IBM Tivoli Storage Manager family offerings are designed to provide centralized, automated data protection.

Tivoli Storage Manager
TSM helps reduce the risks associated with data loss while helping to reduce complexity, manage costs and address compliance with regulatory data retention requirements.

• Enables you to protect your organization’s data from failures and other errors by storing backup, archive, space management and bare-metal restore data, as well as compliance and disaster-recovery data in a hierarchy of offline storage.
• Helps protect computers running a variety of different operating systems, on hardware ranging from notebooks to mainframe computers and connected through the Internet, wide area networks (WANs), local area networks (LANs) or storage area networks (SANs).
• Uses Web-based management, intelligent data move-and-store techniques and comprehensive policy-based automation working together to help increase data protection and potentially decrease time and administration costs.
• Operates on a progressive incremental methodology that backs up only new or changed versions of files, thereby greatly reducing data redundancy, network bandwidth and storage pool consumption as compared to traditional methodologies based on periodic full backups.
• Works in concert with storage hardware to exploit other data-reduction techniques such as subfile backup, client compression and device compression, so companies have to back up less data and can save time, space and money.
