Legato and NDMP
NDMP was jointly developed by Legato and Network Appliance. It is now recognized as the preferred method of managing data for Network Attached Storage (NAS). Currently managed under the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), NDMP is achieving wide acceptance among backup vendors, NAS vendors, tape library manufacturers, academic institutions, and customers.
With NetWorker Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) Client Connection, Legato offers unparalleled protection for data stored on NDMP-based Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices. Backup and restore using the NDMP protocol is fast and reduces network trafficWorker Servers, Storage Nodes and NDMP-enabled NAS devices for simple, centralized media management.
