IBM Tivoli Storage Manager protects your organization's data from hardware failures and other errors by storing backup and archive copies of data on offline storage. Scaling to protect hundreds of computers running a dozen OS ranging from laptops to mainframes and connected together via the internet, WANs or LANs, Storage Manager's centralized Web-based management, smart-data-move and store techniques and comprehensive policy-based automation all work together to minimize data protection administration costs and the impact to both computers and networks. Optional modules allow business-critical applications that must run 24x365 to utilize Storage Manager's centralized data protection with no interruption to their service.
