Technical Briefs
The Critical Role of Data Consolidation for Your Data Protection Systems
To present an enterprise-wide view of data protection measured against
business objectives, a management application must be able to consolidate
data. Consolidation is the process of collecting data on activities
and outcomes from disparate backup applications across multiple servers
and then storing it in a uniform database that enables business intelligence
controls. Only consolidated data delivers a high-level, strategic view
of data protection, ensuring mission-critical data is protected and
recoverable. This strategic view is the proverbial "gold" that
can be mined from your data protection systems; it is the asset that
will enable IT management to prioritize activity to bring activities
in line with business objectives and communicate policy compliance
to corporate officers and data owners. Download
The 5 Essential Advantages: Agentless Technology for Data Protection Management
Today the common approach to collecting information about computing
activity across the enterprise is to use software agents installed
on individual clients and servers. However, when this approach is applied
to data protection management in the enterprise environment, it has
proven both ineffective and inefficient. This is because agent-based
technology cannot meet the following five requirements that define
the viability of a data protection management solution for the enterprise:
ease of installation; compatibility with existing products, change
management, network impact, and system performance. Considered collectively,
these five factors are daunting and require a well thought-out approach.
But, agentless technology, although challenging to design, is the only
approach that meets large enterprise requirements and enables data
protection management success. Download
