The company also launched its Data Protector 7 Software product, which identifies unstructured data - such as social media, video and email - and prioritizes how that information is protected on storage systems. Data Protector 7 is based on (IDOL) server software, which can index unstructured data within an enterprise, providing users with a search-based interface.

"HP Data Protector is the industry's first unified data protection solution that utilizes an intelligent data-management approach to seamlessly protect data based on its meaning across on-premise, hybrid and cloud environments, while optimizing business application performance," said David Jones, CEO of Autonomy, an HP subsidiary.

HP announced the next-generation of its StoreOnce data deduplication software, a federated solution that monitors data across an enterprise to ensure duplicate data is not being stored.

HP's StoreOnce Catalyst software for the HP StoreOnce B6200 backup system enables users to deduplicate data on application or backup servers before the data is transferred across the storage network. The is capable of storing up to 48TB in a single node.

The new Data Protector 7 software features governance tools that enable contextual backup and recovery of information. Users can back up, find and recover information based on the meaning and concepts contained within the data, HP said.
