Business benefits

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition expands Tivoli Storage Manager and capabilities through the following functions.

Automatic Disaster Preparation and Recovery Scripts

Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition can automatically create a recovery plan—an up-to-date text file with detailed recovery steps and automated computer scripts. This plan helps minimize recovery time from a disaster that affects your data center. The disaster-recovery functionality can also track where offsite copies of data are stored: Where in the vault are they? Are they in transport to or from the vault? Are they waiting to be picked up from the library? This level of detail helps expedite disaster recovery because you can rapidly locate the physical tapes that your offsite copies are stored on.

Data Protection for NAS Appliances Through NDMP

Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition uses NDMP to help enable high-performance, scalable backups and restores on NAS devices. NDMP data movements are designed to minimize network traffic by transferring data outbound from both the Tivoli Storage Manager client and server. Both full and differential file-system image backups and both full and file-level restores are supported.

Small and Large Tape Library Support

Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition works with more than 500 different offline storage devices from more than a dozen vendors with no limitations on the number of drives or slots.

Tape Library Sharing between Multiple TSM Servers

With Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition, multiple Tivoli Storage Manager servers can share the same data tape library for improved data centralization and asset utilization.
