Introducing Atempo HyperStream Server

Atempo HyperStream Server is a stream-oriented, optimized storage service option for Atempo Time Navigator that shortens backup windows and decreases the amount of storage required on backup devices. As machines are backed up, Atempo HyperStream Server deduplicates and compresses the data to reduce the transmitted volume to a level acceptable for low bandwidth connections. Backups that once took hours can be reduced to minutes, remote offices can share the central backup infrastructure, and fewer backup tapes or less backup disk space is required.

Deduplication Within and Across Data Streams
Atempo HyperStream Server not only deduplicates within a single backup stream, but also extends deduplication across groups of servers and desktops. For even greater performance and capacity savings, Atempo HyperStream Server can compress the data.

Replication for Failover and Disaster Recovery
For added reliability, Atempo HyperStream Server supports block-level, incremental replication to another Atempo HyperStream Server. In case of failure, the Atempo HyperStream Server will automatically switch to the alternate mirror and storage services will be redirected to the replicated repository.

The Foundation of Remote Office Backup
Atempo HyperStream Server provides the foundation for Atempo Time Navigator’s remote office data protection solution. By deduplicating and compressing the data before transmission, Atempo HyperStream Server efficiently transfers data over long distance, even on lower bandwidth connections.

Disk-based Storage for Quicker Restores
With its disk-based storage, Atempo HyperStream Server can shorten both backup and restore times. Data can be restored from the closest, fastest location: either from a local Atempo HyperStream Server, from a mirrored Atempo HyperStream Server at another location or from the disk or tape that stores the backup data long-term.

Highlights

  • Block level deduplication
  • Online and offline data compression
  • optional replication for failover
  • No proprietary hardware required

Security and Compliance Manager

Atempo Time Navigator Security and Compliance Manager (SCM) helps users meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements by providing robust data protection at all stages of data backup and reliable long-term archive functionality. The application includes the following features: Advanced File Encryption/Decryption Utilizing public-key cryptography and a wide range of strong and certified ciphers, data is encrypted throughout the data lifecycle before it leaves the primary storage and remains encrypted while it is stored on the storage media. Whether it resides on disk or tape, it is impossible for an unauthorized party to read the data.

Advanced Network Encryption/Decryption
With more than 50% of security attacks occurring on private networks, it is imperative to build a secure tunnel to ensure that the valuable digital assets cannot be read while transferred from one storage media to the other.

Digital Signatures
Using digital signatures can help keep data intact. Using one-way hashing, both the information to backup and the digital signature is sent over the network. When the backup and archive data reaches its destination, a new hash is created from the original data and compared with the original hash to ensure the information has not been altered. A similar approach is used to guarantee non-repudiation of long-term archives for compliance and litigation purposes.

Hierarchical Key Management
An integrated hierarchical certificate infrastructure prevents impersonation and ensures that the information backed-up or recovered has been sent by a trusted computer. The same mechanism is also used to ensure that only authorized users recover data they are allowed to access.

Compliance Policy Enforcement
Different data has different importance and consequently different compliance requirements. It is necessary to match and enforce the recommended encryption and hash algorithms, retention periods and password lengths to different classes of data. The system needs to have the flexibility to apply different levels of security, depending on the value of the protected information.

Deep integration with the backup and archive classes
The key advantage of Time Navigator SCM is that all the security features described are directly applied to the classes of data created when the backup environment is configured. This gives users the flexibility to apply different levels of security, depending on the value of the protected information, and introduces the notion of a secure backup.

Audit Trails
All the regulations in place today require detailed audit trails about the activity of the regulated information. When a set of data has been selected in a backup class and a security rule is associated to it, Time Navigator SCM records all activity and stores it as a secure file, which is accessible for possible audits.
