Tek-Tools Adds Module Profiler for CommVault

Tek-Tools Software, Inc. continues to expand its support matrix to keep pace with ever-changing enterprise infrastructures. Tek-Tools adds new module, Profiler for CommVault, and support for EMC Celerra Virtual Data Movers to its Profiler for EMC Celerra module, to further expand the lengthy list of virtualized and physical IT assets the Profiler Suite can manage. Tek-Tools also expanded its Profiler for Xiotech module to include support for Xiotech’s Magnitude 3D 4000 storage area network (SAN) systems and Emprise 7000 system. With these enhancements, Profiler maintains its position as the most comprehensive IT infrastructure monitoring suite available.

More than 1,000 customers leverage the Profiler Suite to manage and maximize their virtualized and physical IT infrastructure components. From Profiler, IT managers can generate pre-defined and customized reports for real-time identification and problem resolution, to help optimize capacity utilization, performance, and availability, and to capture historical views of performance and capacity information to enable more accurate forecasting.

Victor Abyad, senior infrastructure architect for debt-management company Credit Solutions explains: "To deliver our debt management program and support our more than 150,000 clients, our business requires a secure and complex IT infrastructure. With so many components, the ability to look across servers, storage, backup and applications from the one Profiler console enables us to solve IT problems more quickly as well as to proactively make more informed decisions about how to maximize our infrastructure to support our business most effectively."

The new Profiler for CommVault module expands Profiler’s comprehensive support for backup to ensure proactive management of backup operations and enables users to optimize their investment in Galaxy systems to ensure data is secure. Profiler for CommVault provides customizable reports on job activity, summary and forecasting information on backups, and delivers alerts on failed or missed backups so that data is never unsecured.

Tek-Tools also enhanced the Profiler for EMC Celerra module with support for Celerra Virtual Data Movers (VDM) to deliver a complete view of physical and virtual data movers and the relationships between them. This comprehensive view allows for easy creation of data movers as well as added security and manageability. The module offers web-based reporting and monitoring that provides a consolidated, centralized view of one or multiple Celerra file servers. From any supported web browser, administrators can view status or run configuration and performance including the breakdown of logical storage devices or file systems, and export information to maximize the efficiency of their investment in EMC Celerra systems. IT infrastructures continue to change at a blistering pace as new technologies are brought in to maximize efficiencies. Often to the chagrin of IT management personnel, the efficiency brought about by new technologies is offset by the management burden they create. It’s nearly impossible for today’s already strapped IT personnel to manage complex infrastructures with multiple point solutions and manual spreadsheets without considerable risk of error or poor performance.

"In the enterprise, it’s all about maximizing uptime of business applications to support the user base. In order to do that, every IT organization faces the daily challenge of providing infrastructure that simply does not fail, and doing it with limited time and resources," said Gustavo Sosa, product manager, Tek-Tools. "A single clear and comprehensive view of performance, capacity, utilization and availability for the entire infrastructure is required to efficiently manage and optimize the infrastructure. We understand this pressure on our customers and continually strive to stay in lock-step with their ever-changing IT environments."
