As networks grow, enterprises face the constant challenge of controlling costs while maintaining maximum storage network efficiency. To get the most from IT infrastructure investments, a detailed understanding of the enterprise storage network's make up and utilization is imperative. Atempo's Storage Assessor service assists enterprise customers in this mandate by delivering quantitative descriptions of the storage network's assets, displayed in easy-to-read graphs.
"Storage Assessor gives customers a quick and clear window into their IT environments that allows them to make better, ROI-based decisions, as well as quickly and accurately accomplish what too often has been a manual, cumbersome and error-prone process," said Atempo President and CEO Thierry Flajoliet. "Used consistently on a periodic basis, this new service helps assure enterprises of maintaining peak performance and asset utilization throughout the storage network."
Atempo's Storage Assessor service catalogs data-storage assets and reviews capacity utilization, letting IT managers understand storage usage by server, database, application, location and user. This enables managers to preempt potential storage problems while providing the insightful analysis needed for long-term system planning.
The assessment also delivers a unique ability to surgically gather information on complex storage objects and evaluate potential supporting strategies such as backup to disk, archiving policies, and disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) migration.
Atempo's storage assessment service provides a key building block for companies establishing data or information lifecycle management policies. Successful planning to manage data storage in a cost-efficient manner throughout the data's life cycle depends on a thorough and accurate understanding of the organization's data and infrastructure.
