STORServer VM Backup With Unlimited Capacity Licensing

STORServer,
Inc.,
provider of backup solutions for the mid-market, announces the
addition of STORServer VM Backup licensing to its list of unlimited capacity licenses.

The VMB software controls backups
of VMware virtual environments through a graphical interface.

Capacity licensing is a bundle of
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager and STORServer software products and
services that offers pricing and licensing with a per-TB metric.
Users can install as many individual products as needed for their
environment, and license charges are calculated by the amount of
storage backed up or archived rather than the number of machines or
applications licensed. There is no per-server, per-installation or
processor value unit (PVU) charge; users are charged for the
terabyte that is stored in TSM primary storage pools and FastBack
repositories.

11 software titles
that deliver
data protection capabilities,
the STORServer Capacity license
provides:

• Scalability with broad
  platform support.
• Target-side and source-side data
  deduplication.
• Support for virtual environment
  protection and management.
• Online, consistent and centralized
  data protection for databases, mySAP/SAP R3 environments, email
  servers running IBM Lotus Domino or Exchange.
• Item-level recovery of Exchange email objects.
• LAN-free backup and restore
  operations that utilize the SAN to remove data transfer from the LAN
  providing backup and restore processing while minimizing network
  traffic.
• File-system and application-aware
  snapshots and continuous data protection
• Bare machine recovery for Windows
  or Linux servers that are already protected with Instant Restore appliance

"More customers are moving
to Capacity licensing as it shifts the burden of licensing from
machines by processor or core to a simple matter of how many
terabytes are under management by Tivoli Storage Manager,"
said Bill Smoldt, president of STORServer. "For customers
with large numbers of machines and processors, as well as a costly
number of agents and other technology requirements to license,
capacity licensing can provide a significant savings."

The following products are included
in the capacity licensing offering without any limit to the number of
licenses installed:
