Universal Backup Device with Fibre Channel Disk to Disk Backup with Affordable Deduplication and Replication for IBM Power Systems Executive Overview Copyright (c)2015 Electronic Storage Corporation
Universal Backup Device Saves OS/400 objects, including SAVSYS 21, to local disk, NAS, SAN or deduplication appliance allowing for offsite replication and/ or cloud storage Supports speeds up to 409 MB/second for a single backup. Looks EXACTLY like a tape drive to your IBM i. Compatible with BRMS, Robot/SAVE, TA Tools and in-house backup. Compatible with all FC capable OS/400 versions. Removes need to pre-create tapes with size restrictions. Removes load, unload and rewind wait time Removes DSPTAP and CHKTAP delay Universal Backup Device (UBD) is a Fibre Channel connected appliance that appears as a tape device to your IBM i (iseries, AS/400, System i) host. This means you can replace your tape drive with UBD and continue to backup and restore via BRMS, Robot/Save or other backup software package without programming changes. The only difference to the operator is instead of getting up to retrieve and load one or more tape cartridges, they can use the UBD browser-based interface to create and load a new tape image before backup. UBD also supports the CL commands for automating the tape image creation and selection from the host side, if you prefer to do so. UBD can be used as a gateway device to store backups on your NAS, SAN or any deduplication appliance that supports CIFS, NFS or iscsi connections. Fibre Channel Disk to Disk Backup for IBM Power Systems UBD can run up to 4x faster than an LTO4 tape drive. UBD Executive Overview Pg 2
UBD with Replacador Automatically replicates tape image files to offsite or DR location Operates as a scheduled task Simplifies your backup process No longer have to transport tapes to offsite location Makes replication affordable To complete your tapeless backup solution, Replacador gives you the ability to replicate your data via your network or the internet to the cloud, a server at an offsite location, or an USB external drive. Files safely stores and available for restores whenever needed Deduplication with replication adds an extra level of security to protecting your data. This allows you to affordably create complete deduplicated copies of your IBM i data while saving storage space. Fully integrated with UBD for seamless use Using deduplication provided free with Microsoft Windows 2012 R2, Replacador replicates your deduped data to the location of your choice. Backup jobs can run full speed, because Microsoft deduplicates the data after it is written to disk. The process can be run on demand or as a scheduled task. UBD with Replacador has a low cost of entry and low cost of maintenance, making deduplication with replication an affordable solution for your business.

UBD vs. Tape Comparison Allows you to manage your backups remotely from any chair anywhere. Gives you immediate ROI as a result of its simple install and use unplug your tape drive and plug in UBD Eliminates the possibility of human error and ensures reliable backups Seamless integration with iseries systems and current backup procedures means little training required Achieve peace of mind and start to focus on your business instead of your backups Shortens backup windows and eliminates manual processes required for managing tapes IBM Global Financing is now available UBD FACT COMPARISON TAPE FAST & SECURE BACKUP Convenient & reliable Allows users more access time Shortest backup time SIMPLE TO IMPLEMENT & SIMPLE TO USE Low risk of physical media failure Easy to restore to off-site facility Eliminate shipping costs Unlimited file size acceptable FASTEST RECOVERY SPEEDS Reduced manual labor Easy remote backups Gateway option to dedup appliances Immediate recall of lost data More secure with more layers with less cost EASY IMPLEMENTATION = IMMEDIATE ROI Available in software and software/hardware configurations Vendor-generic for dedupe & cloud systems - works with all UBD is the best backup solution for IBM i systems. When you compare the facts, UBD outperforms tape in every way. One reason is that tape provides a false confidence that data is 100% backed up and retrievable. When it comes to tape restores, the failure rate is high (most estimates run from 40-70%); although the data may have been backed up, if it can t be restored when it is needed then that backup is totally useless and that could be a disaster. UBD gives you confidence in your backups and frees you up to focus on other areas of your business. UBD Executive Overview Pg 5
