Product Name: Solstice DiskSuite
Product Description: Solstice DiskSuite enhances performance, availability, integrity
, and administration of disk systems for medium to large Solaris networks. It provides:
-
Disk mirroring for greater availability:
Solstice DiskSuite duplicates data for high availability storage. The data reconstruction system includes
a number of refinements (such as hot spares and three-way mirroring) that
increase the speed and efficiency of recovery, guaranteeing data replication
consistency even in the event of compound hardware failures.
-
Striping for enhanced performance:
Solstice DiskSuite's striping capabilities distribute files (and thus the I/O load) across multiple disks, thereby
improving performance by increasing disk throughput. Users can also create
a virtual metadevice with larger storage capacity
-
Large file systems for greater capacity:
Solstice DiskSuite reduces the amount of administration work needed to increase the size of a UNIX file
system. Without disrupting users, system administrators using Solstice
DiskSuite can concatenate physical disk partitions, thereby creating a single
virtual disk with larger capacity
-
Journalled file systems for higher availability and integrity:
Solstice DiskSuite increases system availability by vastly reducing the time spent
checking the integrity of the UNIX file system during a reboot operation.
By journalling the UNIX file systems, Solstice DiskSuite safely records
changes in a log before they are applied, which greatly speeds recovery
Solstice DiskSuite is packaged with Solaris Workgroup Server and Solaris Enterprise Server

Product Name: Solstice Backup
Product Description:
Solstice Backup, based on the industry-leading NetWorker product from Legato, provides networked, heterogeneous backup and recovery across enterprise computing environments. Solstice Backup:
-
Provides enterprise-wide data storage management:
Ensuring a consistent approach to data management across the network, Solstice Backup provides high-performance back-up and recovery services to a wide array of
machines on the network, ranging from desktop PCs and UNIX workstations to NetWare and multigigabyte UNIX file servers. Leading storage devices (tape drives, optical disks, autochangers, jukeboxes) are supported.
-
Provides consistent, reliable data protection:
Solstice Backup's automatic on-line backup preserves file consistency
, while automatic verification of backups assure reliability for comprehensive data recovery
- Reduces cost of administration:
Solstice Backup provides centralized
administration through a unified view of the entire data management operation from any point on the network. Intuitive user interfaces simplify administrative tasks such as setting up enterprise-wide backup schedules.
-
Empowers the user:
Solstice Backup users can backup or recover local
files without help from network administrators.
-
Reduces backup time:
Solstice Backup can direct multiple backups and
recoveries through one or more storage devices simultaneously
. Data compression reduces the backup load on the network to speed backup.
-
Manages and protects the enterprise:
The Solstice Backup product family
provides a scalable backup solution that grows to match your capacity and
performance requirements.
