REO with Protection OS data backup software is an integrated, scalable solution that reduces operating costs by increasing the reliability and performance of existing backup and recovery environments. Ideal for organizations that require backup and recovery software that provides rapid access to data to meet business or legal requirements, REO with Protection OS utilizes enterprise-class virtualization and disk technology to improve data storage and data recovery performance. Standard on all REO disk-to-disk appliances, REO Protection OS uniquely supports backups to both disk, virtual tape data storage devices and/or a virtual tape library, perfect for tiered storage environments, providing a wide range of interoperability that preserves existing software investments and virtually eliminates the risk of obsolescence when upgrading backup software. In addition, the patent-pending Dynamic Virtual Tape feature allows the use of thin provisioning to increase storage efficiency and reduce media costs. REO with Protection OS is an economical, easy-to-implement solution that complements and protects existing investments in backup software and tape automation.
The REO Protection OS and REO SERIES® data storage solution: Data backup software and hardware that offer more flexibility and better resource allocation than other backup and recovery software/hardware combinations
REO SERIES with Protection OS virtualization provides significant performance and management benefits that are not available with general purpose disk-based backup systems. For example, when configured as virtual tape, REO appliances write backup data sequentially and in large blocks, which results in greater backup performance. With the ability to emulate a physical tape library, existing backup software can easily manage the REO appliance, track and move virtual tape cartridges, and maintain retention policies. And backup software support for multiple media formats allows a REO virtual tape library to be combined with all popular open systems or Windows-based backup software, physical tape drives or libraries as part of a disk-to-disk-to-tape data protection solution. Add on Dynamic Virtual Tape (DVT), a patent-pending technology that ensures that no storage capacity is wasted while eliminating the manual effort and guesswork of sizing, configuring, provisioning, and deleting virtual tape cartridges and users can create virtual tape cartridges that automatically expand or shrink as needed to match the exact capacity requirements of the backup operation.
Backup and recovery software should work closely with your existing data storage system to enhance your tiered storage environment, without lots of additional investment. REO Protection OS data backup software gets the job done!
