Teralyte Removable Disk Backup
The Teralyte was designed with the SMB in mind and for the first time offers
an affordable and portable disk backup solution. The Teralyte combines the speed
of SATA disks with the portability of tape by using disk media for both backup and
offsite storage. The Teralyte attaches directly to your server or backup server and
allows you to quickly backup your data to removable disk. These disks can then be
left in the system for local storage or they can be physically removed, like a
tape for offsite storage and disaster recovery.
Teralyte uses non-proprietary hard drives allowing SMB’s to use any capacity or
manufacturer SATA disk as locally attached removable disk backup media. Disk to
disk backup is designed to eliminate the problems associated with tape based
backup. Teralyte makes this a reality by using portable disk media and completely
eliminating the need for tape.
The Teralyte is available in four configurations. Each unit comes with iBac Data
Protection Software, the Idealstor Disk Management Utility and the rugged
Idealstor Caddy. The Teralyte is designed to be connected to individual servers
or backup servers running Windows XP, Vista, Windows 2003 Server or Windows 2008
Server. For all these operating systems, both 32 bit and 64 bit versions are
supported. Each unit comes with a SATA2 controller with external eSATA ports. The
controller is available for use on PCI-32, PCI-X or PCI-Express slot on the host
computer and can be low profile or standard height. eSATA cables are included.
