EMC takes automated data protection to new levels

EMC Corporation announced new EMC Data
Protection Advisor software capabilities, that further automate and
expand backup and replication monitoring, alerting and reporting in
private clouds. The innovative software, which is running on more
than 500 thousand systems at over 1,000 customer sites worldwide, now
offers expanded levels of automated analysis that saves time and
money by providing a single view of data protection status. “EMC
Data Protection Advisor will enable our operations staff, backup
administrators and the business as a whole, to improve the way we
manage the protection and recovery of all of our critical data,”
said Aaron Plaza, Senior Technology Platform Manager, Emerson. He
firther added, “And now that many of EMC's backup management
capabilities are automated, our data is better protected and we can
spend more time working on next generation information technology
activities to drive our business forward.” “With EMC Data
Protection Advisor for Replication Analysis we were able to quickly
identify recovery gaps and drill down to proactively address any
specific gap details, saving tremendous time and resources. Without
this software, tracking replications is a manual process and if not
done carefully is prone to error,” said Doug Bovie, Head-Backup/NAS
Worldwide, Orange Business Services.
