flexible restore capabilities

It can be challenging for organizations to manage the cost, complexity
and capabilities of their backup systems, especially on today’s smarter
planet—where organizations of all sizes collect, process, use and store
more information than ever before. The ability to successfully manage
rapid data growth has become a competitive necessity. And yet, storage
administrators are also feeling the pressure of increasingly stringent
compliance demands, growing storage infrastructure complexity and
prohibitively flat IT budgets.
With the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager family, organizations can choose
the right software to manage and protect their data—while also simplifying backup administration, improving efficiency, delivering scalable
capacity and enabling advanced backup and recovery capabilities.

Simplicity
Backups can be managed by Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center
or VMware vCenter. Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center delivers
breakthrough visibility and ease of use, reducing the level of expertise
required. VMware administrators can manage both Tivoli Storage
Manager and IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy® Manager from the same
vCenter interface. What’s more, restores are easier with item-level and
near-instant recovery for virtual machines and for Linux and Microsoft
Windows servers and workstations.2
Tivoli Storage Manager “blueprints” and configuration scripts are designed

to help reduce deployment time and guesswork by automating deployment steps and integrating best practices for small, medium and large
environments.
