HT ISM |
BridgeHead’s HT ISM is an Integrated Storage Management software platform for automated, policybased data lifecycle management. HT ISM helps IT organizations meet their critical business continuance, disaster recovery, data availability and compliancy needs. It provides a range of sophisticated software programs used to copy, re-position and manage data on secondary storage media and devices. These include:
- File system and disk volume backup
- File and disk volume replication
- Active file archiving (with or without stubbing)
- Application archiving
- Staged data migration
Individually, each of these services solves particular business problems, such as high-speed data recovery in response to equipment failure or long-term storage and tracking of historic data for compliancy purposes. However, it is integration of these services that makes HT ISM a uniquely valuable product in the enterprise storage marketplace. HT ISM coordinates and streamlines the use of storage management data services through a common secondary storage management infrastructure. The elements of this heterogeneous enterprise infrastructure include:
- Common network data transport system – efficient transport of data from any system to target storage on any other systems on the network.
- Enterprise media manager – manages all secondary storage and media enterprisewide, dynamically allocating the correct media according to policies and managing the resultant data set copies and media volumes through sophisticated retention, rotation, and maintenance cycles.
- Enterprise device management – supports most types of secondary storage including disk, tape, and optical media.
HT ISM lets IT administrators fully automate procedures through rules-based policy engines, easily administer data lifecycle management through its multi-level interfaces, and gain complete visibility through robust reporting and analysis tools.
HT ISM users are able to consolidate a wide array of secondary storage technologies into a single, centrally administered storage environment capable of meeting data availability, security, and retention requirements for data across all common computing platforms, applications, network topologies, and physical locations.
