 "IBM Expands Data Protection Software Portfolio")
IBM has announced a new suite of integrated data protection solutions designed to help Windows Intel customers deal with the challenges of quick and efficient data backups and restores to meet business, legal and regulatory requirements.
IBM’s new Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack software will enable IBM Tivoli to cater to a completely new market segment of x86 customers on Windows at competitive price points and functionalities. In particular, this offering will help small-to-midsized businesses (SMBs) and remote locations, which typically lack dedicated IT staff, but have to deal with mounting storage concerns.
The new products of IBM have resulted from its recent acquisition of FilesX and will provide customers with improved business continuity and comprehensive recovery of data and applications, as well as the ability to address compliance across customer data centres and remote offices. Part of IBM’s Tivoli Storage Manager line, the new software expands IBM’s existing enterprise data protection solutions with new capabilities to help protect data that resides outside managed servers, on remote networks.
“Small and Medium businesses are increasingly adopting Windows as their platform of choice for all or a few of their applications. We have identified their need for a Windows conducive backup and restore management software. TSM Fastback follows the ’easy to use, quick and inexpensive’ philosophy that is dear to Wintel users,” said Gaurav Agarwal, country manager, Tivoli Software, IBM India/ South Asia. “These new solutions complement our existing data protection software portfolio by offering backup and recovery features tailored for remote office and mid-market customers.”
Features:
- Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack can eliminate backup windows by continuously capturing data changes at the block level with minimal impact to the systems it protects. Its policy-based approach to data protection allows administrators to improve recovery service levels – specifically Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) – on a per-application basis.
- Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack also provides a restore capability that enables applications to be up and running within minutes after data recovery is initiated, while data recovery is performed in the background. Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) can be reduced to near zero when recovering from almost any type of data loss.
- IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Microsoft Exchange allows quick and easy restore of individual Exchange objects such as e-mail messages and attachments, contact lists, calendars, tasks and journal entries. Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Microsoft Exchange uses an intuitive interface, which can reduce downtime and improve productivity.
- IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Bare Machine Recovery will help users easily recover entire systems to a comparable server, to a new server with different hardware or to a virtual machine.
- IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack Centre combines the three Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack products into a single, convenient package.
