SnapSearch and Recovery Software by Network Appliance

Network Appliance, Inc. has unveiled SnapSearch and Recovery software. The new software is the latest move by NetApp to tightly integrate technologies that address, with unmatched content awareness, the ongoing challenges that IT administrators and end users face when searching for backed-up data. SnapSearch and Recovery software for the enterprise provides IT staff, legal teams, and end users with a fast, efficient, simple, and nondisruptive way to restore files from online backup, providing unmatched simplicity for data recovery. SnapSearch and Recovery software is integrated with the Information Server 1200 platform, which NetApp OEMs from Kazeon.

SnapSearch and Recovery software, which is tightly integrated with the suite of NetApp Snapshot technologies including, SnapVault software, enables administrators and end users to rapidly search through thousands of consolidated online backups, with a user-friendly and familiar Web-search interface to perform instant restores of individual files or folders. This means customers can more easily meet IT service-level agreements (SLAs) and satisfy the increasingly stringent requirements of legal discovery and regulatory compliance.

SnapSearch and Recovery software helps IT help desks and end users perform advanced searches to greatly simplify the recovery of files, thus eliminating the need to know the precise location or specific name of a file. This means that NetApp SnapVault customers now have the ability to instantly search and recover backup data distributed across data centers and remote offices from a central location. With hundreds or even thousands of online backups often stored online, SnapSearch and Recovery software visually displays which files are identical and which are unique, making file recovery easier than ever before.

Additionally, built-in data classification and migration capabilities enable NetApp administrators to enhance their SnapVault backup and SnapMirror data-replication operating environments by reducing the number of files on primary storage that are regularly backed up and replicated by classifying and migrating files onto secondary storage. The results are dramatic: improved primary storage usage, reduced backup windows for primary storage, and significantly less data being replicated.
