Tributary Connects HP StoreOnce to HP NonStop Systems

Tributary Systems, Inc. announced the native attachment of the HP StoreOnce D2D de-duplication solution to HP NonStop Systems.

Tributary CEO Shawn Sabanayagam said at HP Discover in Las Vegas, NE: "Now enterprises running mission critical applications on HP NonStop systems can take advantage of the improved deduplication efficiency and reduced bandwidth requirements provided by the HP StoreOnce D2D VTL and de-duplication backup system."

An HP OEM storage supplier for 16 years, the company can provide a native attachment to the StoreOnce D2D backup systems to enterprises relying on HP NonStop systems, by using Tributary’s LMM (Library Media Manager) backup/media management application.

LMM makes the StoreOnce D2D VTL and de-duplication appliance look to the NonStop like an HP MSL or HP EML tape library. Tributary’s SMM/LMM media management software application is a backup/media management application for NonStop servers and has been supplied to HP’s NonStop Enterprise Division since 1997 under an OEM agreement.

Tributary’s Storage Director/ViTAL solution enables StoreOnce attachment to other host platforms, including other HP systems (HP-UX, OpenVMS, Linux), IBM Power Systems (running IBM i up to v7.1, AIX or Linux) and open systems (Windows, Linux, UNIX).

StoreOnce Backup Systems feature a federated deduplication engine that enables moving data across various systems without rehydrating the data, thereby improving deduplication efficiency and reducing the required data bandwidth. Designed for enterprises, the StoreOnce Backup System has backup storage capacity from 2TB to 768TB, and speeds of up to 28TB/hr.
