Application Protection

Is the growing combination of applications, hardware and platforms you're required to backup crippling your storage efforts? Your e-business relies on valuable data that collects in various mission-critical applications across your infrastructure. Every new application you bring online adds another degree of difficulty for your data storage operations, unless you have a comprehensive, centralized solution with broad support for industry-standard applications, hardware and operating systems.

The IBM Tivoli Application Protection solution supports a wide variety of today's business-critical applications--databases, ERP, mail and application servers--that must remain available 24x365. This gives you the peace of mind to know that your company's IT strategy will never be limited by its data storage capabilities.

In addition, online backups of IBM DB2, DB2 Parallel Edition (DB2PE), and DB2 Universal Database (UDB) can be backed up to the Tivoli Storage Manager server using the functions provided in the Tivoli Storage Manager API without additional software or licensing requirements.
