Symantec Backup Exec Central Admin Server Option
Simplifies management by providing concise information and centralized management of multiple Backup Exec media servers across the network. A robust and scalable solution, it enables centrally managed operations, load balancing, distributed catalogs, bandwidth throttling, fault tolerance, and monitoring and reporting for many Backup Exec media servers in a Windows data center, distributed throughout the network or at remote offices. The Central Admin Server Option makes Backup Exec simple to grow and effortless to manage. Operations can continue uninterrupted on the managed media server even when there is a nonpersistent network connection to the central administration server.
