BANBURY, England, November 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Following the launch of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) V7.1, the storage management
and data protection specialist Silverstring [http://www.silverstring.com/default.aspx ]
has announced it will release a new cloud edition of its Predatar application.
The latest enterprise-ready version of the tool provides a cloud-based management
layer which complements the core TSM product, with additional services such as metering
and billing, reporting and provisioning.
The self-service portal can be used by business stakeholders or application owners to
collaborate with technical teams, making it ideal for enterprise use, as well as
supporting managed services and cloud providers.
"IBM's comprehensive TSM data protection builds on proven trusted foundations with a
leap forward in performance and versatility," says IBM director of storage software Ian
Smith.
"The TSM 7.1 platform contains an innovative ecosystem that allows the transparent,

interface. Predatar unlocks these enhancements by bringing a universal management and
analytics-interpretation layer built on Silverstring's proven integration expertise and
knowledge."

looking to create scalable cloud-based data protection solutions. To support this, the
latest version of Predatar has been updated to provide technical users with advanced,
service-oriented functions.
"The introduction of a collaborative portal in V8.1 also helps business users by
making TSM investments more accessible and transparent. As well as providing a forum for
requests, it can also be used for management reporting, chargeback and analytics."
