Columbia Data Products’ Open Transaction Manager (OTM) facilitates backing up active networks providing comprehensive data protection of open files and applications with standard network backup routines. You get complete, non-disruptive protection of all data including today’s most critical applications such as email, web servers, database volumes and transaction servers. OTM used with backup application software delivers data protection, ensuring relational integrity vital to the protection of your data with negligible impact on system and network performance. In other words, it eliminates the backup window.
Open Transaction Manager is an enabling technology that creates a coherent, point-in-time snapshot or TrueImage™ representation of the data contained on a single volume or on multiple volumes. Instead of attempting to back up the active volume(s), backup applications will backup the static snapshot presented by OTM. Activity continues unabated, files are added and deleted while the backup application transfers the data represented by the TrueImage to tape.
| OTM Features & Benefits |
- Assures backup and restore integrity with critical applications such as email, web-servers and transaction servers without needing to shut down the applications
- Time stamps all files concurrently, to precisely match those from when the backup commenced.
- Eases system performance, as it acts at the disk sector level, bypassing the operating system, and CPU overhead.
- Improved backup performance – consumes less than 4% of the CPU utilization, enabling users and vital processes to run while a backup is performing.
- Protects all hidden structures that reside on the drives, such as FATs, Directories, NDS, registries, partition tables, NDP's, sparse files, deleted unpurged files, or even hidden application copy-protected raw sector writes.
- Solves configuration induced loss issues – all files and even hidden system transactions are automatically grouped together across the entire server, so there is no chance of data relational integrity loss due to improper configuration.
- Windows Operating Environments: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 Professional (Server and Advanced Server),
Windows XP, Windows 2003 and Novell NetWare. OTM operates on both 32 and 64 bit
applications.
- NetWare Operating Environments: Novell Netware 4.x, 5.x,
including NSS support, 6.x including NSS support.
