Introduction

Global Dashboard is a user interface tool that provides you with a single network-based console from which you can monitor and report dashboard information for multiple Arcserve Backup domains across your enterprise. Arcserve Backup Dashboard displays a snapshot overview of the backup infrastructure and storage resource management (SRM) environment for just the Arcserve Backup primary server that you are connected to. Global Dashboard expands on this capability to let you quickly and easily view this dashboard information for multiple Arcserve Backup primary servers, both in your main office and in remote offices, all from a central location. This centralized monitoring capability through Global Dashboard means better information being reported on the performance and operation of your entire Arcserve Backup and SRM environment.

Remote office and branch office (ROBO) contain dashboard-related information for the individual branch primary server. Because such remote offices often have relatively limited on-site resources, ROBO may need to integrate the on-site dashboard information with those of the entire organization. Rather than attempting to monitor data at each site, Global Dashboard can synchronize this on-site data to let you remotely view dashboard information for any individual primary server (or group of primary servers) from a central location or provide a consolidated dashboard display of several primary servers. Global Dashboard can display consolidated reports for all branches, a customized group of branches, or a single branch.
