Not all of today's corporations are matching the growth in their data volumes with corresponding increases in their backup and recovery capabilities. Many enterprise backup systems today still amount to nothing more than a patchwork of standalone drives attached to individual servers with no centralized control. That lack of control inevitably leads to lost data that can't be restored — which can have a serious impact on the enterprise as a whole and its IT people in particular. Kanatek assists organizations in assessing their current and future backup and recovery requirements. It architects and implements reliable solutions that offer: regular back up, data recoverability, minimal user impact and minimal system downtime. Kanatek answers the need for enterprise backup control and rationalization with solutions that deliver a single, centralized point of control for managing backup from the desktop to the server.

Kanatek Enterprise Backup and Recovery Solutions begin with a detailed assessment and report on your current and projected backup infrastructure requirements. Based on that assessment, Kanatek architects and integrates solutions that incorporate central, automated tape libraries that backup all types of databases to a common medium. An easy-to-use console provides a single point of management for the entire system, which integrates proven hardware and software from Kanatek partners such as Sun, Quantum, Hitachi, HP, Brocade, àgami and Symantec.

Kanatek has become an expert in designing and installing back up and recovery solutions and has worked with many of Canada's top organizations.

As specialists in backup solutions, Kanatek is increasingly called upon to help in the Management and Planning infrastructures and assess the performance status of existing backup implementations, many of which have not kept pace with the explosive growth in corporate data.

Kanatek has the experience to help organizations cut down on the proliferation of servers that seems endemic in some organizations. Sometimes the rush to launch new products or applications means the IT infrastructure needed to run it becomes an afterthought and an IT group is left having to manage hundreds of servers, spread throughout an organization. Kanatek can help organizations review their infrastructure and cut down their costs, with no degradation in service quality. Kanatek can demonstrate application isolation and service level assurance using Sun's Solaris Resource Manager (SRM). SRM also provides resource management allocation on the shared server and is included in Solaris 9 or add-on to Solaris 8, 7 or 2.6.
