The California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) is gaining efficiency and saving costs in storing state-wide data by using a smarter solution from IBM (NYSE: IBM | PowerRating) and business partner Pancetera, a provider of virtual storage optimization solutions, IBM said on Tuesday. Financial details were not available.
The new solution reduces the amount of data required to be backed up by 75% and accelerates backup to minutes rather than hours.
Cal EMA relies on IBM Tivoli Storage Manager’s centralised, policy-based, enterprise class, data backup and recovery software.
Also, recently the Agency rolled out the virtual storage optimisation solution from Pancetera to further extend Tivoli’s capabilities into VMware’s virtual environment.
With about 20% of its data live, Cal EMA relies on IBM tape storage for archived data on projects years and even decades old.
