whitepaper National Semiconductor Corporation Improves Backup and Recovery With BMC2007-01-19 01:00:27 BMC Software

Bringing in BMC SQLBackTrack for Sybase was an integral part of the initial consolidation plan. The choice was "Quite obvious." The provided tool was just a generic backup and recovery operation. The BMC SQL-BackTrack tool was recommended, and once the company started to use it, they liked it very much.

To address this, the company deployed a new information system based on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and IBM ThinkPad mobile computers. This provides staff with current business data and helps them address customer queries more quickly.
