You can automate functions such as backup copy, data restoration and archiving, all these by centralizing the data management operations.

You have to validate whether two important files do exist and/ or are saved as recently as possible: devconfig and volhist. They must be copied on the same location of the TSM server configuration file dsmserv.opt; in addition, also there must be a recent backup copy of the TSM database.

Backup and recovery copy infrastructure costs are reduced up to 38%.

Cloud computing is a computing strategy that leverages the efficient creation of shared-resource repositories of self-managed and on-demand virtual infrastructure consumed as a service. Sometimes, it is also known as cloud computing (utility computing).

Clouds provide a set of computers, normally virtualized, that can offer users the capacity to start and stop servers, or use processing cycles only when needed, typically paying only for the resources consumed.

Distributed Resource Scheduler automatically balances the processing load amongst all ESXi hosts in a resource cluster.

This process guarantees that virtual machines and the hosts operate at maximum efficiency.

VMware vSphere® vMotion® enables live migration of virtual machines in execution from a physical server to another without downtime, with constant service availability and integrity of the whole transaction.

vMotion allows creating a dynamic, automated and autonomous-optimization datacenter.
