IPStor Serverless Backup - Chi Corporation

This backup model also provides significant financial savings. Individual server backup “client agents” are no longer required, thereby reducing software licensing costs. Because even a medium sized corporation or web hosting facility will typically have servers numbering in the hundreds, if not thousands, the potential savings can be quite large, especially when yearly recurring costs for software maintenance and support are factored into the equation. With IPStor, software licenses are needed only on the server connected to the tape drive, thereby reducing licensing costs by a factor of ten or more.

As an added advantage, a single backup solution can now handle all backup needs, no matter what operating systems are used on the application servers. Administrative costs are also greatly reduced, since all operations are centrally controlled and managed with IPStor, rather than individually managed across hundreds of servers.

In the case of application servers accessing storage via IP, IPStor’s

zero-impact model consumes no bandwidth.
