WysDM For Disks

IT managers are plagued by rapid and continual storage growth, inefficient storage utilization and time-consuming management techniques. The lack of consolidated reporting tools means that storage wastage is rife, with issues such as storage that is never allocated, allocated but never used, or no longer used but not deallocated correctly. In addition, the scale and complexity of the environment means that it is not possible for humans, however skilled, to be able to monitor all of the operations of the storage environment and find problems such as subtle configuration errors or utilization imbalances. Finally, there is the constand demand to do more with constrained budgets. Already understaffed, storage teams need to find ways to work smarter while simultaneously reducing capital and operating budgets.

WysDM for Disks provides the visibility required to understand even the largest and most complex disk array environments. WysDM for Disks obtains information from ECC, using existing deployments to dramatically lower the cost and time to deploy. Reports are available on array configuration, LUN mapping, port allocations and more. All reports can be published to an intranet or sent directly via email to interested users. In addition, any information from a report can be analyzed for user-defined conditions (For example, LUN created but not mapped to end port), with resultant alerts sent via email or SNMP to the appropriate parties.
