Managing today’s high performance and remote backup systems is an increasingly complex task. Yet now it is more important than ever to get the most from your investment.
To achieve this, you need access to detailed performance and utilization data to identify lower-than-expected transfer rates. You also need to pinpoint drives and tapes that are underutilized. With this information, you can change backup schedules or target specific performance improvements to make better use of existing equipment.
You also need to keep your equipment in good order. Proactive tape monitoring notifies you of any issues that need attention before they cause disruption. You can then follow up on recommended service actions in pre-planned maintenance windows. This, in turn, eliminates disruption to backups and enables you to meet SLAs.
