Isilon
Isilon Backup Accelerator Node
High-speed and scalable backup and restore solution
Isilon Backup Accelerator delivers performance across four concurrent streams eliminating the cost, complexity and risk of downtime associated with traditional back-up operations.

Managing shrinking backup windows can impact business productivity. At the same time tape backup, disaster recovery, compliance and archiving requirements must be managed to ensure reliable and fast system recovery in the event of failures or disasters.

The Backup Accelerator delivers performance across four concurrent streams eliminating the cost, complexity, and risk of downtime associated with traditional back-up operations.

The Backup Accelerator provides a highly flexible solution that seamlessly integrates with your current tape infrastructure and your existing backup software and process. It supports both two-way and three-way NDMP to accommodate your specific infrastructure requirements.
