What is meant by Reliaty Backups NDMP foundation?
Reliaty is the first in the industry to extend the use of NDMP to server platforms other than NAS devices. Reliaty Backup uses NDMP as a common protocol to control all secondary storage in multi-platform environments. Traditionally, a NAS vendor provides NDMP tape services on the NAS to control a tape drive or library connected to the NAS. Reliaty Backup provides NDMP tape services on UNIX, Linux and Windows media server platforms to control tape devices attached to those media servers. By embedding a standard protocol throughout the architecture of the product, Reliaty ensures reliability, enhances interoperability and provides a single technology foundation for future development. Because of Reliaty’s NDMP foundation, every drive in a Reliaty Backup administrative domain is a globally accessible and sharable resource. As a result, UNIX, Windows and NAS servers in a domain can dynamically share devices using Dynamic Drive Sharing.
