Storage Management
SANRAD enables the unified management of all storage assets to allocate capacities, control quality of service and monitor performance across storage enclosures from the network.
IP Storage Networks Management
Matching application needs with storage resources is critical for effective application operation. Insufficient resources cause application failure, while overcompensating by adding too much storage capacity is expensive.
SANRAD IP-SANs enable precise management of storage resources across enclosures, driving application performance while maximizing resource utilization. By migrating volume management services to the network, SANRAD affords full visibility of application needs and storage resources across servers and storage systems, centralizing and simplifying provisioning:
- SANRAD pools and provisions storage across enclosures. SANRAD’s volume spanning, resizing and striping enable custom volume creation to address specific application requirements. Volumes are created independent of physical disks or enclosures, enabling dynamic resource allocation to meet application server demands.
- SANRAD maximizes spare management and optimizes resources for 90% capacity utilization.
- SANRAD enables centralized resource provisioning from the network eliminating the need to purchase, install and manage agents on every server, cutting IT overhead.
- SANRAD multi-pathing and advanced traffic management boosts block-based read/write speeds to storage. SANRAD load balancing allows data to be read across mirrored copies accelerating data retrieval for fast response times.
