Regulatory Compliance

Successful backups are no longer enough. Backup administrators today deal with both internal and external regulatory requirements in addition to their technical duties; a job for which they are often ill-prepared. These requirements add to the burden of backups by requiring not only that backups are successful but they are at the right level, on the right media and with the right retention (and destruction) policy. Without all of these requirements met a technical success could be a business failure. The problem is that backup applications are purely focused on the technical aspect and leave backup administrators with the much harder job of working out if a backup is a business success or not.

WysDM for Backups bridges the gap between technical and business requirements to provide a true view of data protection. WysDM for Backups provides full reporting of regulatory requirements as they relate to backups, from specific issues to business-level exposure. The Predictive Analysis Engine continually monitors the environment to ensure that policies are and will continue to be met, alerting when it finds issues or potential issues to allow backup administrators to fix issues as they arise rather than after they have caused business impact.
