Data Protection
Tivoli Storage Manager
Data forms one of the
most precious assets of an enterprise, and because of this, its
protection is critical. However, despite this reality, the
implementation of a backup solution and the definition of the
strategy it implies are challenges very often ignored. As a world-class leader
in software development, IBM has developed the Tivoli Storage Manager
solution which is today one of the best products of its kind on the
market. However, it is important to keep in mind that choosing a
backup solution and implementing it correctly are two different
matters. As specialists in data
protection, Orinux has developed high-level skills in the analysis,
implementation and training of Tivoli Storage Manager. We offer a complete
solution, arranging our services into four phases: Audit In our report, we first
consolidate what we know of the technical architecture (to best use
TSM), and with the aim of achieving availability and speed, we offer
recommendations concerning the networks and servers. Training To involve the
administrators in the steps of analysis, installation, configuration,
tests and validation, it is highly recommended that trainings be
given before the implementation of the solution. Implementation If the solution
necessitates a Business Recovery Plan (BRP), then the Disaster
Recovery Manager module, which ensures a continuation of activities
in the case of a major disruption to the production site, will be
installed and configured. The Go-Live Process Assistance from Orinux
during the first week is essential for ensuring that no element is
missing and that the administrators have a firm grasp of the
solution. Client reference “You have accomplished
a flawless mission. All the expected services were conducted in
accordance with best practices”
The aim of an audit is to
define how TSM will be implemented.
It implies making an
inventory of the technical architecture, the different modes of
communication and the hardware which will be used for backups
(networks, resources, disks, servers etc.).
Trainings give future TSM
administrators the necessary knowledge to control the software and
anticipate and recognize any problems that may arise.
Implementation is the
installation of the TSM server, the configuration of software
components, and the conduct of tests.
The go-live process of
the solution is the most critical step of the project as data is now
being protected by the newly installed solution.
