Eliminating Backup Contention

previous | next

Are your nightly backup jobs contending for SAN and network resources, causing I/O performance problems or errors? Would you like to see a calendar with all backup jobs across your enterprise that write to a SAN in one view, and eliminate any contention with just a few clicks?

SQL Sentry Event Manager provides a revolutionary new feature which lets you do just that -- Custom Event Views. To get you up and running quickly, Event Manager ships with some pre-configured sample views for various compressed backup systems. The focus of this article will be to show you how to easily configure and use a sample view to "level" your job schedules across a SAN.

Sample views can be easily modified to further restrict event instances shown to only those utilizing the same "shared resource", such as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) or SAN (Storage Area Network) device, or even a network segment.
