(InfoWorld) - Competing with Dell Inc. for small business users who need to back up their data, Hewlett-Packard Co. launched a low-priced, disk-based backup and recovery system on Monday. The HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System will automatically save the data from as many as four servers, with total capacity of either 750G bytes or 1.5T bytes. Users can restore lost files within minutes, compared to a process of several hours for a tape-based system, HP said. Most users say that tape-based systems are the most cost-effective method of backing up data, but as new accounting laws demand greater storage regulations, that could soon change, said Adam Thew, marketing director for HP's StorageWorks division. Compared to connecting a direct-attached tape storage device to every server in a business, HP's new disk-to-disk product can reduce the cost of ownership and chance of human error, Thew said during a webcast Monday. The D2D system is designed for small business owners with little IT management experience, offering a simple setup wizard interface, Web-based monitoring, and standard Ethernet cables with iSCSI (Internet Small Computer Systems Interface). Still, HP says tape-based storage is important for a complete backup system. "D2D will not replace tapes entirely. We do recommend that customers keep a single tape-based system offsite for disaster recovery," Thew said. Dell and its partner EMC Corp. launched a similar backup system on Feb. 20, offering the disk-based CX3-10 SAN (storage area network) array for small and medium businesses. Like HP, Dell says its system works best in concert with tape-based storage, and also launched two new products in its tape library line, the PowerVault TL2000 and PowerVault TL4000. Dell's systems are intended for buyers with larger storage needs and hardware budgets than HP's, with the CX3-10 starting at US$22,000 and the PowerVault libraries starting at 9,300. HP sells the D2D110 model with 750G bytes useable storage capacity for $1,999, and the D2D120 model with 1.5T bytes for $2,999. HP charges $1,000 more to bundle its Data Protector Express software with the products.

(Source: Arsenal Digital)  Data has become the most valuable resource that many companies own. Organizations of all sizes are actively searching for reliable, affordable solutions for data protection to help them with business continuity, disaster recovery, and compliance. The problem is especially acute for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), which typically lack the resources to add new technologies or manage the growing infrastructure required to deal with the problem. As a result, many SMBs are investigating software-as-a-service (SaaS) data protection solutions in order to optimize their IT budgets. Join us to hear Doug Chandler, IDC Program Director, Storage Software and Services, reveal the latest findings and trends, showing why use of on-demand data protection is growing in the SMB market, why software-as-a-service has become the preferred data protection strategy for more and more emerging businesses, and how your business can take advantage of this option now.
