Customers can download the
StorageCare Guardian
agent software
from
http://www.quantum.com/guardiandownload.

Customer installs the
StorageCare Guardian
agent on any Windows
2000/2003/XP or Solaris 8/9 server located at the customer’s site.

The
StorageCare Guardian
agent monitors Quantum products, and
provides information and updates to the Quantum Enterprise Server
that resides at Quantum Support.

If an error or problem is detected, Quantum queues a request to the
StorageCare Guardian
agent for data collection or real-time access to
the system.
5
The
StorageCare Guardian
agent checks access policy settings to
determine if access is allowed.

If approved, the information is transferred to Quantum, or a remote
connection is initiated.

Quantum Support will diagnose the problem and, if necessary, send
the needed parts and/or field personnel to resolve the issue.
