IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments
“Virtualized servers have been a boon to the systems side of the house, but a bane for storage managers.” Hot Technologies for 2011, STORAGE Magazine, Dec 2010 (link)
Virtual servers help …• Cut costs
• Hardware, maintenance• Power, cooling, floor space
• Improve IT service levels• Add new apps fast• New delivery models• Move workloads as needed
But …• VMs do not reduce data or storage• Old ways of doing backup don’t work
• Drain on host resources• How do you handle ILM?
• Backup agent sprawl• Impossible to manage, predict licenses• New VMs might not be protected
