DownloadIC-MoRe monitors your virtual IT infrastructure to ensure that processes run correctly within the virtualized server farm. IC-MoRe is the central event system that informs administrators of any irregularities originating from the virtual environment. It does this by keeping a constant eye on the status of ESX / XenServers, storage and virtual machines. The event system reports important incidents via e-mail and systems management messages.
Monitoring snapshots via Host, VCB, VADP and IC Server
Administrators are often surprised by finding that a backup process has not been fully completed - for example when they discover that a previous snapshot was not deleted from the system until the next backup takes place. In these cases the snapshot was not committed. If there is not enough storage, this can result in a complete loss of data the next time a backup is performed during operation.
IC-MoRe warns the administrator directly via e-mail or systems management whenever the system fails to commit a snapshot. Snapshots that are performed via the host, VCB and IC server are displayed on the screen.
Ensuring there is always plenty of storage reserves in the SAN
In the worst case, a total loss of data can also threaten operations if the archive capacity of the SAN/LUNs is depleted during backup.
IC-MoRe sends a report whenever a threshold is reached that results in an event of relevance for the server farm that could restrict or interrupt the virtual farm’s operations. IC-MoRe warns the SAN administrator directly via e-mail or by way of systems management information whenever SAN/LUN storage reserves become low in order to counteract storage bottlenecks in time.
Reports for selectable events - SMTP and SNMP
In IC-MoRe administrators can configure which selected events they would like to be notified of. IT managers receive the event reports via e-mail or as network management information from the systems management program. IC-MoRe can send reports via both standard routes – SMTP and SNMP. Another feature IC-MoRe offers is SMTP authentication.
Committing takes place automatically
Complement your backup and disaster recovery concept and let IC-MoRe and IC-CIDeR do the work:
If IC-MoRe sends a message that SAN/LUN storage capacity is reaching its threshold, IC-CIDeR – the IC module for backup, restore and disaster recovery – automatically interrupts the ongoing backup process and begins committing snapshots. Thereby, data loss due to insufficent storage capacity is prevented early.
Detailed Reports of Backup Processes
IC-MoRe professionally supports administrators by their daily work. Detailled reports about throughput rates during backup processes, backup times, assignments of VMs to certain groups, and much more help to keep the entire overview over the virtual IT infrastructure and to define the best suited backup paths and destinations.
Investment protection for your systems management
Users are ready to invest increasingly in systems management to monitor and at least to optimize IT processes. IT departments endeavour to run systems management solutions efficiently and across-the-programs. In connection the reporting about the physical and virtual data center operation is meant to feed one central systems management solution.
With IC-MoRe administrators can manage reporting centrally via systems management. This enables them to configure reporting events in a much more fine-tuned and flexible manner with regard to hours, time of day, areas of responsibility and message formats.
