inventory management module
Network backup systems can back up heterogeneous IT environments incorporating
several thousands of computers largely automatically. In the classical form, network
backup systems move the data to be backed up via the local area network (LAN);
this is where the name 'network backup' comes from. This inventory management module chapter explains the basic
principles of network backup and shows typical performance bottlenecks for conventional
server-centric IT architectures. Finally, it shows how storage networks and intelligent
storage systems help to overcome these performance bottlenecks.
