As a result, users are always accessing the latest technology. In addition to the database environment, a Sun Enterprise 420 server and 220 server support network monitoring and systems management respectively. The Sun Enterprise 10000 server with 1.5 terabytes of Sun StorEdge arrays is our primary database infrastructure. We're evaluating moving to the open Sun StorEdge T3 arrays to support future growth, higher performance, and availability. The Sun StorEdge arrays are working very well for us.
Legato software is used for automated backup.
Primary backups of all customer data is completed every night to the Sun StorEdge L1000 tape library. Once the backups are complete, a clone of the backup is made to cartridges on the Sun StorEdge L280 tape library. The cloned tapes are moved off-site twice a month and stored in a secure location. Quarterly, a disaster recovery procedure is executed using the cloned tapes to help ensure the database is recoverable. Sun Remote Services are also implemented, helping to enable proactive system monitoring, to further reduce the risk of downtime.
