Shaw's Shops for Enterprise Backup...Chooses HyperTape for High Performance Direct Backup From SCO UNIX
Overview Considered one of the world’s most innovative and forward-thinking grocery chains, Shaw's Supermarkets, Inc., of West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, is the second largest grocery store chain in New England with 185 stores and sales last year reaching $4 billion. Shaw’s Supermarkets, who already use SCO OpenServer for their POS system controller as well as their Electronic Payment system in the stores, required now to convert their corporate applications from an NCR platform to UnixWare. These applications were using Oracle databases, which ranged in size from 100 Gigabytes to 500 Gigabytes. Key to the solution was the efficient backup of the new servers, especially the Oracle databases which were in constant 24x7 use and critical to the corporate systems. After reviewing several backup and restore products, Shaw’s found that, of those that were capable of backing also gave us a unique offering for other up their new SCO system, all of them only did so as an agent over the Local Area Network (LAN) and none could solve their Oracle backup requirement. Testing had already shown that backup over the LAN in this way would be too slow to effectively backup the databases.
