How It Works

STORServer Reporter provides valuable feedback on the performance and usage of

your TSM Server

Live data collection captures data from your TSM servers

Historical TSM data is warehoused in a dedicated database

Data warehouse is mined to generate reports and valuable system alerts

Production TSM servers are not impacted because SSR uses its own database

Provides a complete backup status view to confirm SLA and regulatory compliance
