IC - Modules at a glance

ModulePerformance description
IC-CIDeR... stands for flexible backups, efficient restore and reliable disaster recovery. Completely connected to TSM and HP Data Protector.
Centralized Infrastructure Disaster Recovery

IC-CIDeR backs up entire virtual systems during operation and offers automated, flexible backups with one click. Take advantage of image backups processed according to a schedule and compressible directly on tape (e.g. with Tivoli Storage Manager) and manage your virtual world by means of differentials and backup generations at an affordable price. Including VCB support.

IC-MoRe... informs and reports about relevant events in your virtual world.
Monitoring and Reporting

IC-MoRe monitors the status oft he ESX / XenServers and the virtual machines. The administrator is informed immediately whenever a threshold is reached (e.g. the drive has run out of space) or an event occurs (e.g. VM is in snapshot mode).

IC-PreCog... stands for zero downtime of your virtual infrastructure and highest availability of your services and applications.
Precognition

After having received the detection and evaluation of critical events by system management solutions, IC-PreCog shifts affected virtual machines prematurely and automatically onto other ESX / XenServers. Even the entire virtual server farm can be shifted to to the backup data center – all that during operation. The overall stability of the systems is increased to the maximum since no downtime influences the operation of the guest systems..

IC-RICS... secures high availability on a sophisticated level.
Reliable Infrastructure Cluster Services

IC-RICS monitors VMware ESX / Citrix XenServers and their virtual machines in the server farm together with VMware vCenter / Citrix XenCenter. IC-RICS increases the availability for all guest systems supported by VMware / Citrix on ESX / XenServers:In case of one or more ESX / XenServer failure, IC-RICS restarts the VMs on the hosts that are still running, making applications and appliances available again after only a short period.

IC-SchED... allows to integrate backup processes into global scheduling solutions and starts and distributes virtual machines according to a predefined pattern and schedule.
Job Control

IC-SchED makes it possible to integrate all backup processes into global scheduling solutions - so you can even schedule backup jobs of mixed environments (VMware & XenServer). In addition, IC-SchED allows you to define workload profile processing event-controlled and according to a schedule. IC-SchED simplifies significantly the planning and management of server capacity utilization. It enables an automated increase in ESX / XenServer capacity for maintenance purposes, for example.
