Compaq SANworks Storage Resource Manager 4.0

Compaq SANworks Storage Resource Manager 4.0 ... IBM AIX, and Red Hat Linux environments. Desktop productivity, file sharing, messaging, e-commerce, data mining, and the Internet are converging to create the heaviest demand for storage in history. The average IT department now spends half its budget on storage-related purchases. With storage playing an expanding role in IT infrastructures, IT managers are realizing that proactive storage resource management is needed to ensure availability, increase planning accuracy, and control costs. Unfortunately, monitoring, correlating, and trending statistics from all physical storage resources (disk, RAID) and logical storage resources (partitions, file systems, directories, users) in today's enterprise networks is not possible without an automated solution.

SANworks Storage Resource Manager is a market-leading reporting and event management solution that provides IT managers with storage data analysis to detect trends, foresee problems and balance resources by providing automated reporting on storage capacity, consumption, and availability. It automatically scans the enterprise storage topology and collects capacity, consumption, availability, and configuration statistics. It then correlates the data in a Microsoft SQL Server database, and provides out-of-the-box alerts, reports, historical trends, and policies that enable easy, efficient problem detection and correction. Out-of-the-box storage graphs and historical trends provide the knowledge needed to accurately plan for growth, avoid down time, and justify storage capacity.
