ManageEngine has added device support for EMC Avamar to enable backup server monitoring in OpStor, its storage resource management and capacity forecasting solution. The latest version of OpStor also features a new, intuitive dashboard that provides storage admins a snapshot of all the activity in their environment.
Backup and recovery strategy is an important part of the storage admins profile where monitoring the status of backup servers is of paramount importance. Juggling between two products - one for backup servers and another for monitoring - can be troublesome and time consuming for an admin. OpStor now has the solution admins are looking for.
"Ensuring reliable backup and recovery are the core activities of storage admins, and backup servers are an indispensable part of that. With OpStor, which now supports monitoring of EMC Avamar backup servers, admins can be assured of reliable backup and recovery of their mission-critical data from a single console,"said Pravin Kumar, product manager for OpStor at ManageEngine.
OpStor supports more than 100 different devices including RAIDs, tape libraries, switches, HBAs and host servers from a multitude of vendors such as EMC, HP, Dell, IBM, QLogic, Hitachi,Infortrend, Brocade and VMware, to name a few. Now, OpStor lets storage admins view the following metrics for EMC Avamar:
- Servers - data protected, overall utilization, last updated time
- Client - last backup date, last modified time, client backup status
- Node - utilization by OS/user, network transmitted/received, disk reads/writes, utilization, state, ping time and more
Inclusion of support for EMC Avamar backup servers has added a new dimension to the monitoring capabilities of OpStor. With the addition of backup servers, OpStor emerges as a one-stop solution for organization-wide storage monitoring needs.
In addition to the EMC Avamar support, OpStor gains a new dashboard, which summarizes all the activity happening in the storage environment at a glance. With its new, intuitive dashboard, OpStor leverages its capabilities to provide a snapshot of the overall status of a storage environment with the stats of the top 10 disks and tapes based on metrics such as reads, writes and IOPS. This new display will help storage admins address critical alerts quickly and manage their devices more effectively.
