Large organizations and multiple sites need the protection from Backup Exec Infrastructure Manager!
Backup Exec Infrastructure Manager, powered by market leading Altiris technology, allows administrators to easily inventory new and existing Backup Exec environments to quickly locate both protected and unprotected systems, deploy new Backup Exec components to unprotected systems and easily upgrade existing Backup Exec components to the latest version.
For environments that are large enough to experience multiple challenges, the Backup Exec Infrastructure Manager (BEIM) introduces the specialized management tools supporting multiple Backup Exec installations across large organizations and multiple sites. Leveraging the award-winning Altiris
Notification Server’s Configuration Management Database (CMDB) technology, BEIM delivers a highly scalable solution for the complete Backup Exec lifecycle management. The benefits of Altiris are already utilized by many Backup Exec customers today, who use Altiris to manage thousands of systems and their applications worldwide.
Backup Exec Infrastructure Manager (BEIM) delivers simplified server management from a centralized console. After configuring a BEIM server, almost all Backup Exec operations can be managed through the BEIM web-based browser including;
• Centralized Backup Exec Discovery and Inventory of All Servers, Agents, and Options
• Centralized Creation of Custom Backup Exec Installations
• Centralized View of Protected vs. Unprotected Systems
• Centralized Creation of Backup Exec 9.1-12.5 Version Upgrades
• Centralized Creation of Backup Exec Patch Deployments
• Centralized Backup Exec License Management
• Centralized Backup Exec Disk Consumption Monitoring for Catalog and Disk-based Backup Data
• Centralized Command-line Script Management and Diagnostic Log Gathering
BEIM was created to help organizations reduce the total cost of ownership of Backup Exec.
It was designed to reduce the time involved in deploying, patching, upgrading, troubleshooting, and monitoring the various components of Backup Exec in large organizations. BEIM also works with Backup Exec Central Administration Option (CASO), which provides active management of Backup Exec operations across multiple Backup Exec servers, while BEIM delivers a new level of centralized standardization for deploying, upgrading, and patching Backup
Exec installations. The combination of CASO and BEIM is ideal for remote branch offices where network connectivity may be intermittent, but standardization is needed.
