Power Edition Advantages

Power Edition addresses the storage management and data protection needs of enterprises that have high-performance database servers and file servers. To protect very large database (VLDB) applications, online transaction pr ocessing (OLTP) applications, data warehouses, and web servers, the backup software has to work quickly, often while the data and application are online and available to other users. Power Edition takes advantage of the high throughput of the leading enterprise- class tape devices. Performancescales linearly as additional fast storage devices are added to the system, up to the limit of the server's I/O bandwidth. In order to allow the server machine to maintain high data transfer rates, Power Edition uses a minimum of the processor capacity. In benchmarkingtests, Power Edition rarely uses more than 15 percent of the CPU capacity during backup.
