Copy data management for NetApp ONTAPTM and VMware® environments

Maximize NetApp® and VMware® Investments with Catalogic® ECX™

Instant IT Visibility, Operational Insight and Business Control.

Users of NetApp Snapshot®, SnapVault®, SnapMirror® and SnapManager® products already realize the benefit of these array-based tools in providing fast, efficient data access. Additionally VMware has evolved IT with server virtualization technology that delivers unprecedented server scalability. Utilization of these tools contributes to the proliferation of data copies driving the requirement for a centralized data catalog.

Catalogic ECX fully complements NetApp ONTAP and VMware tools to provide comprehensive copy data management capabilities. ECX will catalog all files, snapshots, volumes, qtrees, LUNs and objects across your entire NetApp ONTAP and VMware environments allowing you to search, report, analyze and take action on information.

By cataloging all tiers of snapshots and the files within them, search tasks can be completed in seconds, stale or extra copies of data identified, orphaned VMs found, protection compliance validated, and much more.

Even if you have years of snapshots on disk, ECX will catalog all of them and give you a complete environment view ensuring efficient copy data management.
