CTSDTS makes use of CA iSponsor/iGateway technology developed for the BrightStor Portal product to retrieve the data from the remote backup servers over TCP/IP. iSponsors are hosted by the iGateway that resides on the target server. The iGateway is a layer of software that communicates with the IP stack to receive and respond to requests for iSponsors.
The iSponsors themselves are applets consisting of multiple "methods" that will extract data from the server and transmit this data over the iGateway to the requestor. Each "method" belonging to a particular iSponsor provides a unique view of the backup server's database.
For each supported distributed backup product, there is at least one iSponsor. For certain supported products, there are multiple iSponsors, one for each supported release. In order to retrieve data from a remote backup server, two components must be installed on each remote server to be accessed: the iGateway and the appropriate iSponsor. iSponsors and iGateway components may be downloaded free of charge from :http//ca.com/support. Refer to the Product Home Page for BrightStor Portal for further information on iSponsor/iGateway technology.
