1. Summary
This product bulletin announces the availability of Open
Systems SnapVault 2.5 (OSSV) for First Customer Ship. Open Systems SnapVault (OSSV) is an advanced disk-based
data protection solution that's ideal for protecting file data residing on
server systems running Windows, Red Hat and SuSE Linux distributions, as well
as leading UNIX operating systems. By combining the benefits of SnapVault
with the vast storage capacities of NearStore, FAS or V-Series storage
platforms, OSSV customers can exploit the benefits of block level incremental
backups to protect their open systems data residing on non-NetApp primary storage.
While both remote office and data center style
configurations are supported, OSSV has been proven to be particularly well
suited for protecting data located in remote offices connected to central
data centers via wide area network (WAN) connections. 2.
What’s New The OSSV 2.5 release continues to support important
management tools, like Protection Manager, while unveiling new operational
enhancements and expanded Microsoft Windows platform support. Continued support for Protection Manager for enhanced monitoring,
reporting and logging of OSSV configurations and operations, including: §
Session status: active, completed, failed and concurrent sessions §
Data movement: number of files and blocks transferred, estimated time
to complete backup transfers §
Phase 1 platform support for Operations Manager improvements is
limited to these platforms using the NetApp Host Agent. Support for other
OSSV platforms is planned for a later release. Additional details about NetApp Host
Agent features and operating system support can be found here. Expanded platform coverage for Microsoft Windows operating system
