What is our primary use case?
BMC AMI Data is primarily used to increase data resiliency and availability, with the main focus on automating backup and recovery for business continuity.
We had multiple databases across multiple servers and critical backups required for all databases. This has been automated so that backups are taken automatically, and whenever restoration is required, the automated process handles that as well. During DR and BCP scenarios, the restoration is used for testing.
BMC AMI Data enabled automation of everything required from day one. No manual backups were taken, and as soon as new servers and databases were spun up, automation was set up from day one.
What is most valuable?
The best features of BMC AMI Data are automated backups and recovery, and during business continuity, restoration was easy to implement.
These automated backup and recovery features work reliably and are easy to use for the team. The backup process was straightforward, and backup and recovery operations were simple to execute.
BMC AMI Data has positively impacted the organization because it saved time and reduced errors. Since multiple servers require backups, the backup process is very easy. Monitoring is straightforward, and if any backup fails, fixes can be implemented very easily.
What needs improvement?
BMC AMI Data could be improved in backup timing, as it should be faster compared to the current situation.
