NAMS SBS

NAMS designed the Switch Backup Solution (SBS) to replace the tape drive units on aging Stromberg-Carlson/Seimens DCO switches. Your nightly backups are vital to the operation of your switch, and not having a good backup is disastrous to your operation. The NAMS SBS not only ensures that you create a good backup, but it also adds a list of features not available when using a standard tape drive. We store backups on a solid-state drive built into the unit, and multiple backups which are date coded can be stored on this internal drive. The NAMS SBS can also automatically send the most recent copy of your backup to a network storage device for remote data storage. Or, you can even copy the backups to a portable USB key.

Standard web browser, user interface (username/password protected), is available for NOC or switch personal to ensure backups occur properly. That same interface copies files to the USB drives or moves an older backup to the active area to perform a switch restore.

You will still use your standard switch overlays to perform backup and restore functions, but the web interface will give you additional visibility to the backups.

Unlike other hardware options, the NAMS SBS slides right into the switch with no modifications, a complete package, with no “in-field” retrofitting required. Unplug the old card, plug in the new card, and follow our simple instructions, your backups are securely stored every night. Our in-house technicians perform daily operation checks on the units, to further ensure that your vital backups are safe.
