Scholastic Chooses Servergraph/TSM® for Reliable Backups

Servergraph and More Group Inc. deliver solid ROI.

Austin, TX February 18, 2004 -- Servergraph announced today that Scholastic, Inc., the world’s largest publisher and distributor of children’s books, has chosen Servergraph/TSM® to dramatically improve data backup reliability. Servergraph has joined forces with More Group Inc. to bring automated management and improved reliability to Scholastic’s Tivoli Storage Manager data backup environment.

Servergraph/TSM® is agentless reporting and analysis software that pays for itself in three to six months, according to Don Becker, vice president of sales for Servergraph. “Servergraph/TSM® spots trends well in advance before problems occur, allowing users to take action and realign system resources,” said Becker. “Successful enterprise backup requires the correct operation of networks, storage servers, disk arrays, tape libraries, and human intervention. Servergraph/TSM® helps our customers manage the entire system proactively to achieve 100 percent backup success.”

More Group Inc. has become the latest reseller of Servergraph products and services. More Group Inc. provides storage integration solutions that include backup and recovery, data management, tape management services, media sales and maintenance support contracts to companies in North America.

“We view Servergraph/TSM® as a unique value-add that we can bring to our customers,” said Russell Neale, vice president of business development at More Group Inc. The information provided by this tool “allows us to advise our customers on how to align resources to get the most value of the hardware and software that they have today, and what to purchase well in advance of when they will need it,” he said.

Scholastic, Inc. recently benefited from the partnership of More Group Inc. and Servergraph. “We needed a product to help us manage our TSM environment and we were advised by More Group to evaluate Servergraph/TSM®,“ said John Kitchens, manager of computer operations and product control for Scholastic.

“Servergraph/TSM® immediately saved us time and hardware resources,” said Kitchens. “In addition to reporting, alerts, and rapid problem isolation, we now have an automatic system that notifies us of issues before they become a problem. We highly recommend Servergraph/TSM® to others who want to improve their TSM environment."
