Xsigo to Provide EMC Data Protection Management

Xsigo Systems and EMC Corp. have established a reseller agreement enabling Xsigo to offer EMC Data Protection Advisor analysis and reporting software to the enterprise data center market.

The combination of Xsigo virtual I/O and EMC Data Protection Advisor will provide data center managers with a comprehensive solution to monitor data backup processes and to respond quickly when issues arise, according to the companies. Through the deployment of the combined solution, organizations can identify issues before they escalate and resolve them in seconds, rather than hours or days, to ensure that backup processes are completed reliably and on time.

EMC Data Protection Advisor lets IT managers pinpoint traffic bottlenecks as they occur, while Xsigo virtual I/O provides the means to address those issues in seconds, rather than the hours or days required with traditional I/O.

EMC Data Protection Advisor software enables backup reporting, alerting, monitoring, and analysis of heterogeneous, physical and virtual infrastructures, helping IT managers make quick, informed decisions, resolve problems faster, and meet service level agreements. Xsigo's flagship product, the Xsigo I/O Director, streamlines infrastructure management with I/O virtualization technology.
