IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center MDM infrastructure and environment

The IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center provides an integration point for storage management and replication.

Storage administrators can use the Productivity Center interface to launch IBM TotalStorage Open Software Family products, which can help to support managing the storage volume life cycle, device configuration, performance, replication, storage network fabric, zoning, topology, alerts, data backup, data availability, and data recovery, as well as enterprise policies for managing host, application, database, and file system data. The Productivity Center interface is designed to simplify storage administration by providing a task-based organization to the broad range of capability available with the TotalStorage Open Software Family products.
