| CommVault's New Storage Resource Management Software CommVault has announced the availability of QiNetix StorageManager (QSM), Version 6.1 software with support for Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies. This solution helps administrators monitor data growth, manage resource utilization and reduce costs in environments that would traditionally rely on manual collection and analysis of data from disparate data sources. QSM 6.1 improves the management of application and file system data in primary storage for heterogeneous storage environments, including installations running Novell NetWare, Microsoft Windows, Linux and UNIX. QSM, a component of the QiNetix 6.1 Unified Data Management suite, is an application-aware SRM solution that provides simplified resource monitoring and management for heterogeneous storage environments. As an entry point to the QiNetix 6.1 suite, or as a hardware-independent stand-alone SRM tool, QSM 6.1 simplifies analysis of primary storage utilization for enterprise applications and file systems. For administrators seeking to improve storage availability and capacity management, QSM provides file system-level resource management of Windows Server environments, NetWare, Linux, UNIX and NAS volumes, and application-level management of Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SharePoint Technologies, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle databases. Users with high disk utilization can easily identify files for deletion or migration to secondary storage. Users experiencing server downtime will benefit from automated alert notification. Storage managers can use QSM to gain visibility into historical storage use and future trends, improve budgeting, monitor resource utilization, institute chargebacks and identify storage assets for reclamation. QSM 6.1 Storage Resource Management allows administrators to: - Identify the location and owner of old, large, and prohibited file types - Improve budgeting and resource utilization by improved understanding of where data resides and the underlying cost of managing that data - Accurately forecast and provision storage by projecting future requirements - Identify stale and untouched data for migration to secondary storage - Monitor storage growth trends by resource and application - Reclaim underutilized storage resources. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
