The following features are available with the Phoenix Cloud Update. A. User Interface Enhancements Phoenix provides an intuitive, consistent, and improved first-user experience on the Phoenix Management Console. The key UI enhancements include the following: * Site references on the Phoenix Management Console are renamed to Organization. Administrators generally associated the word site with geographical location instead of an access-based control mechanism for strict partitioning of entities such as servers, server groups, backup policies and so on, resulting in the incorrect configurations. To avoid location connotation that is associated with sites, Site is renamed to Organization as listed below: - Site is renamed to Organization - Sites is renamed to Organizations - Site administrator is renamed to Organization administrator - All Sites in the main navigation menu bar is renamed to All Organizations * Improved Global and Organization dashboards * The Summary tab on the Global and Organization dashboards has introduced the Total Snapshots field that provides statistics of the committed Restore Points. With a single-click on the statistics displayed on graphs and maps, you can now view detailed configuration information about servers, virtual machines, and so on. You no longer need to navigate through multiple pages to view configuration details. * Enhanced first-time landing pages for Organization, Servers, VMware, CloudCache, and Disaster Recovery These first-time landing pages now display enhanced workflow diagrams to help you understand the Phoenix components. * You can now sort jobs, configured servers, configured virtual machines, and alerts based on job ID, start time, job status, last backup status, and so on. * You can now hover on the error codes on the Jobs page and directly view error messages.
