Singular Benefits |
|
Bull’s Singular approach to data management delivers operational efficiencies that you did not think were possible. You gain this value because the StoreWay Calypso Singular architecture allows you to share a single set of common services used for backup, recovery, replication, copy, archive and retrieve operations.
Together these services are called the Common Technology Engine. This engine delivers optimized data movement, easy expansion to support changing business requirements, and secure control. This value is provided in software services used commonly for all data management. These capabilities make it possible to provide more access to users, and raise the value of managed data to your business
|
Singular Efficiencies |
|
Imagine an environment in which your backup and archive data copies could take less disk space, you could get more use from storage and library devices that you already own, and your administrators needed less time to manage data.
That environment is here. Calypso’s unique Singular approach provides data protection, archive, replication and resource management – all managed in a single Unified Console view – using shared systems, networks and storage devices.
Efficiency innovations include better disk-based data handling, deduplication, single-pass disk scanning for dramatic performance improvements, built-in data encryption, compression and secure access. All of which combine to lower your costs of data management by giving you more from your current infrastructure.
|
Singular Search |
|
Imagine an environment in which your business users could enter a word or two in an easy-to-use Web Interface, and find any file that they needed from their desktop. Imagine if your business users could easily browse and restore their own backup and archive data rather than relying on administrators.
Imagine a legal discovery process in which the legal team had direct access to search and collect any copy of data that they need – from backups or archives, across disk and tape, covering end-user files as well as email. Now imagine that they don’t need help from administrators to get it done.
That environment is also here. Calyspo’s unique Singular approach creates a single virtualized pool of managed data, providing a foundation for easy and efficient access by business people. This easy access transforms managed data into information with the power to improve the competitiveness and productivity of your business.
Find out how the Singular approach can benefit you by working with Bull experts to walk through the details and see the numbers. Let us help you lower the costs of data management while raising its value to your business.

Easy Access: Search Web Interface |
|
Data growth continues to put stress on information technology (IT) infrastructures, demanding ever-increasing budgets and equipment. Unstructured file systems and e-mail data present particular challenges in growth and management, because of the nature of how and when the data is created. Users are typically not responsive to quotas, and are typically disorganized in saving and naming their files and in managing their e-mail folders. This makes it more difficult to determine which files and messages are business-critical and which can be retired to help control data growth. This data chaos also makes it difficult for administrators to help users to find missing or lost files when required.
Calypso offers a radically better approach that removes the degrees of separation typically found between users and their data. Instead of requiring users to work through a helpdesk and administration teams, Calypso’s Search interface provides users with easy-to-use, direct web access to files and e-mail managed by Calypso software. The Search interface operates against the single, virtual pool of managed data created by Calypso’s unique Singular approach, making it easier and more cost effective to search, access and make use of that data.
The Calypso Search interface services the growing demands of business compliance and legal discovery teams as well as end-users. It includes capabilities designed to assist organizations in responding to legal discovery actions and compliance audits, and to enable higher levels of business productivity and competitiveness by offering users direct access to data.

Get More Data on Disk and Tapes : data deduplication |
|
With the industry’s first end-to-end, block-based software deduplication, Calypso offers a holistic approach to deduplication that extends across all tiers of secondary storage including disk and tape; encompassing global reduction of stored data across backups, archives, clients and platforms in both remote and centralized configurations. The result? Unprecedented operational efficiencies and cost savings. An end-to-end approach unlocks IT benefits which include faster network data transfers, shorter backup windows, faster recoveries, and more efficient utilization of your secondary storage infrastructure, thereby reducing the amount of disk/tape used for backup and archive copies by up to 90 percent.
Deduplication with Calypso is especially helpful for:
End-to-end elimination of duplicate data across multiple backup cycles, and across backup and archive data stores
Faster recovery of data covering longer retention periods with automated migration of long-term data on tape-based backup media
Better manageability with optimized storage/tiering of data.

More Data Managed in Less Time: Data Classification Enabler |
|
This feature captures and track changes written to a file system or mail server, and eliminates the need to perform a disk scan or a dababase scan process to find file changes or new mails Scanning is otherwise required for every backup, archive or resource management job, whether using Calypso software or some other data management option.
Only Calypso is providing the Data Classification Enabler to avoid multiple complete scans. Calypso’s unique Singular approach means that this feature benefits not just one type of data management, but all types that are in use together on the same client system.
|
Higher Reliability: GridStor™ Services |
|
GridStor operations are built into the CTE which raises the reliability of getting your data management job done. GridStor failover capabilities complete jobs when servers and networks go down, by resuming those jobs on alternate network paths. Jobs are resumed – not restarted – which helps critical jobs complete when windows are tight and you cannot restart long jobs.
The Singular approach means that GridStor capabilities benefit all data management jobs – including backup, recovery, copy, archive and retrieve.
GridStor capabilities also span storage devices and drives, and append data copies to partially full tapes. This typically results in less disk and tape used. The CTE preserves easy, one-step recovery – making it practical to get the best value from your storage equipment.
|
Secure Data Management: Built-In Encryption |
|
StoreWay Calypso also builds in encryption options, to ensure that data moved across networks and data stored on devices is secure from hacking, sniffing and theft when tapes go missing.
Robust key management makes StoreWay Calypso software better, because keys can be stored where and how required. Encryption is only as secure as the decryption keys. Also, the same encryption policies can be applied to replication, backup and archive data copies with comprehensive key management automated as part of the process |
Efficient Data Movement: Auxiliary Copy |
|
Getting the best value from a tiered storage environment requires the capability to move data efficiently from one class of device to another as data ages, becomes less frequently accessed and less valuable.
The StoreWay Calypso Singular approach builds efficient data movement into the process, by providing Auxiliary (Aux) Copy capabilities. Aux Copies of backup and archive data copies can be made at any time, on-demand, and from any copy under management. Aux Copies can be made inline, at the time the initial backup or archive copy is made, such as by creating a backup copy on disk and tape at the same time. Aux Copies can be made from other copies, such as by making a copy from near-line to less expensive off-line storage after the short-term retention period expires. Aux Copy prunes the original data copy from the original disk, to free it for other use as part of the copy process.
Aux Copy capabilities are automated by CTE Storage Policies, to maximize efficiency, and span any type of disk, tape, and optical devices to maximize cost-savings options. Because the Singular approach applies to everything, automated Aux Copy makes it simple for archive pools to span disk and tape media.

Safeguarding Removable Media: Vault Tracker Capabilities |
|
Tracking removable media – such as tapes – can be easy when it is built into the normal process of managing data. Data is only useful when it can be found and recovered. Data stored on removable media is most often rotated to off-site locations, significantly increasing the challenge of tracking and finding the data.
StoreWay Calypso Vault Tracker capabilities simplify the challenge by building in capabilities for managing rotation cycles, tracking the location of individual media and bins, and notifying administrators when media are due back. All of the bells and whistles are included, like FTP notification, foreign media tracking, bar code capabilities and easy, fast reporting.

Single Pane-of-Glass Control: StoreWay Calypso Unified Console |
|
StoreWay Calypso software gives you total management control of data management from a single, unified browser console. This console is easy to learn, efficient to use, and comprehensive in its capability.
|
Fast Point-and-Click Verification: Built-In Reporting |
|
StoreWay Calypso software enables easy, fast reporting as part of the process. Selected with the touch of a button from the Unified Console, you can create reports for replication, backup and archive with point-and-click simplicity.
Schedule reports, attach them to email for easy distribution, and export them in comma-delimited format for spreadsheet analysis.
Prove the value of data management with easy, comprehensive reports.

Scalable, Self-managed Index: An Enterprise-Class Foundation |
|
The StoreWay Calypso SQL Server index is relatively small. Its protection is built into the regular backup cycle by default. You can rebuild an entire StoreWay Calypso data environment at a hot site, quickly and easily, using just the catalog contained in the SQL Server index. StoreWay Calypso Media Agents manage the real work of indexing the backup and archive data copies, and use a distributed relational database to ensure fast performance and scalability. As operational loads increase and change, you can easily add and re-allocate Media Agents. The distributed index is self-managing, because it is written in chunks to storage along with managed data. In the event that the index cannot be found on the Media Agent – or when tapes are being read at disaster recovery sites – the index is read directly from the storage device along with the data.
In short, the normal headaches associated with index management just do not exist with StoreWay Calypso: tape scanning, dedicating tape pools to index protection, and manual management of index protection are all overcome with StoreWay Calypso software. StoreWay Calypso Media Agents run on your choice of UNIX, Linux, and Microsoft Windows systems – in any combination. In this way, StoreWay Calypso software gives you the power of enterprise computing as the foundation for data management across your environment.
