SAN Resource Management
Fabric Analytics

SAN Resource Manager
as a Service

Vendor independent SAN Performance metrics across Brocade, Cisco fabrics and storage systems for both enterprise and virtualised SAN environments.

Fabric Health Checks

Fabric Diagnostics & Monthly Health Checks

Monthly Health Checks provide statistical measurements of SAN performance and storage utilisation for trend analysis and accurate comparisons of SAN utilisation and growth for capacity planning.

SAN RM is an easy-to-use intuitive software solution that enables the user to diagnose issues quickly, with an at-a-glance dashboard for important metrics and user information.

Optimized Transaction Paths

Ensure SAN transaction paths supporting key applications are operating optimally, free of error, and have the capacity to support growing needs.

Config Imports & Validation

Switch Configuration & Data Migration Service

Data Migration Service. SAN RM collects all the switch configuration settings and automatically imports those configuration settings into the new Cisco or Brocade switches.

The Migration Service includes benchmarking the SAN performance before beginning the migration, performance reviews at each stage during the migration and upon completion to guarantee that transaction paths support key applications optimally.
