Bocada Prism is the first and only data protection service management solution purpose-built to intuitively drive users through the multi-phased Data Protection Service Management process. An essential step in the process is policy analysis, which requires the ability to see the impact of policy changes via trend reports. The newest version of Bocada Prism adds five new trending reports which help users understand data protection activity over time and uncover opportunities for policy enhancements to optimize the environment. In addition, performance improvements for rendering reports on very large data sets make this version of Prism ideal for large enterprise organizations, including Bocada's current installed base.
"Standardizing on the DPSM process allows IT organizations to realize several benefits including streamlined operations, reduced TCO, and improvements in customer satisfaction," said Lauren Whitehouse, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "Bocada Prism is a step above simple backup reporting tools. It provides immediate visibility into data protection environments, allowing IT to make improvements in backup and recovery operations. Prism delivers tremendous value to organizations looking to achieve better IT business alignment while reducing operational costs."
The latest version of Prism features enhanced trending functionality with trend reporting added to the Health Check and Problem Management areas. Users can now leverage the following powerful reports:
-- Backup Trends - allows users to view the amount of data being backed up
during a given time period, which is instrumental for policy management,
load balancing and storage planning
-- Backup Duration Trends - addresses the ongoing challenge of managing to
backup windows, allowing users to compare their static backup window
with backup duration trends
-- Media Usage Trends - allows users to analyze the impact of backup trends
on their media volumes over time. This report is instrumental in
helping to load balance media resources
-- Occupancy Trends - shows how overall storage changes over time, thus
enabling users to predict future storage needs and measure the impact of
changes to backup policy
-- Error Trends - enables backup administrators to see error count
trending, helping to identify chronic problems and quickly identify
which error types are the biggest offenders
"Bocada Prism was built to help users move through the DPSM model, which helps organizations optimize their data protection environment and better manage to the needs of the business," said Nancy Hurley, CEO of Bocada. "Trending reports are essential for determining if the operation is running as expected, and to highlight if there are changes that must be made in order to help meet backup windows or reduce costs by eliminating excess storage use. With this version of Prism, new and installed base customers will be able to effectively manage to the whole DPSM process to improve overall results, lower costs and improve customer satisfaction."
Bocada Prism is ideally suited for backup service providers, MSPs and SaaS vendors as well as end user organizations focused on delivering the best possible data protection services to internal or external customers. Prism supports the widest range of backup applications on the market including IBM TSM, Symantec NetBackup, BackupExec, PureDisk, EMC Networker, Avamar, HP DataProtector, CA BrightStor, Commvault Galaxy, Syncsort, and Microsoft DPM 2010.
