About the WysDM Data Protection Management (DPM) Software Suite

WysDM's DPM solutions feature business policy enforcement for meeting service-level agreements, regulatory compliance, and internal best practices requirements. The WysDM 4 suite of products includes:

o WysDM for Backups, WysDM's flagship product, uses a patent-pending
Cross-Domain Correlation(TM) technology to analyze information
collected from all major components of the data protection environment,
including servers, storage, networks, and applications. WysDM's
Predictive Analysis Engine (PAE) integrates with existing
infrastructure tools to provide automatic notification of performance
problems, service-level agreement (SLA) violations, poorly optimized
environments, risks associated with recovery time objectives, and more.
The PAE's unique ability allows the system to detect very subtle
problems and inefficiencies, resulting in significant risk reduction
and cost savings.

o The new WysDM for Disks, utilizes WysDM's DPM technology to provide
configuration and status information for disk arrays, allowing storage
administrators to manage utilization metrics, balance LUN allocations
across array ports, and ensure fan-out ratios do not exceed vendors'
specifications.

o WysDM for Fileservers provides the visibility required to understand
large and complex fileserving environments. Utilizing the WysDM®
adaptive architecture, WysDM for Fileservers provides comprehensive
reporting and analysis on all aspects of fileserver operations,
including hardware configuration, virtualization, snapshot management,
and performance.
