announced it is teaming with HP to provide data protection solutions for HP AlphaServer systems running the OpenVMS operating system. LEGATO will deliver NetWorker(tm) Storage Node and NetWorker Client for OpenVMS, and HP will support customers who select the new LEGATO solution.
Marking an industry first is the LEGATO NetWorker Storage Node for OpenVMS. With the Storage Node, back ups of AlphaServer systems running OpenVMS and OpenVMS Clusters will now be done directly to SCSI or shared fibre-attached backup devices in a heterogeneous environment. Until this time customers could not deploy OpenVMS in a heterogeneous fibre-channel backup solution and share those devices with other operating systems. They could only back up over the network or be limited to an OpenVMS-specific solution. With LEGATO NetWorker (r), management across a heterogeneous environment is centralized on the NetWorker Server, running on UNIX, Windows or Linux.
Todays announcement demonstrates LEGATOs commitment to providing reliable backup and recovery solutions for HP OpenVMS customers, said Richard Wendroff, vice president, HP Business Unit, LEGATO Systems. We are excited about HPs confidence in LEGATO technology, demonstrated by their offer to support customers who prefer LEGATO NetWorker over their current backup solution.
The LEGATO solution also includes the NetWorker Client for OpenVMS, backing up Alpha or VAX servers over the network. These new LEGATO NetWorker options for OpenVMS are part of a total heterogeneous data protection package for enterprise customers requiring heterogeneous backup and recovery across all platforms.
"HP OpenVMS customers require industry-leading storage management solution options that support both direct attach and complex heterogeneous fibre-based SAN environments," said Mark Gorham, vice president, HP OpenVMS Software Group. "We are pleased that our customers will have a robust solution available to them from a reliable industry leader such as LEGATO that can help reduce network traffic and improve overall backup and recovery performance."
