Product capabilities and integration benefits

The integration of Data Protector and Service Information Portal (SIP) assists Service
Level Management (SLM) to help you achieve a specific, consistent and measurable
level of service. It provides a simple, effective way for the following:
• Convenient data protection service monitoring through web access from any
machine.
• Specification of resource in terms of machine and group names.
• Segmentation of accessible data by different backup administrators.
• Information aggregation from other services (not related to Data Protector) to the
portal, using SIP's configuration mechanisms. Single presentation format for all
modules.
• Easy configuration: GUI configuration editor and XML document editing only.
• Stability and reliability. The integration modifies very little code and relies upon
SIP customization features and components.
The integration consists of two main elements:
• The Data Protector Integration module, installed on the SIP server or a separate
web server.
The module's components are automatically installed with SIP, and are on your
SIP web server or on a separate web server, depending on your deployment.
The module consists of two primary elements:
• SIP components, including SIP XML, XSL, and module definitions.
