Tivoli Software from IBM Storage Data Protection Solution Seminar Tele-Rep Training Manual Internal Document IBM Software Group Prepared by: Wunderman Customer Dialogue Group

OVERVIEW Tivoli Data Protection Solution Current economic and social conditions have brought storage issues such as data protection to the attention of senior management. This has forced IT Managers and Directors to take a more proactive role in identifying and implementing a solution. A solution which will have an immediate impact on the stability and protection of their e-business data and will increase operational efficiency and achieve the greatest return-on-investment. Corporate IT departments responsible for maintaining the viability of such business-critical resources typically view storage and recovery of their data as among the most important services they perform. However, historically, backups have been labor intensive, and data recoveries have been both slow and, in many cases, unreliable. 2 | *

Tivoli Data Protection Solution Components of Tivoli Data Protection Solution: Disaster Recovery Preparation • Complete data protection also involves disaster preparation and recovery. Local copies of data will protect against discrete failures or errors in equipment, storage or people. But disasters tend to happen to entire facilities, not just a portion of the equipment inside those facilities. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager will prepare an additional copy of your active data for safekeeping at an offsite location to provide that extra insurance against disasters. Should a disaster strike and destroy your online storage and computers, the offsite copy of your active data can be restored to new computers to get your business up and running quickly. • Automated generation of a customized server disaster recovery plan • Off-site recovery media management • Inventory of machine information required to recover the server and its clients • Centralized management of the disaster recovery process • Executable scripts that assist in recovery automation • Electronic vaulting of storage pool and database backups 8 | *

Tivoli Data Protection Solution Components of Tivoli Data Protection Solution: Archive / Retrieve: • IBM Tivoli Storage Manager goes beyond just data backups to include data archiving. Until online storage is as inexpensive as offline storage, archiving inactive data is an effective way to reduce your online storage costs. • The cost of storing a gigabyte of data on online storage is typically thirty times more expensive than the same gigabyte on offline storage. • Some percentage of an organizations’ data is “inactive”; it hasn’t been accessed in weeks if not months. • IBM Tivoli Storage Manager will move inactive data to less expensive offline storage, freeing up online disk space for more important active data. • If that inactive data must be used again, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager will retrieve that data for you. 9 | *

Tivoli Data Protection Solution Components of Tivoli Data Protection Solution: Archive / Retrieve: • HSM - Hierarchical Storage Management: • IBM Tivoli Storage Manager also includes a more automated version of “archive” called Hierarchical Storage Management or HSM. • Like archiving, HSM removes data from online storage and puts it on less expensive offline storage. • But unlike archive, HSM leaves a “data-stub” on online storage that shows the name of the removed file. With this stub, you can easily access the offline data, albeit much more slowly than if it were online. • IBM Tivoli Storage Manager’s HSM capabilities are automated. • IBM Tivoli Storage Manager will “watch” online data-files to see how often they are used. If not opened for an administrator specified length of time, they will be removed to offline storage leaving only the data-stub behind. • For many businesses with huge amounts of data, but not all of it needed online all the time, HSM is the best way to save on storage costs. 10 | *

Tivoli Data Protection Solution Components of Tivoli Data Protection Solution: Application Protection: • 24 x 365 application protection • Some of today’s most business-critical application programs must remain on and active 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. • Fortunately, the manufacturers of some of these important programs understand the need for data protection. • Some applications have a built-in capability to control external data protection applications. • By directly controlling the time and method by which a data transfer to offline storage occurs, the application can continue operating with no interruption. 11 | *
