Storage Virtualization Manager (SVM)
The Challenge:
- Avoid adding more storage each time a new server is added.
- Reduce the complexity and cost of managing hundreds or thousands of
Volumes and LUNs.
- Prevent application downtime due to out-of-space conditions.
- Optimize storage utilization and reclaim unused capacity by eliminating
“over-allocation” of storage to servers.
- Respond faster to storage change requests.
The Solution:
Use StoreAge SVM storage management solutions to dynamically provision
storage, reclaim unused space, maximize application uptime by expanding
capacity on a just-in-time basis, and centrally manage all storage in
a uniform manner.
The Benefits:
Centralizing storage management benefits an organization in multiple areas,
including:
Business Impact:
- Flexible, adaptive infrastructure enables faster responses to changing
business conditions
- Maximizes application availability for revenue-producing activities
Operational Impact:
- Prevents server downtime due to out-of-space conditions
- Reduces the time needed to respond to storage change requests
- Enables existing storage resources to support additional servers, applications
and users
- Increases the amount of storage each administrator can manage
- Reduces administrative errors by using one management console for all
storage devices
Financial Impact:
- Reduces storage costs
- Reclaims unused storage capacity
- Eliminates “over allocation” of server capacity
- Avoids adding more storage each time a new server is added
Centralized Storage Management With StoreAge SVM...
- Aggregates all available capacity into centrally managed pools
- Allocates appropriately-sized Volumes to each server
- Unused capacity remains in the pool for future requirements
- Additional capacity is dynamically and granularly allocated to any server
on a just-in-time basis
- Supports all major operating systems and storage devices
