Network Backup Across the Enterprise
BRU Server for Linux is a native Linux backup software solution that protects critical information residing across your client/server based network served by a Linux server system. BRU Server for Linux continues the heritage of providing Ultra-reliable Linux backup that began in 1994 at Linux kernel 0.99pl12 when BRU (Backup & Restore Utility) was the first, non-development application available for Linux end users.
In similar fashion to Linux being scaled to provide enterprise level support, TOLIS Group has scaled its BRU technology to provide enterprise wide data protection services.
BRU Server is based on the venerable and time-tested BRU engine and utilizes the most modern supporting technology structures to deliver its unique data protection characteristics. OFM, TOLIS' Open File Manager is available to back up live databases such as Exchange Server, SQL Server, Filemaker, Oracle, Sybase and others running on Windows client systems.
The proven reliability of BRU technology coupled with the proven reliability of Linux operating system creates a backup system of unsurpassed uptime and availability to archived data.
BRU Server for Linux delivers the reliability, functionality and flexibility to meet your organization's data protection needs:
- Straightforward Installation - Many Functions Automated.
- Graphical User Interface, Character-Based, and Command Line Management Consoles.
- Backups 100% verified for accuracy.
- Media recovery algorithms provide successful restores where other tools fail.
- Live database backup.
- Flexible Disk Staging Provides Disk-to-Disk and Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape Support.
- Off-Site Storage Services.
- Comprehensive Native Tape Device Support.
- Virtual Machine Backup.
- Three (3) Versions of BRU Server Provide Highly Scalable, Cost-Effective Backup to Meet Your Needs
BRU Server for Linux Solution Choices
- BRU Server Basic Edition - Full BRU Server functionality, includes 2 client licenses to back itself up and 1 other connected system - fully expandable.
- BRU Server Network Edition - Includes 25 client licenses and is fully expandable.
- BRU Server Enterprise Edition - Includes 250 client licenses, expandalble.
- BRU Server Client Licenses - Available individually, or in cost-effective packs of 5, 10, 25, and 100 licenses.
- BRU Server Site Licenses - Custom quoted when more than five (5) copies of BRU Server, or more than 1,000 clients are required to support an organization.
Leadership Data Protection - BRU Server for Linux is a robust backup and restore utility that protects critical client/server information on one or two systems, or across an organization regardless of size. Based on the venerable BRU engine, BRU Server for Linux sets the backup industry's high water mark for reliability, data recoverability, speed and efficiency while protecting data on networked systems served by a Linux server system.
Backup, Your Way - No two organizations are alike, nor have the same requirements of a backup system other than the requirement of reliability. BRU Server for Linux provides the flexibility to administer the backup strategy via the intuitive graphical user interface, or by using the character-based interface. BRU Server is also fully scriptable from the command line. These interfaces provide access to BRU Server's robust functionality, and backups can be administered locally or remotely.
Shortest Backup Window - The time available (the backup window) to protect critical data is fast shrinking, and this poses a challenge to system administrators. BRU Server for Linux allows data to be committed directly to tape (the traditional approach) or can it can be "staged" in a centralized disk farm attached to the server to virtually eliminate the perceived backup window at the client system level.
The combination of BRU's low overhead/high throughput, writing to interim disk (D2D), and BRU's industry unique ability to verify backups without continued access to the original data delivers the IT industry's shortest, 100% data-verified backup window.
Support of Regulatory Governance - The number of government regulations worldwide that mandate the treatment of an organization's data is approaching 10,000 in number. If your organization does not fall under governance today, it probably will in the future. BRU Server delivers the data availability, auditability, integrity, accuracy, privacy and security characteristics necessary to support compliance to the regulations .
Investment Protection - BRU Server delivers immediate investment protection because there is no requirement to install a new backup server or special disk-based virtual tape (VTL) technology. BRU Server's overhead is exceptionally low and can actually time-share with other server applications. Depending on one's network system topology, BRU Server will consume only 8% - 20% of a system's resources during backup/restore operations - allowing the majority of system resources to perform other tasks concurrently. Of course, a dedicated backup system is ideal, and a P3 500MHz system with 512MB of RAM will support 100's of client systems across the network.
BRU Server also delivers current and future tape investment protection. Out-of-the-box, BRU Server provides native support of all tape formats and all tape library configurations. Because of TOLIS' partnership with tape device manufacturers, we have early access to future tape technology. This access assures you of BRU's reliable support before the new technologies hit the streets. And all this is accomplished without the necessity of costly special drivers, additional hardware, or specially tasked systems.
From a licensing investment perspective, the growth of an organization's backup needs should not incur a severe financial penalty to provide the needed incremental backup services. BRU Server per-seat pricing of client system licenses is cost-effective and is not price-differentiated by system platform, the class of software being implemented on them, or by the volume of data residing on them.
BRU Server delivers exceptional investment protection.
BRU Server's licensing policies provide additional investment protection. Additional "Servers" on the network are treated as client systems, and do not require a Server-class license. And client system licenses are attached to the seat - not to a particular system platform. Changing a client system from one OS to another does not require an additional license purchase, simply download the appropriate agent fron our website.
Bottom Line - Your organization's data is critical, and how to protect it is an important decision. BRU Server for Linux delivers the reliability, functionality, flexibility, scalability and overall excellent value necessary to provide you with backup peace-of-mind.
