Overview
Get beyond backup reporting with a comprehensive, single console view
from which to track all QiNetix data management operations. Track
and trend storage resource utilization across your enterprise, data
center or department. Improve your data recovery rates by measuring
operation success against definable service level criteria. Apply
costing metrics to easily map data storage and data management costs
to business objectives, to ensure data and application availability
at the lowest possible cost. Rely on intuitive, drill-down reporting
which provides you and your executives a concise view into what is
working correctly and where corrective action is needed.
Enterprise Management
Simplify IT processes by creating, defining, monitoring and managing
all QiNetix data management services from a single console. Consolidated
physical, logical and application views of data let you quickly monitor
data protection and storage resources across the datacenter or the
globe. Mapping storage management operation to business units helps
paint a clear picture of the primary users of storage resources while
customizable metrics can be used to globally measure success rates
for data protection, migration, archival and replication services.
QNet reporting lets you:
- Reduce the time wasted in verifying the success of backup operations
- Identify why backups exceed your backup window
- Eliminate manual reporting tasks
Compliance & Service Level Management
QNet software keeps you "in the know" regarding what operational processes
succeeded and failed, how business-critical information is protected
and what data is not protected. Have confidence in data protection
operations due to dynamic monitoring of data protection service level
metrics. Detailed reports keep successful recovery operations visible
and tell you when and why recovery operations fail so you can take
action to further reduce downtime and raise overall data availability.
QNet reporting lets you:
- Identify under protected resources
- Validate servers and applications are sufficiently protected
- Manage failures by exception
Data Lifecycle Management
QNet software simplifies the difficult task of tracking business applications'
consumption of storage resources by allowing you to view information
about all copies of your data and the storage resources it consumes,
including server, application, disk, library, media and network, enabling
you to see a complete picture. This makes it easy to match data management
services to resources consumed so that you can gauge utilization of
primary, secondary and offline storage and better optimize it's use.
QNet reporting lets you:
- Eliminate redundant data protection operations
- Forecast future media/ disk usage
Costing / Chargeback
QNet presents a logical, as opposed to physical, view of the enterprise
and applications, and it provides improved management across different
physical entities, such as servers, libraries, and applications. You
can easily group together like entities, which you can then classify,
manage and track against user-defined cost categories and billable
entities. With the data lifecycle costing based on the host or application
view, you can then link the amount of data stored with cost of tiered
storage used, to retain it, improve utilization rates and reduce total
cost of ownership. QNet reporting lets you:
- Analyze data protection costs per application/ system
- Budget for future hardware and media costs
- Charge departments per operation or capacity
Notification and Alerts
Receive alerts when backup operations fail, or go offline. Monitor
the availability and status of devices, like tape libraries, disk
drives and disk volumes. Escalate notification when multiple consecutive
operations fail and are not resolved within a defined period. Configure
your environment to keep you informed when critical data protection
services are up or down. QNet reporting lets you:
- Resolve issues before data loss occurs
- Identify failing media/ hardware
- Receive warnings of low media pools
