1 Benefit from Business continuity with real-time replication of applications and data to a secure container in the cloud, which can be called into action within minutes Why do we choose to partner with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM)? IBM Tivoli Storage Manager is a data protection platform that gives enterprises a single point of control and administration for storage management needs. It enables outstanding efficiency, simplicity and scalability for virtual, physical and cloud backup environments of all sizes. TSM helps business continuity planning by shortening backup and recovery times and by maximising application availability. With advanced data recovery management, data de-duplication and a hierarchy of storage it will increase efficiencies and conserve your resources. Enhanced data security with innovative access and encryption features adapt to changes within your IT infrastructure to minimise service disruptions. The Tivoli Storage Manager is an essential component of SIRE s Cloud, providing you with the security of data protection and forms an essential part of any business continuity plan. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Suite for Unified Recovery The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager family of products has long been recognized as a leader in unified recovery management, providing the ability to protect a wide range of systems including virtual machines, file servers, , databases, mainframes and even desktops from a single administration interface.

2 Tivoli Storage Manager An inclusive offering that delivers comprehensive data protection Protecting and ensuring the recoverability of data across today s diverse and distributed enterprises can be complex and costly, and often involves deploying numerous nonintegrated point solutions from several vendors to meet the wide range of application service levels. Examples of these point solutions include different backup products for different operating systems and virtual machines, snapshots, continuous data protection, replication and archiving. However, this proliferation of data protection and recovery solutions can introduce its own risks to the organization as the procurement, licensing and ongoing management of all these different systems becomes increasingly complex and disjointed. Taking a more comprehensive, unified approach to managing data - recovering any data, anywhere in the organization, from laptop to mainframe, from a single console - can not only reduce your capital and operating costs, but can also provide enhanced application availability, leading to improved IT service levels. The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager family of products has long been recognised as a leader in unified recovery management, providing the ability to protect a wide range of systems including virtual machines, file servers, , databases, mainframes and even desktops from a single administration interface. The IBM TSM Suite for Unified Recovery provides storage and backup administrators with a simplified, alternative method for procuring and deploying throughout the infrastructure, the data protection and recovery solutions that meet the needs for their particular environment. With this inclusive offering, you can deploy any of 10 different solution components, in any location and quantity, with a simplified license that measures only the amount of data being managed. License costs can be reduced through the use of built-in source and target data deduplication and archiving, and there is no charge for duplicate copies of the data. Question: In a data disaster emergency, where downtime may be costing you tens of thousands of pounds per minute, are you confident that the right person, with the right training and password, will access the right system to restore the right data, to the right place, without breaking anything else, in a timely manner? TSM Suite for Unified Recovery includes 10 proven data protection and recovery software products. Each component can be deployed as needed in any quantity to meet specific service-level requirements with no per-product licensing charges.

3 This advanced, highly scalable suite helps increase the efficiency of your IT operations and helps cut costs related to storage management by providing a wide range of data protection, recovery management and monitoring capabilities using policy-based automation, including: Backup and recovery; archive and retrieval Snapshots for online database and application protection Disaster recovery planning and replication Bare machine recovery Data deduplication and space management Tivoli Storage Manager Suite for Unified Recovery delivers centralized administration and intelligent data move-and-store techniques to help ease storage management. The product scales from small to very large installations - managing up to four billion data objects in a single server - and supports more than 50 operating system versions and hundreds of server and storage devices. It also facilitates a multitude of connections, including Internet, wide area networks (WANs), LANs and storage area networks.

4 Scalability TSM is known for its ability to manage very large environments. For example: Tivoli Storage Manager servers can manage billions of objects, so there is less disruption and complexity as backup workloads continue to grow. IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager can back up 500 VMware images in 15 minutes and 1,000 images in 36 minutes. Tivoli Storage Manager can start small and grow, offering flexible deployment options. Tivoli Storage Manager is highly scalable - a single Tivoli Storage Manager server can protect up to 300 terabytes of data and billions of objects and up to 20 terabytes per day of new or changed client data. Tivoli Storage Manager Reduces backup and recovery infrastructure costs by up to 38% Protects up to ten times more user data per day per backup server Displays status at a glance, using breakthrough visualization Simplifies backups by consolidating administration tasks Enjoy enterprise-class backup and recovery features Built-in and automated disaster-recovery planning tools Offsite copying of data and replication of the internal data-base for disaster recovery purposes Advanced integration with VMware vstorage APIs for Data Protection and changed block tracking Non-disruptive online image backup and restore for most virtual server systems Automated backup schedules Intelligent, high-speed data protection features for popular , database and enterprise resource planning applications, including DB2, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, Lotus Domino and more Progressive-incremental backup of Microsoft Windows System Writer Efficient backup of very large SAP databases.

5 Increase efficiency with a hierarchy of storage In most storage management environments, managed data is trapped on the media to which it was originally backed up. Tivoli Storage Manager Suite for Unified Recovery manages data stored in a hierarchy of lower-cost storage, which helps conserve resources as automated policies migrate data to the appropriate media type based on data value, access and retention requirements. Tivoli Storage Manager automatically manages the movement of the data onto new storage technology when introduced into the hierarchy, allowing you to remove old technology from the IT centre. In addition to this storage hierarchy, the open API of Tivoli Storage Manager provides the ability to seamlessly. Manage many types of data. As soon as data is in the hierarchy, it can easily be moved from one storage device to another. Use Tivoli Storage Manager for: Backup - Back up and maintain numerous file versions to enable point-in-time recovery in the event of production storage device failure, data errors or accidental file deletions Archive - Archive files to the hierarchy of storage for a specified amount of time, after which they automatically expire based on policies set for each data type Space management - For UNIX and Linux systems, TSM for Space Management identifies and moves less-frequently accessed and inactive files to the hierarchy of storage; IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) for Windows is an optional product that enables you to migrate lesser - used Windows files without disrupting end users. Increase visibility into the data protection environment Tivoli Storage Manager Suite for Unified Recovery provides advanced features for operational monitoring and historical trends reporting. A customizable dashboard provides graphical views, while reports can be created in multiple formats such as HTML, Adobe Portable Document Formatting (PDF) and comma-separated values (CSV). Based on open-source Eclipse Business Intelligence Reporting Tools (BIRT), this feature enables administrators to define customized reports.
