HEIDELBERG previously

backed up its business-

critical data to a tape library,

but this has now been

replaced by a combined

hardware and software

solution formed entirely

of HPE products: an HPE

StoreEver MSL 6480 Tape

Library with LTO6 tapes,

HPE Data Protector Software

9.0 and the HPE StoreOnce

4900 with deduplication

technology. This all HPE

solution has enabled the

company to create backups

and restores more flexibly

than ever before.

Case Study

Objective

Quicker, error-free backups and fast

data restores for end-users

Approach

Company quickly decided in favour

of HPE Data Protector Software,

then compared a number of dierent

hardware solutions

IT Matters

• Shorter backup cycles and easier

administration of the entire

backup environment

• Combination of HPE StoreOnce

deduplication technology and LTO6

tapes has led to a 90 per cent

reduction in the number of

tapes required

• High degree of flexibility as the HPE

StoreOnce allows data to be stored on

a NAS, StoreOnce Catalyst or a virtual

tape library

• Option for IT administrators to

restore data remotely at the weekend

or overnight in the event of an

emergency (as they no longer have to

access the tape library)

Business Matters

• Faster restoration of unintentionally

deleted data for end-users, sometimes

within just a few minutes

• Higher data availability, partially due

to hourly backups via HPE StoreOnce

and HPE Data Protector Software

Challenge

Case study HEIDELBERG Industry Engineering Page 2 “We no longer have to worry about getting backups completed within certain time frames. The HPE StoreOnce deduplication feature has removed the restrictions on our processes and enables us to carry out backups and restores simultaneously. So we can backup data from programmes such as Microsoft® SharePoint much more frequently and incrementally throughout the day. This has made us much more flexible.

Case study HEIDELBERG Industry Engineering Page 3 “Due to the large number of tapes, the IT team was spending an immense amount of time on administration – mainly because we chose to store the cassettes at a separate location on the site for security reasons,” remembers Peter Brecht, project manager and the person responsible for storage and backups at the data centre. “This meant that restores could take a considerable amount of time, and we didn’t want our end-users to keep on having to wait.
