SEP sesam Features
SEP sesam provides the following features and functionality:
- Powerful administration
- Fast and easy installation on standard O/S configurations. Less than one minute on SUSE and RedHat!
- Selection of optimal data paths throughout the network
- User configurable Command Line Interfaces (Alarm, Pre/Post, Notify, Disaster, etc.)
- Powerful REST API for data extraction and configuration
- Powerful scheduling tool allows development of flexible media strategies to avoid delays and missed backups
- Comprehensive backup & restore
- SEP sesam creates a test backup and restore upon installation to verify that the system is running.
- Full, Differential, Incremental and Copy (for off-site storage) backups
- Scheduled backups using user/administrator selected events
- Full and selective restore to original paths or newly-created directories with original path structure preserved
- Fast data restore via effective administration of backup savesets and implementation of well-designed search algorithms
- Authentication and authorization to define user roles and access permissions
- Integrated Si3 software deduplication with extremely efficient deduplication rates based on variable block-length. The in-memory technology achieves best performance figures. Si3 deduplication is the basis for target and source side deduplication, replication, cloud backup and SiS (SEP Immutable Storage).
- SEP NEWDAY
- SEP NEWDAY allows extensive backups to be recorded on the same calendar day
- For example, backups started on a Friday and ending before 8 am the following Monday can be recorded onto the same backup day
- Multiplex streaming
- SEP sesam's true multi-stream/multiplexed backup feature allows large amounts of data to be backed up in the shortest possible time.
- Multi-stream backup handles from five up to several hundered data streams to serve any size of data center and amount of data
- Opening up multiple streams for backups minimizes system resource usage for data backup tasks
- Online modules
- Online modules for the most widely-used database and groupware solutions allow backups to be performed while the applications are active, providing the highest data availability possible
- For MS SQL, Exchange, Oracle, SAP (NetWeaver, MaxDB, HANA), DB2, HCL DOMINO, MySQL/MariaDB, POSTGRES/ENTERPRISEDB, INFORMIX and all OES TSA-based services (have a look at our SEP sesam OS and Database Support Matrix)
- Restores can also be performed while the apps are running, including the option of restoring single mail boxes and individual mail files
- Graphical user interface (GUI)
- Platform-independent JAVA-based graphical user interface (GUI)
- Master GUI design provides full access to clients and servers
- Easy task selection, flexible media strategy and setup via GUI or Master GUI
- Browser-based WebUI
- Uses HTML5 and json objects by using REST API calls
- Can be used as a self service restore assistant, for reporting and monitoring as well as restarting tasks
- Considers authentication and autorization configurations
- Offers more features than the GUI (e.g. cross-platform mount) and is continuously improved and enhanced
- Device support & functionality
- Supports all standard backup devices, disks, tapes, tape autoloaders and tape libraries, and cloud APIs
- Supports HPE StoreOnce via Catalyst (Catalyst Copy, bandwidth optimized, application side backup, Cloud Bank Storage and HPE Cloud Volumes)
- Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape (D2D2T) functionality delivers further enduring security for maximum performance by backup and restore
- Extensive platform support
- Backup server on most Linux distributions (including OES) and on Windows
- Clients for Linux, Windows, UNIX derivatives
- Supports several HW architectures like x64, AMD and IBM Power
