The storage discovery and reporting technology automatically creates a detailed analysis of a company’s SAN estate and usage status. The reports are tailored to specific customer needs, offering an in-depth view of SAN deployment, capacity utilisation and comprehensive usage metrics. This analysis has the potential to greatly improve the cost efficiency of a SAN investment and provides companies with a real awareness of their storage status. Using the information generated by SAN Aware, companies can make accurate, cost-aware business decisions such as storage reclamation, decommissioning and buy back.
Uniquely, unlike traditional frame to host discovery, SAN Aware discovers from host to frame, providing the most accurate analysis of a storage estate. This vendor agnostic, multi-platform technology currently runs as a plug-in to BMC’s ADDM, with a standalone version as optional. Ideal for enterprises with a large SAN investment, such as banks, telcos and utilities, SAN Aware supports multi-tiered storage and the operator does not need privileged access or to be proficient in ADDM.
“Our technology enables businesses to attain a real understanding of their underlying storage estate, its configuration and usage. This visibility is not achievable through well-known SAN management software currently available in the marketplace today,” says Martin Sims, Mibtree’s chief technology officer. “This technology is invaluable to our customers because it identifies misconfiguration and inefficiencies allowing them to make significant cost savings. Organisations with large storage capacities can save millions of pounds a year with our solution.”
