BrightStor SRM r11.6 also features extended reporting capabilities that enable system administrators to more closely align storage capacity and data protection with business needs, CA of Islandia, New York said.
BrightStor SRM provides centralized cross-platform data storage management, CA said. The BrightStor SRM offers centralized management of storage from laptop to mainframe, granular file analysis and flexible data classification, and centralized backup resource management and SRM-driven backup, the company said. The BrightStor SRM also offers extensive reporting capabilities, and storage analytics on executive-oriented view, CA added.
BrightStor SRM provides centralized management of storage resources for both distributed and mainframe systems enabling storage efficiency with a global view of storage capacity, allocation and usage, CA said. This cross-platform solution analyzes, manages, reports, schedules and automates networked storage resources across the enterprise, the company said. It also reduces risk by monitoring and reporting of storage-intensive systems and applications such as backup and restore, messaging and databases, CA added.
Managed service provider, Invision.com needed a set of simple, efficient tools to help it provide its customers with highly reliable services, according to Invision.com of Commack, New York. With the addition of IBM Lotus and DB2 UDB support, CA's BrightStor SRM fulfills this need across a broader spectrum of information assets, making it easier and less expensive to implement the data protection and availability necessary to meet the company’s SLAs (service level agreements), Invision.com added.
BrightStor SRM simplifies management of complex enterprise storage environments, optimizing the use of storage resources for data protection and application availability, CA said. Its advanced policy automation capabilities generate threshold-based alerts that allow storage managers to take immediate corrective action when storage space is running low, is allocated ineffectively or when information needs to be backed up, the company added.
IT organizations are simultaneously faced with increased demand for data protection and availability while having to cope with tighter budgets, CA said. The CA BrightStor SRM addresses this challenge by providing a 'single pane of glass' through which storage assets across the enterprise can be appropriately monitored, managed and allocated, the company added.
CA demonstrated its BrightStor SRM r11.6 at the recently concluded Lotusphere 2007 held in Orlando, Florida. The company also displayed its CA Message Manager for email archiving, electronic discovery and mailbox management, CA MDY FileSurf for records management, and application performance management products from CA's Wily Technology Division, the company added.
