IBM Lotus Notes / Domino

Challenges
Provisioning storage for ever-proliferating messages and attachments is a major difficulty for administrators; planned and unplanned downtime of email, now a mission-critical business tool, is unacceptable; the burden of constantly acquiring and (especially) managing new storage to keep up with growing needs is expensive.

Storage Engine Solution

Storage Engine's data protection and storage optimization suite, Synchronism, delivers the following benefits for IBM® Lotus Notes/Domino messaging environments:

• Provisioning storage is easy and efficient.
• Maximized storage capacity utilization through automated, policy-based consolidation and migration of attachments from your primary data store provides great relief to your system.
• Instant recovery from accidental deletions, corrupted messages, missing mailboxes, etc., through data recoverability features that protect data stores where mirroring and replication don’t.
• Messaging data is available 24x7xForever because data stores remain online during backup and Synchronism's support for no-single-point-of-failure configurations protects against server-, drive-, cabinet-, and/or network-level failure.
• Automated off-site data protection through remote replication.
• Full, differential, or incremental ZeroImpact Backup of messaging data with data consistency delivers unprecedented speed, granularity, and accuracy – maximizing ROI on your backup system.
• Migrating to a more powerful server is a simple matter of point-and-click.

Maximum ROI, Lower TCO

• Uninterrupted access to email allows for continual business productivity and extraction of maximum ROI from messaging systems.
• Squeezes the most use out of existing storage capacity, maximizing its ROI.
• Enables lowering of total costs by reducing the administrative time and personnel required to manage storage for messaging applications.
• Reduces the amount of total capacity you need to own to store messages/attachments.
• Allows aged attachments to be migrated to low-cost disk.

Synchronism delivers
