DataManagement

MoreReliableDataProtectionandRecovery;LowerCostDataPreservation

Whencomprehensivemanagementtoolsareinuse,thenITadministratorscanbe

assuredofcomprehensiveprotectionandadherencetopoliciesfordatacentralized

fromremotesitelocations.Theuseof

datacenterinfrastructure,whichoften

includesmoremoderndisk‐basedapproachestodatamanagementthanwhatis

foundinremotesitelocations,improvesthereliabilityandperformanceofdata

managementtasks.Performingthesetasksonasecondarycopyofthedata

removedfromtheremotesitealsospeedsperformanceofsystemsat

theremote

sitewhicharenolongerweighteddownbyintrusivebackupoperations.



Datamanagedusingatieredcombinationofdiskandtape,orintoaninfrastructure

fromwhichtapehasbeeneliminatedcompletely,alsolowersthecostofdata

preservation.



EnablingITadministratorsandoperatorswhomhavebeen

trainedfordata

managementtomanageremotedataisalsoabenefit.Organizationsnolonger

needtowonderifbackuptaskshavebeencompleted,tapecartridgesrotated,or

datamovedtooffsitelocations.Theycanalsobenefitfromthefasterrecoverythat

trainedadministratorsandoperatorscandeliverwhentheywork

with

comprehensiveremotemanagementtools,suchaswhatCommVaultSimpana

softwaredelivers.
