Health Review for TSM

Even the most senior TSM administrators struggle to cope with failed backup and recovery windows, lost backup data, tape system and tape drive issues, plus a host of configuration and storage management issues.

Lighthouse, which has been installing and servicing TSM environments throughout the Northeast for over 10 years, listened to its customers and decided to do something to help them better manage and maintain TSM. The result is the Lighthouse TSM Health Review—a tools-assisted service designed to help businesses diagnose, repair and optimize their TSM environments quickly and cost-effectively.

During a TSM Health Review, Lighthouse TSM consultants visit your site, perform interviews with your technical personnel, and inspect the processes of your TSM servers with the help of Health Review tools. The consultants then analyze the TSM data and develop in-depth findings, analysis and recommendations related to TSM’s operational environment. These may involve data and database backup, retrieval, archival, migration, reclamation, storage pool design, error analysis, and policies and procedures.

For businesses interested in an in-depth analysis of their backup/storage infrastructure associated with TSM, Lighthouse offers TSM Assessments. Lighthouse consultants will develop a comprehensive roadmap of your current and projected backup/storage needs, as well as the best practices for implementing such an infrastructure.

To this end, Lighthouse consultants will study your current backup servers, tape drives, tape libraries, storage Backup/Storage Assessment for TSM systems, and all other associated hardware and software.

This information will be developed into a formal assessment report, and will include findings, analysis, recommendations and pricing information.
