Sepaton Backups Oracle

SEPATON, Inc. released DeltaStor DBeXstream software that can backup and restore large databases at leading rates while also delivering capacity reduction through byte-differential deduplication.

The software is part of the 6.1 release of its enterprise-optimized protection software, which powers its S2100 systems.
 
"Until now, no technology could effectively deduplicate databases that were backed up through multiple ports in parallel (multistreaming), forcing enterprises to choose between fast backup and efficient capacity reduction," said Linda Mentzer, VP of product management and marketing, SEPATON. "EMC Data Domain’s integration of Boost with Oracle RMAN attempted to address the challenge of delivering fast backups for Oracle databases, but their option requires the installation of third party software on the database servers, which introduces complexity and performance issues. SEPATON’s breakthrough DeltaStor DBeXstream is the only technology that efficiently deduplicates multistreamed and multiplexed enterprise database backups for any very large database, including Oracle, SQL, and DB2. With it, enterprises get both maximum backup and restore performance and industry leading deduplication ratios, cutting the cost of VLDB data protection."
 
"Large companies run large complex data sets. Database performance is critical – both in production and when being protected," said Steve Duplessie, founder and senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "Normally, users need to compromise between backup speed and deduplication efficiency, but SEPATON’s new release takes that compromise right off the table. Large shops should welcome this capability with open arms."
 
In addition to DBeXstream, the 6.1 release includes other innovations. SEPATON delivers Symantec-certified support for NetBackup OST A.I.R. and Accelerator and also supports Optimized Synthetics and Granular Restore. The 6.1 release includes new hardware accelerated replication, increased daily system throughput, and transparent space reclamation across all backup applications.
