HP Applicat
ion Recovery Manager (AppRM)
AppRM is a re
covery solution for business application data designed to improve the efficiency of IT
resources.
AppRM automates restoration of application databases, such as Exchange and Microsoft SQL,
in the even
t of failure or corruption, and restore data to the moment before an outage. AppRM, powered
by Data Pro
tector Software technology, delivers a stand-alone solution to augment your existing backup
software
strategy by delivering application integrated data recovery. In Windows 2003 environments,
Volume Sh
adow Copy Service (VSS) provides the means to create online point-in-time copies of open files
from a file server, backup application or within Exchange or Microsoft SQL application environments.
AppRM software integrates with VSS to make non-disruptive point-in-time copies of databases for recovery
in minutes, not hours required by traditional recovery from tape. A single AppRM deployment supports
Microsoft-compliant quick recovery using the VSS framework for Exchange and Microsoft SQL with HP
EVA disk arrays. If your Microsoft SQL database is embedded in an SAP ecosystem, AppRM enhances
the backup and recovery experience by reducing the impact of SAP application operations.
Features and benefits:
• Stage
s recovery-ready copies, stored within the disk array to provide data recovery in minutes
• Delivers array-based (disk-todisk) solution for an accelerated, more reliable recovery process
• Creates point-in-time copies of application databases
• Off-l
oads I/O from the recovery server to accelerate time-to-recovery.
• Removes the need for separate storage and business application administrators, providing a common
interface that serves multiple business applications and automated processes.
• Augments pre-existing backup software thus removing the need to change your backup strategy to
add i
nstant recovery capability.
• Provides single deployment for recovery of leading business applications
• Provides Microsoft compliant quick recovery
• Red
uces the impact of SAP application operations.
