Seven10 Enhances Software Backup Line

Seven10 Storage Software, LLC has announced enhancements to its object storage data protection suite; StorFirst backup EMC Edition (formerly StorFirst Altus) and StorFirst backup Hitachi Edition (formerly StorFirst Apollo).

Endorsed by partners and end-users, it offers a software solution for replication and DR of EMC Centera and Hitachi HCP object storage devices. The solution offers purpose-built replication of the content residing on these object repositories to tape, virtual tape and cloud storage. It offers measures that provide customers with an additional level of protection from data loss as well as compliance with regulatory requirements.

The enhancements to the backup software platform are tailored for object storage technology sold by storage vendors EMC and Hitachi. The software advancements will help enterprise customers cut costs by up to 50% by implementing a replication and restore process designed for unstructured data and built to eliminate copy data. Furthermore, it reduces the risk of data loss and facilitates compliance by ensuring a second copy of data reside off-site, on removable, highly protected storage.
