SAN management
SAN management and storage resource management (SRM) encompass three key elements:
- Understanding what resources you have on your SAN and how they are connected to your key applications
- Monitoring the capacity, performance, and configuration of your SAN from a central console to prevent unwanted downtime
- Actively managing and provisioning your SAN to ensure business continuity and maximize intelligent consolidation
SGI InfiniteStorage solutions offer you a flexible platform for standards-based management of SAN, NAS, and DAS resources, helping you reduce the operational costs of storage administration and improve the performance, security, availability and utilization of your SAN-hosted applications.
