Moving Beyond “Dudes with Spreadsheets”: Monitor and Report on Your NetBackup Environment with OpsCenter
In large environments, it’s imperative to have a sound reporting and monitoring strategy around your backup and recovery infrastructure. You need to know if your backups are running successfully, your boss needs to be able to show management that the company has a working solution that is delivering protection results, and in many cases, passing audit. If you don’t have this ability, then how do you know you’re getting a good return on your investment? How can management justify that they are running the right solution? Here are a few valuable NetBackup OpsCenter benefits:
- Better predict backup storage consumption across multiple locations through maintained historical backup and archive job information.
- Reports can be created around one of the most highly managed areas of NetBackup: the policy and schedule engine.
- People can be less removed from day to day operations, and have centralized reporting for backup and archive operations.
- Business reporting previously available with VBR - including historical trending and predictive forecasting, cost analysis reports, complete report customization and support for 3rd party data protection products - now included in the OpsCenter package.
