Supports Data Protection—Policy-based automation helps reduce the chance of human error.
High Productivity—Task-based workflows with automated processes help to reduce the time, resources and expertise that are required to perform complex backup and replication tasks.
High Resource Utilization—Managing secondary storage resources in a consolidated fashion helps to increase storage utilization.
The challenge
Data protection remains a complex and highly involved task, and administrators responsible for the protection of the enterprise’s critical data assets have a huge responsibility, but lack the tools they need to effectively perform the job. Existing data protection processes are complex and mostly manual, and therefore subject to errors.
Today’s tools fail to deliver a comprehensive and easy-to-understand view of disk-based data protection environments. What’s more, it’s extremely difficult to provision and utilize storage resources efficiently.
The solution—IBM N series Protection Manager software
Protection Manager™ is designed as an intuitive backup and replication management software for IBM N series unified storage disk-based data protection environments. The application is designed to support data protection and help increase productivity with automated setup and policy-based management.
Protection Manager is designed to provide data center professionals with an innovative software solution to manage the enterprise’s disk-based data protection environment. The application is designed to allow administrators to apply consistent data protection policies across the enterprise, automate complex data protection processes, and pool backup and replication resources to help improve utilization.
