Legato's Arsenal

Legato Systems develops, markets and supports network storage management software products for heterogeneous client/server computing environments; and licenses source code of its software products to original equipment manufacturers.

Legato Systems's flagship product NetWorker is the de-facto standard for network storage management. It is estimated that NetWorker currently has more than 60% market share among Unix-hosted network storage management products in the world. It is installed at thousands of sites worldwide, where comprehensive data management of mission-critical data is of utmost importance.

Legato Systems's cutting edge Global Enterprise Management of Storage (GEMS) allows enterprises to separate enterprise control from data protection. GEMS provides the core tools needed to implement control zones to manage many NetWorker-managed Data zones effectively, including policy-based administration, software distribution, flexible software licensing, and management of all storage media.

Legato Systems's SmartMedia is an open media management application that provides standard interfaces for applications, media hardware control, and administration, thereby enabling enterprises to improve the management of growing base of media and devices across a heterogeneous storage environment.

Legato Systems's clustering solution provides state-of-the-art, best-in-class capabilities for clustering and data protection. Clustering capabilities leverage data mirroring capabilities -to protect data around the nodes in a clustering environment, to support application migration; this means that, for example, system maintenance activities can include upgrades to disk without interrupting production activities. At the same time, data mirroring capabilities leverage clustering capabilities - to ensure that the data mirroring solution is proactively managed and available, automating data movement activities such as sharing information among remote sites and the home office, and data maintenance activities such as tape backups. And, by combining clustering with data mirroring, it protects all of your computing resources in a single solution - services and data - removing shared disks as potential single points of failure in your environment. So, it is an evolution in high availability - providing state-of-the-art capabilities integrated in new combinations that provide new synergistic benefits, and which is designed to support Enterprise businesses.

Legato Systems commitment to Technology

The Legato Systems recently announced the Legato Data Protection Process (LDPP), an important new architectural framework. This framework will enable storage management to evolve from a discrete event, or series of events, to a continuous, seamless process that requires no user intervention through the tight integration of key storage technologies. LDPP will include a suite of customer-focused products and services aligned precisely with Legato's core competencies.

The first demonstration of LDDP came when Legato announced Celestra™, the latest technology innovation for performing live backups on Fiber Channel-based Storage Area Networks (SANs), while bypassing the server. Legato and Hewlett-Packard together 0demonstrated Celestra running in a H-P computing environment at the Network Storage Conference in Monterey, USA. Legato Systems is driving key standards for SAN/NAS (Network Attached Storage)market with NDMP and Celestra.

In this demonstration, Legato Systems's NetWorker and BudTool software managed the movement of hundreds of gigabytes of data from H-P's JBODs, connected to a H-P 9000 Enterprise D-Class server through a H-P Fiber Channel to SCSI Multiplexer, backing up to DLT tape library. This process eliminates the need for a backup window.
