Monitoring Agent for IBM Spectrum Protect From Galileo Performance Explorer

Galileo Performance Explorer announces its monitoring agent for IBM Spectrum Protect.

As a provider of scalable data protection for physical file servers, applications, and virtual environments, IBM Spectrum Protect is a choice among many organizations. It allows them to manage billions of objects per backup server, migrate data to diverse locations, and reduce backup infrastructure costs.

The company is expanding the capabilities of its infrastructure performance monitoring solution, Galileo Performance Explorer, by adding the Spectrum Protect agent. Users can monitor their data protection application in collaboration with cloud, storage, database, server, and SAN environment metrics.

Currently, IT administrators use a mix of tools to perform the tedious process of reporting and trending their backup infrastructure. This often causes inaccuracies in reporting or delays in troubleshooting that add unnecessary risk to an organization’s most critical infrastructure assets. Moreover, monitoring tools available today fail to add value beyond visual presentation.

The firm solves this challenge by providing visibility into the condition of Spectrum Protect environments, as well as detailed analytics to easily and quickly pinpoint where any issues may lie. Backed by decades of experience with Spectrum Protect, the company provides insight beyond what is readily available in Operations Center (OC) or command-line queries.

Rich Davis, senior developer, Galileo, understands the challenges that IT teams face and used that knowledge as the driver in developing the firm’s monitoring agent.

“Backups are tough, and they always have been,” he says. “When you have a large amount of backups processing, say 1,500, how do you know for sure that you’re protected? Our goal was to answer that question, and I think we nailed it. In a single view you can instantly see every major Spectrum Protect process and be confident you’re protected, or you can zero in on what needs to be fixed if you’re not.“

A longtime company’s customer, who is responsible for a large Spectrum Protect infrastructure at a government agency agrees: “This is a one-stop-shop. It keeps me from logging into multiple tools and places to troubleshoot backup failures. I can click into the detail for the timeframe selected and quickly gather the information I need to solve my problems. That’s a real time saver.“
