A stable tool that has an easy-to-use GUI that enables quick restoration

We had a security event back in February. We lost all our servers. We probably had 1500 servers. We used NetWorker to recover and restore VMs. It took us almost 30 days to get back up. It was not quick. However, we wouldn't have been able to recover without the product’s help. We first had to restore the NetWorker infrastructure. We used data domains. We imported the catalog. We identified the tier-one VMs we needed and got those restored. We installed security products on them to ensure they were clean. Then, we booted them up. The solution allowed us to recover our infrastructure.

Senior Manager at BHEL

Helps to consolidate D2D backups and has a good deduplication ratio

I was involved with the HPE team in the implementation of the tool which included steps like zone grade configuration, tape grade configuration, etc. The zoning part during implementation was very cumbersome. The tool’s implementation took around one week maximum to complete. One person from the HPE team helped us with the deployment. The tool’s deployment was a big process. We had to first deploy the hardware. Then we needed to connect it to the server. We had to also install HPE’s Data Protector. There were multiple things to be configured such as the configuration of Data Protector with D2D backup.
