HP Unveils Unified Information Protection Software

HP has unveiled HP Data Protector 7, a software solution that empowers organisations to manage the explosive growth of data with advanced backup and recovery capabilities that work at an unprecedented scale. Powered by the Autonomy Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), HP Data Protector 7 delivers a unified platform for all storage assets via federated deduplication.

The company also announced the release of HP StoreOnce data deduplication solution, the federated deduplication solution. With HP StoreOnce, data is deduplicated once using a single technology and then moved anywhere without ever having to be rehydrated—or added back in, which dramatically improves performance and reduces administration costs for global organisations.

Both solutions leverage market-leading technology from HP Labs—the company’s central research arm—and Autonomy, an HP Company, to enable clients to eliminate redundant data and identify the content most important for the business to protect.

HP Data Protector 7 automatically understands the context of unstructured, human information—such as social media, video, images, audio and email—to identify and prioritise how information is protected. Traditional data-protection approaches are unable to understand the ideas and concepts expressed in the burgeoning volumes of big data. By contrast, once information is indexed by Autonomy IDOL, the data can be automatically accessed and applied to a wide array of cloud-based solutions, including archiving, eDiscovery, information governance and revenue optimisation.

“Increased regulated industry compliance, distributed remote workforces and reduced IT budgets are hindering backup and recovery success for many organisations,” said David Jones, Chief Executive Officer, Data Protection, Autonomy, an HP Company. “HP Data Protector is the industry’s first unified data protection solution that utilises an intelligent data-management approach to seamlessly protect data based on its meaning across on-premise, hybrid and cloud environments, while optimising business application performance.”
