… And Atempo Time Navigator

Isilon Systems announced an integrated enterprise back-up solution combining Isilon’s new Back-up Accelerator and Atempo’s Time Navigator software. The new solution integrates with any enterprise IT environment to significantly reduce the lengthy back-up windows and management complexity associated with traditional NAS and SAN, speeding back-up while minimizing capital and operational expenditures. With the Isilon Back-up Accelerator and Atempo Time Navigator, enterprises can minimize the risk of mission-critical data loss to ensure business continuity throughout the file-based data lifecycle.

"While Atempo’s leading-edge solutions drive increased speed and simplicity for enterprise data protection, the multiple, disparate file systems and limited scalability of traditional storage continue to hinder efficiency in back-up operations," said Kevin Christiansen, director of strategic alliances, Atempo. "However, Isilon’s scale-out NAS delivers a massively scalable, high-performance, single file system to simplify storage management. With the addition of the new Back-up Accelerator, Isilon IQ integrates seamlessly with Atempo’s Time Navigator to eliminate the traditional storage bottleneck and enable enterprise customers to back-up more data, faster and more reliably, with significantly less risk and overhead."

Atempo’s Time Navigator provides an advanced high-performance backup and recovery solution for tiered data protection, simplifying data management throughout the information lifecycle. In combination with the Back-up Accelerator, which delivers industry-leading performance and simplicity for file-based backup, Atempo Time Navigator significantly reduces back-up windows and IT complexity, streamlining back-up management to reduce the risk of business-critical data loss. By leveraging Time Navigator and the Back-up Accelerator, enterprises can seamlessly deploy a robust back-up solution across any IT environment, ensuring maximum efficiency for file-based data backup.

"As the convergence of enterprise data storage needs and scale-out NAS capabilities continues to accelerate, ensuring our solutions provide enterprise-class functionality is critical to meeting customer demand," said Brad Winett, senior director of business development, Isilon Systems. "By integrating our leading scale-out NAS with Atempo’s proven data protection software, Isilon is driving its products deeper into the heart of enterprise IT environments with an integrated data protection solution."
