Leveraging Tivoli Storage Manager for Cloud Computing

IBMTivoli®Storage Manager provides unified data protection and recovery management across the entire infrastructure, including the cloud, to provide reliable and predictable access to data. Tivoli Storage Manager includes automated data life-cycle management, built-in data reduction technologies, advanced application protection and more.

Data managed by cloud providers must be protected appropriately, according to
its value. For business data, this typically means managing multiple copies and multiple versions of every file. Tivoli Storage Manager provides flexible levels of data protection, and can meet a variety of recovery point objectives and recovery time objectives, so multiple levels of service can be offered.

More important, Tivoli Storage Manager can be configured to segregate data by client. Cloud providers can ensure their clients that on site and off site backup media will not get into the hands of other users, even in a disaster recovery scenario.

Cloud Computing Types

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack™ is an advanced, continuous data protection and near-instant recovery software solution for business-critical Microsoft® Windows® and Linux® servers. Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack helps organizations reduce the amount of data at risk between back-ups to almost zero, and it reduces the recovery time for almost any data loss to just seconds. Within cloud environments, Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack can be deployed to provide enhanced service level protection for the most critical applications, whether on physical or virtual servers.

IBM Passport Advantage Suggested Volume Pricing Levels

Relationship Suggested Volume Price (RSVP) Level

For a new customer, the RSVP Level is determined by your initial purchase. The date of that initial purchase, rounded up to the first day of the following month in most cases, determines your Anniversary. The Anniversary is used to determine the Software Maintenance renewal date, as well as the annual date on which your RSVP will be reviewed. At each Anniversary, your purchases for the previous 12 months are automatically reviewed and the new RSVP Level is established according to how many Passport Advantage points were acquired during that period. These points are then referred to as the "carry over" points and are used to help determine if you are eligible for an improvement in your RSVP Level. CDW is an SVP approved IBM partner.

Transaction Suggested Volume Price (TSVP) Level

Every Passport Advantage acquisition by a business with a Relationship Suggested Volume Price (RSVP) Level of "D" or above, including both the initial Passport Advantage acquisition as well as Software Maintenance renewal transactions, may be eligible for better pricing at the Transaction Suggested Volume Price (TSVP) Level. CDW is an SVP approved IBM partner.
