EMC Corporation, the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, announced the availability of new EMC® NetWorker® backup software integrated with EMC Data Domain® Boost software.

The integration of these products dramatically increases backup speeds and simplifies configuration and management. The NetWorker Management Console now offers control for the full range of Data Domain system functionality, including Data Domain replication for scheduling and monitoring of backups at all sites. EMC also announced new productivity enhancements for NetWorker users, such as checkpoint restart, simplified cloning and new disk load balancing and space management capabilities.

EMC NetWorker with DD Boost Integration Benefits

Speeds Backups: improves NetWorker aggregate throughput to a Data Domain system up to 2X by distributing parts of the deduplication process to the NetWorker storage node.

Simplifies Replication Management: enables NetWorker Management Console to manage EMC Data Domain Replicator software for scheduling and visibility of all backups at both primary and secondary locations including support for separate retention policies.

Simplifies Set-up and Monitoring: wizard-based discovery and configuration streamlines setup of Data Domain systems and new monitoring and reports simplify system administration.

New NetWorker Capabilities

New Simplified Cloning: allows configuration and scheduling via the NetWorker Management Console, eliminating the need for scripting (but still retaining CLI flexibility)

Checkpoint Restart: allows backups to be restarted from the point of interruption as opposed to restarting from the beginning.

Backup to Disk enhancements: optimizes the use of Advanced File Type Devices, including new load balancing capabilities and space management.

New capacity-based licensing option: allows customers to purchase NetWorker based on the amount of source data protected.
