Unlimited Snapshots for Fast Recovery and Minimal Data Loss

Zero-impact, zero reservation snapshots reduce RPO and RTO for near-zero recovery time and data loss IceWEB’s snapshot capability on its Unified Data Storage Appliances can theoretically support the creation of an unlimited number of snapshots, thus reducing the recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) both locally and in the cloud, in the event of any disaster or server failure (physical or virtual).

IceWEB IceSTORM OS

Flexible Snapshot Capabilities

The IceSTORM OS on IceWEB Unified Storage Appliances supports all four types of snapshots (AoW, CoW, Full Copy and Split Mirror) providing a truly flexible and nimble storage solution for your cloud computing approach.

Closely tied to IceWEB’s ability to scale to an unlimited number of snapshots is the flexibility that IceSTORM OS gives organizations to manage snapshots and then utilize them once they are created. Using the IceSTORM OS organizations may:

• Create snapshots based upon a preset schedule
• Manually initiate a snapshot at any time
• Create a consistency group by identifying a group of volumes associated with a particular host or application and then initiating a snapshot across of all those volumes simultaneously
• Read from the snapshot to do a backup or perform a search to comply with an eDiscovery request
• Convert an existing snapshot from read-only to read/write or create a read/write snapshot so the data on the snapshot may be read from and written to during testing and development
