EMC adds replication support to Data Protection Advisor

Unifies monitoring, analysis and reporting capabilities of backup and replication technologies

EMC has introduced new replication support in its new version of EMC Data Protection Advisor software, which enables customers to have a single, unified offering that monitors, analyses and reports across backup, replication and NAS infrastructure.

The company said that the new version of data protection management expands its monitoring, analysis and reporting capabilities to include replication software, providing a single pane for unified data protection management across backup and replication.

According to EMC, the Data Protection Advisor automates the collection of data from applications, hosts and arrays and constantly monitors for exposures and alerts on gaps that could lead to missed service level agreements (SLAs) and data protection objectives. It also provides data protection management support for replication software on Symmetrix and CLARiiON storage arrays.

The new offering includes support for RecoverPoint network-based replication, which enables customers to gain insight into replication configuration and performance; new capabilities to enhance moving to private cloud IT, enabling enterprises to deliver private cloud services by enabling reporting of resource usage, EMC said.

The company said that the new data domain deduplication storage system support includes expanded reporting for system configuration, power, temperature and fan components. It also reports and analyses deduplication ratios, providing a unified view of deduplication ratios across EMC Data Domain, Avamar and NetWorker backup offerings.

In addition, the company has also expanded its support for Celerra Unified Storage with new monitoring, alerting and reporting on CPU, memory, performance and capacity of Celerra.

Rich Napolitano, SVP and general manager of the unified storage division at EMC, said: “Unlike other solutions and approaches that only provide a glimpse of ensuring disaster recovery processes work as designed, Data Protection Advisor provides customers with the most complete data protection management solution available in the market today.

“With the addition of replication analysis and visualization capabilities in our software, we deliver customers the needed automation to simplify daily operations, improve data protection performance and ensure that the most critical information is recoverable within appropriate time objectives.
