Local Restore

A local copy of ALL your corporate assets are stored with the DS3 Gateway. This allows for fast restores, even of large data stores such as mail or database servers, which are initiated immediately (no waiting for tapes to be delivered) and occur at LAN speeds.

DS3 DataVaulting stores a copy of all backed up data with the DS3 Gateway at the customer site in addition to storing the data at the state of the art DS3 Data Center. The DS3 Gateway is sized to allow for a copy of all customer data to be stored locally. This allows large volumes of data (e.g. a 50 GB Exchange store) to be restored very quickly at LAN speeds. The DS3 Gateway even contains a second 1GB Ethernet to allow for a “restore” network to be established to allow the restore to take place without impacting your production LAN.

Benefits

• Immediate Initiation – since the data is locally resident on the gateway, the restore can be initiated immediately without waiting for data to be delivered from an off-site location.

• Reduced Recovery Times – the data is restored over the LAN at 100 Mbps or 1Gbps. Even if you have a 100 Mbps production LAN, you can use the DS3 Gateway’s second Ethernet port to create a direct connection to the target server to restore at 1GB speeds without impacting your production LAN.

Technical Specifications

• Latest version of all files, databases and mail stores are available locally on the Gateway
• The Gateway is sized to allow sufficient hard disk space for ALL your data.
• Second NIC on the Gateway allows restores on a private network which is independent of your production LAN.
