What Does It Do?
Organizations rely on high-performance disk arrays to house important application and database data. Yet on average, 80% of data is seldom accessed - a costly use of premium disk space and limited IT funds. LEGATO DiskXtender 2000 automatically moves inactive data to more cost-effective storage, while maintaining seamless user access. The result? Sizable savings in storage TCO, plus backups and recoveries in as little as one-fifth the time.

• Lower storage total cost of ownership - Inactive data is moved to less expensive storage, reducing the amount of precious IT budgets spent on storage assets.
• Reduce backup completion times - By migrating inactive data to secondary storage, only active data is backed up, significantly reducing backup completion times.
• Recover faster from disaster - When data is migrated, stub files are created on the primary disk(s) as placeholders. In the event of disaster, only stub files and active data need to be recovered, dramatically reducing total recovery times and downtime costs.
• Reduce tape storage costs - Reducing the amount of data to be backed (as a result of migration) equally reduces the number - and cost - of tapes required for full backups.
