 Unified
Recovery Management
Effective ‘unified recovery management’ can help you reduce
administrative costs, make faster and smarter decisions, and improve quality
of service for your IT users and customers.
Protecting data from accidental or malicious loss, and ensuring timely
recoverability, have become extremely complex challenges in recent years.
Your data recovery management plan needs to take this complexity into
account. For example, there are many different operating system platforms,
application types and storage technologies. Important data is distributed in
many locations: the data center, user desktops, remote/branch offices, home
offices and mobile computers. Different things can go wrong: lost file;
corrupt database; virus/hacker attack; crashed disk; system failure; local
or regional disaster.
Your solution needs to support all the different pieces in your
infrastructure and all the different applications that your users and
customers rely on. Recovering a single file or email is a lot different than
restoring a disk volume or an entire system. For example, mirroring and
replication are great technologies for recovering from a system-level
failure or disaster; but they are horrible for file-level problems like
accidental deletions and corrupt databases, since the contents of the
replica system will mimic the production system where the problem started.
And you need to think about applying policies that will allow you to
balance costs against business needs. Some applications and data are more
important than others, and demand greater levels of protection – both in
terms of Recovery Point Objectives (RPO – how much data you willing to lose)
and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO – how long can you be down), as well as
the utilization of physical and personnel resources. And also you want to
manage the entire data protection and recovery infrastructure from a single
administrative interface.
Given this enormous complexity, finding a single solution to cover all
your recovery management needs can be a huge challenge. Even at IBM, we
offer a number of different products that address different pieces of this
puzzle.
The difference at IBM is that we tie all of our solutions together under
a single, Unified Recovery Management interface – the Tivoli Storage Manager
Admin Center – that let’s you manage your entire data protection and
recovery management infrastructure from a single administrative portal.
