Enterprise Level Data Management Solution for Apple Servers

If you run a Mac server network, then you should take a good look at Atempto’s portfolio of Mac-compatible products. Atempo Digital Archive (ADA) and Atempo Digital Archive for Messaging (ADAM) deliver enterprise digital archiving solutions for combined Windows-Mac server environments.

With ADA and ADAM matching Atempo Live Backup and Atempo Time Navigator in Mac support, Atempo now offers a complete line of data protection and archiving products customized for Mac users.

In May, the company introduced Atempo Live Backup for Mac, the enterprise backup and recovery software with continuous data protection (CDP) functionality, allowing end-users to backup Mac desktops and laptops to the same storage media as their Windows peers. Atempo’s storage management software, Atempo Time Navigator, has been mainly used in delivering powerful backups and rapid restorations to Mac environments.

Atempo Digital Archive enables the automated and end-user triggered movement of data from primary disk onto archival media, saving on storage costs and protecting digital assets for long-term retention. New features in ADA for Mac include the ability to archive data from an Apple Xserve, and the ability for end-users to install an ADA Client Interface, empowering individuals with the ability to manage the archive of their digital assets themselves. This unique function enables users to easily drag-and-drop files from their primary location directly into the archives.

In addition, Mac users now have the advantage of ADA’s other distinctive features, including de-duplication, full content indexing and search, and Atempo Meter Utility – a  tool that identifies inactive, fixed content data ready for archive.

Atempo Digital Archive for Messaging is an e-mail archiving product that supports Microsoft Entourage. The first release of ADAM for Entourage includes a plug-in that offers mailbox management and stubbing capabilities for Entourage users. Mac users utilizing Entourage as their primary e-mail client have the ability to access the e-mails that have been archived from the Exchange Server into ADAM directly from the Entourage interface. They now have the same level of access to the archived messages as traditional Outlook users.

ADA’s integration with Final Cut Server also marks an important step in serving data-intensive media and entertainment markets. The media asset management and workflow automation software is widely-used in this Mac-heavy industry, but by itself can only archive data to a very limited set of disk devices. With its integration with ADA, users can enable the storage of fixed-content media assets stored in Final Cut Server into a wide number of long-term storage devices.
