Business Challenge
An effective storage management solution must include storage area networks (SANS), direct-attached storage and network-attached storage (NAS). While standards continue to evolve, today's SANs are typically managed separately, using different tools and utilities. This lack of central interfacing, monitoring, management, control and automation limits the ability to comprehensively manage storage.
Business Need
- Discover storage devices
- View the relationships of the interconnect through a topological view
- Generate reports on the performance and status of physical devices
Our Solution
BMC Performance Manager provides you with a centralized user interface that enables centralized administration of storage devices and processes across the network. BMC Performance Manager provides automatic storage device discovery to graphically present a topological view of the physical storage devices, as well as their connectivity relationships. Through a common console, you can easily manage heterogeneous SANs and devices from many different vendors.
Key Features & Benefits
- Lowers the total per-unit cost of storage ownership while increasing the reliability and availability of your data through centralized management
- Helps you map more objects within the storage network through expanded discovery capabilities
- Provides quicker access to information through the creation of custom groups
- Allows for a more accurate view of the environment through manual entry and editing of storage objects and properties
- Offers centralized management with topological and logical views of SANs, NAS and direct-attached storage
- Helps you solve problems more quickly by identifying problems within the storage network
- Manages and controls all hardware components in the storage network through centralized management
