eMagNet - Next Generation Non-native Restoration System
eMagNet is our next generation non-native tape restoration system. The eMagNet system uses a high-speed
fiber-optic backbone to mesh together computer clusters dedicated to simultaneously restoring data
from multiple tape drives. This constant and uninterrupted access removes the complexity of current
backup formats at the point where the data is read from the tape, thereby removing unnecessary
processing cycles and saving a tremendous amount of time.
- Restore data, de-dupe and filter "on the fly"
- "Land" only de-duped and responsive data
- Deliver data in a variety of load file formats
In a multithreaded backup format, several systems are interwoven to one stream that is in turn backed up to tape. This results in a much more efficient backup for the client but in turn creates a more complex backup format to restore. Our current non-native restoration format handler system, as it is today, must distinguish which thread the client wants, then sift through the data finding that one thread, repeat this process for thread #2, etc. eMagNet and the multithreaded layer (MTL) will do this work for the backup format handler so the handler is simply processing the format independent of the threading issues.
The multithreaded layer now becomes the critical part of the eMagNet system. Today more and more formats are multithreaded and striped, and it's essential that the formats are processed in an efficient manner. The main function of the MTL is to unravel the threaded data and put the data into the correct processing queue. As a result eMagNet ensures the data is constantly being restored and thus exponentially increasing the processing time.
Throughout our long history, eMag has always been committed to staying on top of the latest and most complex backup formats. The eMagNet non-native restoration system ensures that we are able to retrieve the data in a much more efficient manner as we continue to streamline the electronic discovery process.
