Systems management can provide better control of business operational and administrative costs through a holistic view of your infrastructure, tracking and monitoring assets, connections and dependencies.
Beside the management of the virtual Linux servers, Linux allows for systems management that gives you a single point of control for your enterprise; for example: backup consolidation.
Backup Consolidation
The major advantages of central backup services with Linux on System z can be:
- The standardization of the backup operation
- The reduction of backup and restore times
- The reduction of costs for the IT infrastructure
In support of these advantages are the standardization of the backup software and a dedicated backup network, helping to improve business continuity and availability and to enhance the user productivity.
Backup & restore is one of the most I/O intensive workload and ideal for a System z server, since one of its many strengths is its optimized design for I/O intensive applications. As well, its capacity on demand feature allows to increase/decrease the processing power quickly to provide the resources for restoring application servers after a major disaster.
The z/VM virtualization technology can provision new Linux servers very fast, it can ensure the isolation of the server and the network, and it can balance the backup workload with the other workload jobs.
The enormous capabilities of the Linux on System z environment allow consolidating a large Tivoli Storage Manager server farm to a single System z server, which might result in reduced complexity and costs of operation.
Linux on System z provides a smart infrastructure for Tivoli Storage Manager to consolidate a heterogeneous backup landscape.
