“The ETERNUS CS800 is much more than a simple backup system. In a matter of minutes we are able to replicate data or even entire virtual machines beyond location boundaries. The bigger truth is that we’re rather talking about a backup data center here. Its features are so powerful that I’m almost inclined to create a fan club for this product!”

Thanks to deduplication P+P were able to cut their data volume in a reduction ratio of 10:1 already after the first backup run.
The synchronization process between the two sites in Berlin and Munich is fully automatic.
High data availability due to accelerated backup and recovery times
Backup technology with deduplication “Thanks to deduplication only a tiny fraction of the actual data volume is moved back and forth between our business sites. Consequently we are able to replicate a complete backup on a daily basis – without excessively burdening the WAN bandwidth requirements – and thus dispose of double data safety. I think this is terrific!”
