About the WysDM Data Protection Management (DPM) Software Suite

WysDM's DPM solutions feature business policy enforcement for meeting
service-level agreements, regulatory compliance, and internal best practices
requirements. The WysDM 4 suite of products includes:

-- WysDM for Backups, WysDM's flagship product, uses a patent-pending
       Cross-Domain Correlation(TM) technology to analyze information
       collected from all major components of the data protection 
       environment, including servers, storage, networks, and applications. 
       WysDM's Predictive Analysis Engine (PAE) integrates with existing
       infrastructure tools to provide automatic notification of performance
       problems, service-level agreement (SLA) violations, poorly optimized
       environments, risks associated with recovery time objectives, and 
       more. The PAE's unique ability allows the system to detect very subtle
       problems and inefficiencies, resulting in significant risk reduction
       and cost savings.
    -- The new WysDM for Disks, utilizes WysDM's DPM technology to provide
       configuration and status information for disk arrays, allowing storage
       administrators to manage utilization metrics, balance LUN allocations
       across array ports, and ensure fan-out ratios do not exceed vendors'
       specifications.
    -- WysDM for Fileservers provides the visibility required to understand
       large and complex fileserving environments. Utilizing the WysDM(R)
       adaptive architecture, WysDM for Fileservers provides comprehensive
       reporting and analysis on all aspects of fileserver operations,
       including hardware configuration, virtualization, snapshot management,
       and performance.
