EMC has introduced the new EMC Data Protection Advisor software capabilities that further automate and expand backup and replication monitoring, alerting and reporting in private clouds. The innovative software, which is running on more than 500 thousand systems at over 1,000 customer sites worldwide, now offers expanded levels of automated analysis that saves time and money by providing a single view of data protection status.
EMC Data Protection Advisor is management software that automatically monitors, analyzes, provides alerts and reports on all aspects of the protection status of an information technology (IT) infrastructure and is ideal for a private cloud where IT is delivered as a service. The new Data Protection Advisor 5.7 provides deeper visibility into EMC and third-party deduplication software, backup applications, virtual tape libraries and applications, including Microsoft Exchange 2010.
Data Protection Advisor simplifies and automates time-consuming, manual tasks. It collects and analyzes information from various heterogeneous backup, replication, file server, database and virtualization technologies into a single customizable interface for faster problem resolution and more efficient audit, compliance, reporting and planning. New capabilities enable scanning and reporting without the need for agents to be installed on production hosts.
EMC has added monitoring, alerting and reporting for EMC RecoverPoint continuous data protection (CDP), continuous remote replication (CRR) and concurrent local and remote replication (CLR) on EMC Symmetrix, and CLARiiON storage systems.
The new version of EMC Data Protection Advisor (5.7) will be available later this quarter from EMC and authorized partners it will be available as free upgrade to current customers under maintenance.
