BACKUP AGILITY

To improve the performance and security of your critical data backup processes, while also tackling the major issues faced by all IT Departments, Bull has developed an innovative alternative to traditional approaches, StoreWay Backup Agility includes:

Guaranteed Service Level Agreements (SLAs) aligned with your business challenges
Pay-per-use billing, so your costs are predictable and manageable
A state-of-the-art technical and regulatory solution that will remain constantly up to date
An optimized and secure backup process
The freedom to refocus your resources on value-added activities
A single point of contact, for responsive and personalized management.

The big advantages of a Private Cloud

With Le cloud by Bull, Bull offers a comprehensive, integrated approach to help its customers get maximum benefit from the Cloud. When it comes to StoreWay Backup Agility this means:

Pay-per-use billing: based on a monthly subscription consisting of a fixed element and a variable charge depending on the amount of backup used, doing away with the need for upfront capital investment (because the systems are owned by Bull) and allowing you to manage your budget.

Data that stays within your organization: that is supervised and administered remotely by Bull. The infrastructures themselves, along with all your data, remain on your premises, which means that you retain total control over their physical security.

A backup process delivered as a service: StoreWay Backup Agility is completely aligned with current trends towards the transformation of IT Departments and their relationships with the business.

From outsourcing to high-availability operation and application maintenance, Bull has recognized expertise in managed services. When it comes to StoreWay Backup Agility, this translates as:

End-to-end support: from up-front consultancy – to ensure effective transformation – through to the implementation and operation of the solution, and its continuous improvement.

Industrial-scale operation: remotely monitored and managed by Bull from one of its services centers, the solution takes advantage of operational best practice.

A single point of contact: for greater simplicity, responsiveness and understanding of your specific operational requirements, your Technical Account Manager (TAM) is your privileged point of contact.

A solution and service levels adapted to your needs

StoreWay Backup Agility is designed to help you control your entire data management life cycle; giving you precisely the guaranteed service levels, cost control and security conditions that you need.

VIRTUALIZATION OF STORAGED INFRASTRUCTURES

StoreWay virtualization solutions answer wide-ranging needs:

• The non-disruptive migration of data between storage systems - load balancing, replacement of equipment,

• The replication between heterogeneous devices – Disaster Recovery involving existing equipment,

• The consolidation and centralization of the administration of storage services (snapshots, clones, thin provisioning, tiering ...) – in order to simplify administration and hide heterogeneity.

StoreWay proposes different solutions:

•EMC VPLEX, addressing data mobility, Disaster Recovery and information sharing. For more information, please contact: storeway_contact@marketing.bull.net

•EMC Symmetrix VMAX FTS (Federated Tiered Storage) to bring Enterprise-Class VMAX value to EMC and non-EMC disk arrays
