Change Management

Backup administrators face a number of change management challenges in their role. Daily changes to the number, type, location and function of servers provide administrators with a constant base level of change. Backup administrators also have to make continual upgrades to their own environment to keep up with growing data demands, often replacing their backup systems wholesale to provide adequate service. Throughout all of this backup administrators must maintain the stability and success rates of their backups and ensure that no changes result in loss of critical backups.

WysDM for Backups allows backup administrators to control their changing environment through a comprehensive set of reports and analyses. WysDM for Backups collects key information from the backup infrastructure and provides summary and detailed reports on any changes that have occurred. This visibility into infrastructure changes ensures that backup administrators are aware of any alterations that may adversely affect the data protection environment. Backup administrators can also obtain reports comparing the configuration of one environment to another, ensuring a standard and hence more reliable infrastructure. The Predictive Analysis Engine can alert as soon as misconfigurations or configuration mismatches are found, ensuring that problems are fixed when they occur rather than when they impact backups.
