EMC has announced new EMC Data Protection Advisor software capabilities that further automate and expand backup and replication monitoring, alerting and reporting in private clouds. The 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.
Data Protection Advisor simplifies and automates time-consuming, manual tasks. It collects and analyzes information from various heterogeneous backup, replications, 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.
A key feature of Data Protection Advisor is automated replication monitoring, which can quickly spot issues and trigger alerts. 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.
