Job Scheduling for Storage Management Applications

While the internal scheduler in storage management products such as Veritas Netbackup and Tivoli Storage Manager do an adequate job of managing their own processes, they are not optimized for enterprise scheduling requirements. A significant limitation includes managing dependencies across multiple applications and platforms—critical to streamlining operations. Tidal Enterprise Scheduler provides organizations with robust scheduling functionality including cross--platform, cross--application dependency support, real--time interaction and centralized control, and Enterprise Adapters for storage management makes it possible to bring backup/restore and other storage management functions within this centralized control.

Off--the--shelf adapters are available for Veritas Netbackup and Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM). Custom integrations are available for other storage management applciations.

Benefits include:

• Consolidates backup scheduling under one enterprise--wide console scheduler
• Connects backup technology to other platforms and other applications with unlimited dependencies
• Supplements training and operational support to one scheduling environment
• Provides richer, more advanced scheduling functions than the native schedulers for greater efficiency and productivity
