Overseeing a disaster recovery solution across multiple clients or sites has no shortage of challenges.
Full visibility into the status of backup jobs and tools to make administration as easy as possible are critical to success. That’s where StorageCraft® ShadowControl® comes in.
ShadowControl delivers a central monitoring and management console for StorageCraft ShadowProtect® SPX, StorageCraft ShadowProtect, and StorageCraft ImageManager™ operations.
With complete visibility, you’ll gain peace of mind knowing your backup jobs are running smoothly and that you can remedy any issues before they affect business operations.
Features and benefits of ShadowControl
Push Install
Manage machine discovery, push installation, and license activations, all through your ShadowControl appliance console.
Hypervisor Integration
With an optional plugin, monitor and manage ShadowProtect backup jobs from within your VMware or Microsoft hypervisor.
Remote Monitoring
Know what’s going on with your backup jobs without needing to visit every endpoint in your organization.
Configurable Alerts
For the systems you monitor, define the rules that determine an endpoint’s status (Good, Warning, or Critical) and be alerted when a change occurs.
