BMC Software, Inc. extended the compatibility and management reach of its SQL-BackTrack database backup and recovery offering on Monday by unveiling interoperability with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager.
Customers of Houston, Tex.-based BMC Software will benefit from the tight integration through accelerated application deployment and testing thanks to SQL-BackTracks new Ready for IBM Tivoli software program designation, noted William Donahoo, BMCs director of business development.
According to company officials, other recovery features of the package include automated recovery execution and a reduction in storage administration intervention. It also supports cross-implementation of expiration policies and can locate backup assets as well as mount tapes using robotic tape devices.
The systems management software provider in March announced a similar deal with Veritas Software Corp. of Mountain View, Calif., to marry SQL-BackTrack with Veritas NetBackup product.
Donahoo said BMC is still seeking backup software maker Legato System, Inc.s integration endorsement of SQL-BackTrack. BMC currently supports Legatos Networker data protection offering, however, it has yet to create an integration bridge. EMC acquired Legato for $1.3 billion in stock in July.
SQL-BackTrack supports automated backup and recovery of Oracle, IBM DB2 Universal Database, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase and Informix databases.
