IBM Tivoli Storage Manager - Software Subscription and Support Renewal (1 year) - 10 value units

Today, an On Demand Business faces an expanding set of data-protection challenges and regulatory data-retention requirements. The 24x7 availability of mission-critical data and applications is no longer a goal - it's a business 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 also helping to reduce complexity, manage costs 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.
