NDMP
Backing up Network Attached Storage (NAS) filers can be a complicated process requiring expensive, dedicated hardware. NDMP provides a simple and effective storage networking offering for the NAS filer environment.
NAS Configuration Options:
The ideal backup configuration for a NAS filer environment is to attach a Memio 20K, Memio 64K, Memio T120, or Memio T950 library, with an NDMP feature module, directly to the network to take advantage of the improved management control and operating efficiency of shared backup. NDMP is supported directly in the library. The library now controls the backup process enabling filers to perform at maximum capacity.
Traditional backup configuration for a filer environment. The tape library is attached to a NAS filer. The backup process for all filers is at risk if the filer with the library fails. The library wastes filer capacity.
Dedicated Fibre Channel SAN backup configuration. Requires a large investment in dedicated Fibre Channel resources and the library must support partitioning because each NAS filer needs its own set of tape drives. Filers are still burdened.
NDMP is only one of many features that can be implemented across the full family of Spectra Logic tape libraries.
Serverless Backup
Serverless Backup makes it easy for you to conduct your backup operations through a Fibre Channel network and yet free up your application server. Serverless Backup brings efficiency and performance to backup operations, while allowing your server to be devoted to your core business operations.

Input an estimate of the amount of storage you will need. Your available storage capacity will decrease depending on the RAID level you choose. Do not include hot spares in your raw storage calculation.
Input the amount of data you currently have in use. This will be used to generate an estimate on the number of disks you will need for this amount of available storage, after accounting for the RAID level.
