SMV, Inc. Launches SAN-Boot Protection Software for Linux and AIX

SMV, Inc., provider of storage virtualization
software for Linux and AIX systems, announced the general
availability of SMV-OP version 3.2 for Linux and AIX.

SMV-OP is
designed for operating system, database file system and continuous data
protection in a centrally managed SAN-boot environment, providing
instant recovery with minimal manual procedures. SMV-OP’s
snapshot-based protection restores the system disk to a previous
working state without having to reconfigure host bios, or stop the host
computer. SMV-OP’s featured progressive recovery increases system
availability, allowing users to access applications and data as soon as
the recovery process is instigated. The ability to seamlessly recover
operating system, coupled with high system availability, significantly
reduces the user’s TCO and increases productivity by minimizing
downtime.

"SMV-OP provides a flexible approach to AIX system recovery," said
Bai Gang, VP of Marketing for H3C Corporation, Hangzhou, China. "Unlike
typical disk-imaging restore utilities that restore the operating
system from the backup volume, SMV-OP has the ability to boot AIX from
the source volume — saving IT administrator a lot of grace when it
comes to failure recovery."

SMV-OP’s point-in-time recovery also protects business data. It
features agent-less deployment, graphic user interface, robust recovery
scheme and adaptive support of heterogeneous environment.
