Simplify data protection for virtual and cloud environments
IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager for Virtual Environments protects VMware® and Microsoft® Hyper-V® virtual machines by offloading backup workloads to a centralized IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server for safe keeping. Administrators can create backup policies or restore virtual machines with just a few clicks.
It enables your organization to protect data without the need for a traditional backup window. It allows you to reliably and confidently safeguard the massive amounts of information that virtual machines generate.
Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments:
- Improves efficiency with deduplication, incremental “forever” backup and other advanced IBM technology to help reduce costs.
- Simplifies backups and restores for VMware with an easy-to-use interface. that you can access from within VMware vCenter or vCloud Director.
- Enables VMware vCloud Director and OpenStack cloud backups.
- Enables faster, more frequent snapshots for your most critical virtual machines.
- Flexible recovery and copy options from image-level backups give you the ability to perform recovery at the file, mailbox, database object, volume or VM image-level using a single backup of a VMware image.
- Eliminates overhead with optimized virtual machine backup by supporting VMware vStorage APIs for Data Protection and Microsoft Hyper-V technology, which simplifies and optimizes data protection.
Improves efficiency with deduplication, incremental “forever” backup
- No more periodic full backups required for VMware and Hyper-V.
Simplifies backups and restores for VMware
- Access the interface from within VMware vCenter or vCloud Director.
- Simplified file level restores.
Enables VMware vCloud Director and OpenStack cloud backups
- Virtual Machines are the heart of most cloud applications and software-defined data centers.
- Cloud-level backups and restores reduce complexity and improve data protection capabilities.
Enables faster, more frequent snapshots
- IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager, available separately, integrates storage hardware-based snapshots to support “instant” backup and restore for larger VMs
- Uses the same backup infrastructure and familiar VMware Administration interface.
Flexible recovery and copy options from image-level backups
- File level recovery is available from Hyper-V image backups.
- Enables a self-service recovery model for object level restores of Microsoft Exchange and SQL data on VMware.
- Enables point-in-time copy management for multiple uses, such as reporting, development and test; without impacting production systems.
- VM image-level restores provide the recovery of not only the data but the virtualized computing environment – from operating systems, applications and patches to upgrades and custom configurations.
- Simplified file level restores for VMware from VMware snapshots reduces process steps by up to 70 percent with integrated, automated mount process.
Eliminates overhead with optimized virtual machine backup
- Uses VMware’s vStorage APIs for Data Protection, including block-level incremental backups based on VMware’s Changed Block Tracking. Periodic full backups take a non-disruptive snapshot at the virtual machine image level.
- Supports multiple virtual machines with one Tivoli Storage Manager agent and reduces workload on the virtual machines, allowing other operations to continue during backup.
- Eliminates the need for traditional backup windows by continuously capturing data changes at the block level.
- Supports LAN-free data transfer from the VMware server’s storage to the backup server. This preserves bandwidth for other users.
