Cards and software from Exar for compressed storage of data on disks

Exar has introduced the BitWackr C Series of hardware-accelerated backup-to-disk data compression card and the required software for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 servers and appliances. It is equipped with popular backup software that according to Exar typically cuts backup-to-disk capacity requirements in half while reducing backup time by as much as two-thirds.

Some of the key features of BitWackr C Series are:
1. Adding hardware compression to disk and RAID with the BitWackr C Series brings the performance     and capacity reduction benefits seen with tape to disk-based backup.
2. An off-the-shelf server equipped with BitWackr C Series compression is capable of backing up     Enterprise data at line rates and is compatible with all popular backup software offerings.
3. After installation and configuration, BitWackr C Series reduces backup data stored on disk     transparently and in-line - typically by 2:1.
4. The BitWackr C Series is suitable for a broad range of applications including NAS, SharePoint and      System Center Data Protection Manager.
5. According to Exar the BitWackr C Series improves average four stream traditional, non-deduplicating      backup performance by 52% above that delivered by the same backup software backing up the      same data using the same OS, backup server and disk subsystem.


"In today's IT environment increasing efficiency is the name of the game," said Bob Farkaly, director, storage product marketing, Exar. "The BitWackr C Series provides OEMs, System Integrators, and Value-Added Resellers an opportunity to deliver a new optimization tool to their customers. Additionally, combining the BitWackr C Series with newly-emerging deduplicating backup software offerings from Symantec, CA Technologies, Commvault, BakBone and others can turbo charge the data reduction ratios reported by these products."

Availability: Now.
