STORServer Agent For VMware Consolidated Backup

The STORServer Agent for VMware Consolidated Backup improves manageability of backups and reduces costs by centralizing the backup of VMware ESX servers to your IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) server. This eliminates the need to have individual backup clients on each virtual machine or VMware ESX server.

Consolidating backups of virtual machines with the STORServer Agent and using Consolidated Backup snapshots in the SAN also reduces resource utilization on production virtual machines, hosts and the LAN during backup operations and allows the virtual machine to continue to operate without impact during backup operations.

The STORServer Agent supports the use of VMware vSphere 4 components as specified in the readme for the current kit.
