Hyderabad, June 27 Hewlett Packard today announced the roll out of a range of disk-based storage products that simplify the cumbersome task of managing rapidly growing data.
Apart from creating backups, these products help streamline retrieval of information.
Through HP StorageWorks, the company announced a slew of products based on data de-duplication technology. These meet the requirements of not just an individual, but the growing needs of small and medium business segment as also enterprises.
“The availability of these products is backed by a strong consulting, training and implementation services through its partners,” according to Mr Jim Wagstaff, Vice-President - StorageWorks Division, HPAsia Pacific.
In a conference call hosted from Singapore along with representatives of HP India, Mr Wagstaff explained how the rapid explosion of data continues to engage IT managers. No one size fits all. Therefore, they have products and solutions that meet a small household with data storage requirement all the way up to enterprises.
It is estimated that there are about 1.5 million small and medium sized enterprises in the country alone managing their business through personal computers. Of them, 70 per cent are with offices spread around in more than one location. This poses a challenge in terms of protection and securing data. DATA DE- DUPLICATION
The Country Head of HP StorageWorks(India), Mr Manoj Suvarna, said “average requirement of these small firms varies from anywhere between 220 gigabytes to about four or five times of that. This is where de-duplication technologies help. Through this, most of the information, which is not regularly used, is backed up.”
The amount of disk and memory space required is reduced by technology developed by HP Labs. This helps create more capacity. Through de-duplication technology and HP products, it is possible to keep back-ups on disks. This is offered through simple USB access and goes on to higher levels where even parallel disaster recovery sites could be created, he said.
