The Data Management Game Changer

The Data Management Game Changer

We have all heard this nightmare of a scene; a data center manager is manually logging backups and tape information in an excel file, or worse on paper! Here’s another frightening scenario; someone is manually delivering unencrypted physical tapes via car to an offsite location for long-term archival. These are both a recipe for data catastrophe. Even the best laid manual backup and Disaster recovery plan have one thing working against it—human error.

Change is a difficult pill to swallow, and even more difficult if your company has not encountered data loss. If you have had an uneventful journey through the land of manual backups and archival management, your business probably suffers from the infamous “it will never happen to us” mentality. It’s the same thing we hear when talking about cybersecurity, “nobody is going to breach our system,” and we all know by reading recent news headlines, that even highly protected companies are susceptible to a breach.

When it comes to automating backups, there is technology available that allows you to dip your toe in without taking a full plunge into data management and automation. There is also technology available to those who are ready to take a running cannonball into automated media management, and they come in the same easy to integrate package—DSI Tracker and DSI VTL Conductor.

We know there is a reason why companies continue to use manual logging; because it’s a system that is currently defined and because of the set of policies they have outlined and follow. By listening to our IBM i customers we have heard them say that there is a need for a solution that is flexible, integrates seamlessly into their current environment, scales with growth and can be defined by policies developed by each unique company configuration. Tracker and Conductor not only meet those needs but coupled with a VTL can improve backup windows, eliminate errors, provide easy integration with existing backup processes all while reducing operational cost.

Stay tuned for a deep dive into our solutions developed specifically for IBM i environments that automate the entire backup process, efficiently manage data recovery and streamline reporting.
