Unified Operations Management
It achieves unified portal, unified user management, unified authentication, unified management across multiple backup domains, and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). This satisfies the needs of various scenarios, including unified management of multiple data centers and shared disaster recovery clouds.
• Unified Management
– Business operations across backup domains can be directly managed through the operations center without the need to switch logins, ensuring a friendly user experience.
– The operations center supports roles such as operations administrator, operator, tenant administrator, and tenant operator. Users can be assigned to backup domains to establish a unified user system.
– Dashboard is supported, including reports from both operations management and disaster recovery business perspectives. Unified presentation of global data is supported, as well as individual backup domain data.
– Events and alarms for the operations center and all backup domains can be managed centrally.
• Backup Domain Management
– AnyBackup 8 backup domains of multiple versions can be connected into the operations center.
– Personal information, security policies, and language switching (Chinese/English) for all backup domains can be managed centrally within the operations center.
• Disaster Recovery as a Service: Disaster recovery capabilities such as backup, recovery, and remote replication are provided for tenants as services.
– Service Catalog: Operations administrators can customize service publication and deactivation, as well as service bundle offerings.
– Self-Service Subscription: Tenant administrators can subscribe services. When applying for services, over-provisioning is supported if the total service volume exceeds the license quota.
– Service Metering and Billing: Metering and billing are supported for service usage and reports will be generated. Operations administrators and tenant administrators can view service usage, fees, and usage trends within their respective permissions.
• License Management
– Perpetual licenses are supported, allowing unified registration and activation of perpetual licenses within the operations center.
– Measurable licenses, such as capacity, number of clients, disaster recovery management resources, and tape drives can be shared across multiple backup domains, multiple tenants, and multiple users within a tenant.
– Non-measurable licenses, such as the backup essential module, DRM essential module, and unrestrained site-type modules, must be allocated to specific backup domains for use. These licenses can be reclaimed and reallocated, improving flexibility and helping customers reduce costs.
• Other
– Unified Client Management: On-demand client downloads based on backup domain versions are supported for the operations center. Idle clients can also be cleaned up.
– Personalized Configuration: Branding, product information, and product style can be customized through the operations center. The personalized configurations can be synchronized to backup domains.
– High Availability Support: The operations center is deployed on Proton, utilizing a cloud-native and microservices architecture with multi-node and multi-service copies to ensure high availability.
