Enterprise
Backup & Restore

Strong, robust, efficient

EBR demands fast and efficient data storage and retrieval functionality. To minimize costly interruptions, outages, and service level penalties, you also need data storage that’s flexible, scalable, easy to use, interoperable with other technologies, and most importantly economical. Tape backup is anything but this.

OpenDrives EBR solution

Our solution incorporates enterprise-grade NAS storage that doesn’t lock you into proprietary technical solutions or vendor approaches. It can greatly improve your EBR operations while serving as a launching pad to upgrading your general-purpose enterprise storage infrastructure.

The challenges with legacy solutions

Tape is still a go-to method for basic data backup, restore, and archiving. It gets the job done, if that’s all you’re trying to do.

If you’re wanting to reduce operational expenses while adopting forward-leaning technologies in the data center, tape is not the answer. With tape-based solution, you grapple with the following problems:

Slow speeds that run the risk of incurring costly SLA penalties due to restoration delays
The need for manual intervention that complicates management and oversight efforts
Hidden costs that negatively affect ROI, TCO, and solution longevity
Reduced reliability and increased chance of data corruption or loss
Complex interfaces that aren’t very usable
