The 24x7 availability of mission-critical data and applications is no longer a goal for today’s businesses — it’s a necessity. The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager family of offerings is designed to provide centralized, automated data protection that can help reduce the risks associated with data loss while helping to manage costs, reduce complexity, and address compliance with regulatory data retention requirements.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager enables you to protect your organization’s data from failures and other errors by storing backup, archive, space management and bare-metal restore data, as well as compliance and disaster-recovery data in a hierarchy of offline storage. Because it is highly scalable, Tivoli Storage Manager can help protect computers running a variety of different operating systems, on hardware ranging from notebooks to mainframe computers and connected together through the Internet, wide area networks (WANs), local area networks (LANs) or storage area networks (SANs). It uses Web-based management, intelligent data move-and-store techniques and comprehensive policy-based automation that are working together to help increase data protection and potentially decrease time and administration costs.

The progressive incremental methodology used by Tivoli Storage Manager only backs up new or changed versions of files, thereby greatly reducing data redundancy, network bandwidth and storage pool consumption as compared to traditional methodologies based on periodic full backups. Tivoli Storage Manager 6 also includes built-in target-side data deduplication for disk storage pools to further reduce capacity requirements, as well as source-side deduplication to reduce network bandwidth impact. Tivoli Storage Manager also works in concert with storage hardware to exploit other data reduction techniques such as subfile backup, client compression and device compression. The result is that companies are able to manage more data with less infrastructure and simplified administration, saving money, improving service levels and minimizing risks.
