Small companies, the self-employed and founders of new businesses need IT solutions which result in low expenditure and costs but at the same time reliably provide all programmes and functions that are important for the business. sayFUSE Smart Server is a sophisticated, complete IT package specially designed for Start-Ups, small companies with up to 50 users and the self-employed, and includes everything you need to guarantee your business operation and the constant availability of your important data.

More space
sayFUSE Smart Server includes a complete backup system in one device, which can be combined with an application server such as a file server or an ERP system. In connection with Microsoft Small Business Server 2008, sayFUSE Smart Server not only offers increased data security and reliable data backup, but also domain, file, exchange and SQL server services. The result is a high quality network infrastructure in a single appliance. With dimensions of just 19 inches / 4 height units, sayFUSE Smart Server is ideally suited to small offices. The IT is less complex and easier to administrate, and at the same time companies are reliably protected against system failures and data loss.

Lower investment
The complete solution for data backup, restoration and archiving integrates backup hardware, backup server with touch screen and backup and media management software in one system. Hard disks are used as the backup media, and there is no need for investment in additional server hardware or separate disk and tape backup systems. This saves space and reduces the complexity of data backup. Data can be saved centrally for exchange and for backup. The costs of procurement and for service and support are reduced, and the administration effort is conceivably low, as support is only required for one central device. This also reduces energy costs. If more business applications are gradually introduced, sayFUSE Smart Server can be combined with the server virtualisation solution sayFUSE VM. This ensures that companies can grow while keeping IT investment and maintenance costs low.

More protection
The backup technology is the same as for sayFUSE Backup and uses SATA or SAS hard disks for reliable backup of important business information and quick restoration after data loss. RAID-1 technology ensures system stability. The basic unit of the sayFUSE Smart Server has a memory capacity of up to 48/96 Terabytes (native/compressed). It can be increased to 96/192 Terabytes with the sayFUSE CEM capacity extensions (Capacity Extension Module).

For the network connection, 2x1GBit/s network cards are available as standard, as well as optional 10 GBit/s network cards in copper or fibre channel. Almost any backup software available on the market can be used to control the data backup jobs.
