New Features and Expanded Technical Functionality Details:
- Encryption
- With data security becoming an increasingly disconcerting issue, SEP offers Blow Fish algorithm SEP and an additional AES 256-bit encryption. All data is encrypted on the client side, while keys are stored on the backup server. Only encrypted data travels across the network.
- VMware and VMware VCB
- `SEP sesam' now supports VMware virtual environments at the enterprise level with the `SEP sesam' ESX-client as well as VMware Virtual Consolidated Backup (VCB) in all variations.
- Disaster Recovery down to Bare Metal
- Recent enhancements to the `SEP sesam' product allow restoration of data to the lowest levels possible. Bare System Recovery (`SEP sesam' BSR) can be integrated into centralized management backup strategies using the `SEP sesam' GUI. New tasks and activities for a fast and universal Disaster Recovery on systems running Windows - including recovery to new hardware - have been integrated into the new release.
- Groupware Modules Added
- Novell Groupwise along with the Netware Client is fully-supported. SEP offers a complete backup solution for Novell OES2 environments.
- The Zarafa Module allows easier and faster backup including single mail and single item restore with the new online backup module for Zarafa Groupware Server.
- Disk-to-Disk-Tape: Data Storage, Off-Site Storage
- System Administrators can store data from Disk-to-Disk-Tape. Using the `SEP sesam' virtual tape library, the transfer of data to tape or removable media is fast and easy. Customized production planning and control is now easier than ever for the effective and secure back-up of important enterprise data.
- `SEP sesam' Improved Availability for SAN and NAS environments
- `SEP sesam' 3.4 offers enhanced data availability, making it ideal for SAN, NAS and all other common network storage devices. The new version ensures against ANY loss of critical company data. The selected back-up strategy can be automated and controlled from either a central or remote location.
- `SEP sesam' methodology is readily available for all popular operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Unix and Linux.
- Automated Data Restores
- `SEP sesam' can be set up to perform automated restores to constantly monitor data and to ensure data backup integrity assurance. Enhancements to the restore function ease the workload on overtaxed IT management organizations. The powerful and easy-to-use `SEP sesam' scheduler (SEPuler) with calendaring allows for management of even the most complex data management tasks. Data files can be restored using the included Restore Wizard (for example a complete generation restore). The restore can be accomplished simply and easily.
- Secure Data Transfer
- Secure network data transfer will be accomplished through `SEP sesam' SSL and SSH handling. The Firewall Port-Control protects against intrusion from outside the network and prevents unauthorized access from within. Using our Java-based GUI `SEP sesam' allows remote administration from every operating system.
- `SEP sesam' Online Modules
- `SEP sesam' Online Modules maximize the security of all database and groupware solutions. Online Modules allow the efficient scheduling and planning of backups to take place during the production day. All `SEP sesam' Online Modules are certified for Groupware (Novell Groupwise, OpenXchange, Scalix, etc.) and ERP Applications (SAP, ABAS). The `SEP sesam' Online Database modules and SEP Live Recovery (Manageable Database Shadowing) allow automated data mirroring to keep the data available at all times.
Additionally, SEP has a corresponding certified release running SAP on Oracle 10g, which is now product-ready and tested for medium to very large enterprise customers. The certification includes Linux 64-Bit, Microsoft Windows 64-bit and Unix 64-bit operating systems.
