LEGATO Raises the Bar for Enterprise Management with NetWorker Management Console

Announcement posted by Legato Systems Inc. 30 Oct 2002

New Browser-based Management Solution Makes Centralised Monitoring, Administration and Reporting Easy and Affordable
LEGATO Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGTO), a worldwide leader in enterprise content and storage management software, announces the availability of NetWorker Management Console, a browser-based solution for managing LEGATO NetWorker through centralised monitoring and enterprise-level reporting that maximises administrator productivity in small or large heterogeneous enterprise environments.

Todays business environment requires mission-critical applications that protect data in the data centre and across an enterprise. Tools that keep such applications highly available, limit and monitor user access, enable remote administration, and provide environmental information to ensure optimum performance and scalability, are increasingly valuable to ensure reliable protection of storage assets and minimise downtime costs, said Steve Kenniston, analyst, Enterprise Storage Group. With todays announcement, LEGATO has set a new standard for the quality and quantity of enterprise-level reporting and monitoring capabilities, helping IT take another important step toward utility-type efficiencies in storage management.

"We were able to deploy NetWorker Management Console in less than an hour. The NetWorker reports give me vital information in a matter of seconds, said Bobby Villarreal, network administrator, Corestaff Services. The ability to monitor and administer my entire environment from one GUI helps me save at least 30 minutes of time per day on NetWorker-related activities.

The enterprise-level reporting feature provides more than 40 detailed reports that contain backup statistics, monitor and measure success levels, and track events that require administrator attention. By elevating the capabilities of the LEGATO NetWorker Administration management tool with an industry-standard SQL database, the report offerings of NetWorker Administration are expanded to also allow the administrator to export report information to third-party formats.

NetWorker Management Console provides centralised, real-time monitoring of one or more LEGATO NetWorker servers from a single GUI, enabling administrators to quickly identify, diagnose and correct backup problems. Administrators also benefit by being able to manage backup operations from any machine in the environment with Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.

NetWorker Management Console expands the breadth and depth of the capabilities of NetWorker Operations. While NetWorker Operations was created specifically to assist the system operator with routine NetWorker tasks, the enterprise level reporting and added efficiency of the browser-based functionality makes NetWorker Management Console perfectly designed for the system administrator managing an entire NetWorker environment, said Victoria Grey, vice president, Information Protection, LEGATO Systems. Combining NetWorker Management Console with newly released NetWorker Availability for automatic prevention of system slowdowns and failures creates the best of all worlds -- superior management capabilities for day-to-day operations plus automatic assurance that NetWorker is available to provide optimum backup and recovery of their business-critical information.
