What I will talk about…….

Been working with TSM for 20+ years
Been performing health-checks for 16+ years
Same problems & resolution everywhere
9 years ago decided to write a tool – (TSM Tamer)
Tool-plosion – many great ideas (DART)
ProtecTrix rewrite (unification of all products / ideas)
With dev team we’re well positioned for devops engagements
Technical guys can handle most infrastructure projects
Great toolset for software defined future
Why do we exist ? Realised that most places couldn t see their issues

Why do we exist ?2 to assist with the daily toils of a storage admin….
We needed to make it easier…..
The business says...
we need better RPO & RTO Sugar I can’t make this heap go any faster!
window – we can’t have an outage
budgets need to be stretched
time to provision is too slow
we need extra environments
data volume explosion
we need regime options for VE
Now I have snapshots – all my headaches are gone – NOT!
that means I’m not getting my new storage upgrade doesn’t it...
I’m going as fast as I can guv! You did shrink the TSM team down to just me with the cleaner covering holidays at the last review
So you want me to backup the same database multiple times each day and retain them all for months if not years?
Why do people keep ramming in new systems and not thinking about backing them up – grrr.. and I love docs renamed as v1.0, v1.1 etc!
From 200 to 2000 VMs in the space of a year and now it’s my job to protect them all.. Up/down/renames, CBT resets, retention regimes

How does it work?5 ProtecTrix is a hybrid cloud solution
ProtecTrix is a control layer that sits above Spectrum Protect
Data Pods provide capacity to the ProtecTrix capacity pool
Data Pods provide all the benefits of Spectrum Protect
ProtecTrix™ adds an intelligent layer which helps to achieve peak performance

Data Pods are built on IBM Spectrum Protect
Data pods must be ‘partnered’ (on-premise or to a cloud service)
Site workload is balanced over site member pods
Benefits of using a cloud analysis layer7 ProtecTrix Benefits
Cloud Reporting/Analysis Benefits
At a glance single pane of glass for all sites
Eliminate the ‘ahhh’ factor
Extra pair of ‘skilled’ eyes working 24x7
Significantly reduce the overhead of data protection regime
Improves overall service provided by Spectrum Protect (TSM)
Help to manage the causes of ‘artificial’ growth
Apportion the costs of data protection
Trend and predict capacity requirements
Offsite in case of a site disaster
Measure overall process/session KPI’s
Only available to authorized users
Transaction Reporting (backups, restores, snapshots, replication)
24x7 Availability
No performance impact on your existing platforms
Enables consultative access without exposing your infrastructure
ProtecTrix Deployment Options8 Delivery Options
Options – We can….
Sit on the edge in the cloud and simply ‘report’ on your setup
Add the intelligence layer delivered on your hardware
Replace your existing environment with Data Pods
Replace your execution layer (scheduler / job control)
Manage all of you client configurations (TDP/FCM/dsmc etc)
Deployment options:
Virtual Machine
Appliance
Cloud
Fit For Purpose Analysis9 ProtecTrix™ can analyse your operations from the cloud
Invitation to put your config through our FFP (fit for purpose) test
1. Go to https://invite.attam.co.uk portal and define your sites/instance setup
2. Use the portal java collector to gather data from your TSM instances
3. Upload the collections back at: https://invite.attam.co.uk
4. Use our application to take a look at what you have
5. See if your environment gets a PASS or FAIL against standard FFP criteria
Our expert team can also analyse your uploads and will be able to suggest a range of actions that might be taken to improve your environment.
ProtecTrix™ can manage licensing from the cloud
Spectrum Protect has two main licensing options
1. Processor Value Units (PVUs)
• Based on the server / node hardware in use
• Pay per PVU per agent
2. Spectrum Protect Suite
• Pay per TB
• Can deploy any agents in any combination…
Which is the right option?
1. Processor Value Units (PVUs)
• Difficult to manage in dynamic environment
2. Spectrum Protect Suite
• Easy to manage, but data growth = £££
3. The right answer:
• ‘License Assessment & Health Check’
Licensing Assessment & Health Check10
Licensing Assessment & Health Check10 ProtecTrix™ can manage licensing from the cloud
This needs to assess
1. Licensing Requirements
• PVU v Capacity
• Current and planned infrastructure
• Taking account of PSP storage options
• Remember – Deduplication and compression = smaller capacity
2. Is environment fit for purpose?
• Not just ‘a PASS or FAIL against standard FFP criteria’
• Dead data = ‘hidden growth’
• BUT missing backups = ‘hidden cost’
Output includes a cost case comparing the options and a comprehensive
health check document
