PATROL® for Nishan IP Storage Switches
Business Challenge
Nishan IP Storage Switches are high performance and availability storage devices that also offer many configuration options. It is important to modify configurations and throughput and ensure the deviceā??s health. But this can be difficult to accomplish without automated tools. As capacity increases or storage is added, it becomes even more critical to ensure the device is online and performing.
Business Need
- Simplify device management and centralize storage management by combining storage data and tasks
- Ensure availability, optimize performance and automate maintenance of network storage devices
- Monitor, expose, and manage key environmental and performance data points to avoid system downtime
- Isolate and resolve device problems quickly and automatically with minimal manual intervention
- Guarantee applicationsā?? service levels and access by identifying device-related events and alerts
Our Solution
PATROL for Nishan IP Storage Switches uses the application programming interface (API) to gather performance, configuration, and device status and event data along with SNMP traps to ensure that the device is online and performing optimally. You can also view environmental data inside the device, and a variety of capacity and performance metrics to effectively configure and manage Nishan devices.
Key Features & Benefits
- Centralizes and simplifies device management through detailed topology mapping and reporting of discovered devices and their interconnections
- Optimizes storage configurations by proactively tracking and reporting detailed environmental, performance and capacity metrics for storage devices
- Manages costs associated with storage devices through predefined, vendor-specific and customized historical application-to-storage device reporting
- Expedites problem resolution through a centralized GUI-interface menu, user-defined thresholds and drill-down capabilities into the device
- Ensures applications are online and performing by automatically detecting and resolving device-related events and alerts
- Maintains rapid data access without interruption by consolidating critical device- and application-specific event, performance and capacity data
