Data Center Backup
Comparison of Data Center Backup features of Product A and Product B
Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager is great for the orchestration and management of its data protection workflows, with a leading multi-cloud integration solution and multiple storage location options. The downside of Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager it's the high price, compare to similar solutions that claimed the same results, but are less known.
IBM Storage Protect is well-suited for large heterogenous environments, with skilled IT staff on-hand. You need a person (or group of people) to monitor day-to-day operations, tweak schedules where needed and be mindful of things that might go wrong. It is also well-suited if you have other IBM products that integrate well with Storage Protect, like Storage Protect Plus or IBM Defender. It is less suited for small companies, with only one person responsible for IT. Employing Storage Protect would be overkill and use too much time of the administrator.
Tight integration with Db2. As an IBM product, it works seamlessly with Db2. You can query what is stored in TSM via Db2 itself. You can also use DB scripts to maintain the items being stored there.
Like most of its competitors, Tivoli handles deduplication well.
Provides a GUI for browsing and maintaining items stored there. I rarely use this feature, due to the next item I will post:
Command-line interface directly from my Db2 database servers.
Both client and server-side deduplication, compression and encryption are available.
If the requirements are zLinux and DB2 support then it's the most solid solution.
Can be complex to implement, but once up and running, it is rock-solid and immensely scalable.
In the present, a backup solution is a must-have, but then companies start using a solution for virtual machines, another solution for bare-metal servers, and another solution for their ERP. By using Spectrum Protect you can have all of that in a single pane of glass. This way you can have a simple recovery plan for all your information assets.
Due Company's strategy we selected Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager. Due to some strategy alignments, we choose Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager in order to have the replication to be managed by OS layer and not Storage one - where it's possible to System Administrators have the replication status and to check if everything is fine or not. If not the Sysadmin will able to try to stop/start replication from themselves.
IBM Spectrum Protect is related to the other IBM Spectrum products listed because it is part of the suite and is also the main backup product for backup and restoration of information. With Veeam it is related as they present competence in different lines of technology, often the integration of both tools can be the best solution for clients looking for a successful backup strategy.
By keeping the data safe, with scheduled deletion options of certain sensitive information, we keep our company safe and avoid fines, reputational damage.
While the overall cost of Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager solutions are high, choosing or changing the location of where the data is stored in EU comes free of charge.
Automatic backup and recovery of data helps us maintain of certain level of trust, less disturbance in daily operations, reducing the high cost that tech data outages would cause.
Tivoli does well running file-level backups, but Exchange is clunky and restores are really hard. With no SharePoint agent, if you use SharePoint you will need another product like AvePoint DocAve. The web-based GUI console is MUCH improved over earlier versions, but you will still need to be a command-line guru to make Tivoli do everything, and local (node) config files still rule. This product was originally ported from Unix and retains may of its 'nix roots.
