APTARE StorageConsole Backup Manager

APTARE StorageConsole Backup Manager gives IT administrators a centralized, real-time view of their data protection environment, allowing them to immediately increase their backup and recovery success and optimize their backup environment.

A Centralized, Real Time View

Getting detailed information about a data protection environment shouldn’t require spending hours combing over log files, excel spreadsheets or writing scripts. APTARE StorageConsole Backup Manager is the only browser-based console that centralizes management & reporting of complex data protection environments in real time.

• Browser-Based Console - APTARE StorageConsole Backup Manager is a native web application so it’s browser based. Access your detailed information about your backup/recovery environment from anywhere, anytime using any browser.
• Personalized Home Page - Personalized home page lets every user customize their own view so they can get the information that’s important to them upon login.
• Dashboard Analytics - Analytics are presented in powerful graphical dashboards that immediately communicate the status of your environment in real-time. Click on a graphic to drill down to root sources of problems with the “one-click” feature.

Increase Backup & Recovery Success

APTARE StorageConsole Backup Manager gives you immediate information about the success/failure rate of your backup environment. You have the ability to see across your infrastructure and pinpoint exactly the problem areas that are causing backups to fail.

• Backup And Restore Summary - Instantly view backup job status across thousands of clients in the enterprise. See successful, warning, and failed backups.
• File Level Detail - Go beyond the client to view and isolate specific files for backup or recovery.   Diagnose problems that are being caused at the file level. Isolate specific files for recovery.
• Discovery Of Unprotected Data - Reduces exposure of unprotected data by automatically identifying clients and data sets that aren’t protected under a backup policy.
• Identify Suspect Backups - Eliminates “false positives” by identifying partial backups that report as successful.

Streamline Business Processes

Managing data protection goes beyond just management of data over networks. As a service organization IT is accountable for delivering a guaranteed level of service to both internal and external customers.  APTARE StorageConsole Backup Manager automatically provides the reporting metrics to prove compliance.

• Mission Control Dashboard - Preconfigured dashboard designed for compliancy reporting gives snapshot view of backup status by server over time.
• Service Level Agreements (SLA) - Track backup performance against established SLA levels for backup start time, duration, and backup success. Create alerts that notify you when an SLA has been breached.
• Chargeback Management  - Create chargeback invoices that detail data consumption by group, cost of data, and bottom line total.

Increase Performance

Managing a complex backup infrastructure in a cost-efficient and streamlined manner requires detailed knowledge of which resources are being consumed, how they are being used, and how their utilization can be improved.

• Utilization Optimization - Detailed reports on the utilization and performance of tape media, tape library, drives and disks.
• Predictive Analysis - Forecasts tape availability and consumption levels based on actual usage metrics for capacity planning.
