About Quest® NetVault®
|
• |
Application protection: Ensure the availability of business-critical applications such as Oracle, SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Domino, DB2, Informix, SAP, and Sybase with application plug-ins. These plug-ins complement native solutions to save you time on integration. No scripting is required to run backup and recovery jobs. |
|
• |
NAS protection: Get advanced data protection for information stored on NAS appliances, including the devices made by Quest, EMC, Hitachi, IBM, NetApp, and Sun. You can reduce traffic over the LAN and maximize performance by backing up data using Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP). NetVault supports many different storage topologies and configurations, allowing you to perform backups directly to a locally attached SCSI device, a SAN-attached device, or a storage device elsewhere on the network. |
|
• |
Enterprise-wide control: Use the web-based interface to configure, manage, and monitor your backup and recovery operations. Convenient wizards guide you through the common tasks, such as creating backup jobs, assigning policies, configuring storage devices, and generating reports. |
|
• |
Back up to disk and tape: Leverage disk- and tape-based backups to a wide range of storage targets, including NAS devices and third-party deduplication appliances. NetVault also allows you to move data from one storage target to another for off-site storage and disaster recovery purposes. |
|
• |
Data deduplication: Reduce your data storage footprint with powerful deduplication technologies. NetVault integrates seamlessly with the Quest DR Series of deduplication systems and the Rapid Data Access (RDA) client-side deduplication technology, enabling you to take full advantage of the system’s powerful deduplication, compression, and replication capabilities. Additionally, NetVault supports software-defined Quest QoreStor™ storage devices (Linux only), which provide the advantage of RDA client-side deduplication. NetVault also supports EMC Data Domain backup and recovery platform, as well as its DD Boost technology for deduplication. |
|
• |
Virtualization support: Extend advanced data protection to VMware and Hyper-V environments. NetVault gives you consistent, reliable, point-and-click backup and restore for virtual environments without requiring you to be an expert. |
|
• |
High-performance multi-streaming: Save time and ease management by backing up multiple workloads simultaneously. |
|
• |
Strong security: Meet regulatory requirements without sacrificing backup windows or deduplication performance with encryption plug-ins for CAST-128, CAST-256, non FIPS compliant AES-256, and FIPS compliant AES-256 algorithm support. Flexible job-level encryption lets you easily select which data to encrypt. |
|
• |
Simple, straight-forward licensing: License NetVault by capacity or by component. This option gives you incredible flexibility to choose the model that best meets the organization’s needs. With component-based licensing, you can choose which modules you need. You can also license NetVault by capacity and deploy an unlimited number of clients or application plug-ins. Quest offers two capacity-based licensing editions for NetVault. One offers great value for growing businesses; the other offers comprehensive protection for large enterprises. |
