The Prism product family includes Bocada Vision, Prism, and vpConnect. All of the software checks the health of devices and provides management for SLA, Policy, and Problem. Additionally, the software analyzes Datastore and Media Capacity and Chargeback and Audit reports. The programs use the same code base, so users can obtain a license key to obtain the features of a given Prism family product. Bocada’s market for the software family is customers not currently using the VM API specific functionality in their backup application.
