Tributary Adds Features to Storage Director Data Protection Solution

Tributary Systems, Inc. has added three features in Release 4.2 of Storage Director: NDMP Target, Copy NAS Image and Data Pinning.

Storage Director is an enterprise data protection solution that combines software with scalable cache and disk array to automate how, when and where enterprises backup and restore data.

A robust, feature-rich data protection solution, Storage Director is in use at Fortune 20, Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 1000 companies as well as small and middle market companies in banking, financial services, retail, telecommunications and healthcare.

• With the NDMP Target feature, Storage Director can be a backup target for NDMP host servers.
• With the Copy NAS Image feature, virtual and/or physical tapes can be created from backup storage Director writes to a NAS file server, enabling rapid data restores without rebuilding files.
• The Data Pinning feature provides the option to keep specific data sets in high-speed cache for immediate restores and also write them to the backup target. The data will reside at both places until overwritten by the backup application.
