The number and types of storage devices keep increasing as the organization and its number of workforce increases. It is said that in a year the storage administrator will roughly add 52% more storage and refresh 38% of the current infrastructure (source: SNIA S10-200). Before you know it, the organization will have myriad vendor devices and keeping everything centralized, organized and running in perfect order will prove to be a gargantuan task.
OpStor is a storage management tool that supports management of multi-vendor SAN Switches, RAID, Tape Libraries, Host Servers and HBAs. Apart from the instantaneous reports on performance and availability of each device on the storage network, important statistics such as Mean Time Between Failures over a monthly/weekly/daily time period keep the Storage Manager aware of his team’s effectiveness in achieving minimum downtime.
The Events and Alarm notifications in OpStor allow for easy strategizing & assigning of Storage faults. Each alarm is acknowledged by an administrator who can then see to the problem, add notes for future reference and then change severity of the alarm once corrective action is taken. Unattended alarms for each device type can be escalated to email addresses. Daily and weekly critical alarm reports are scheduled and emailed for offline record and analysis. Problem tickets for each device can also be provided through the OpStor Web Interface so as to have appropriate action be taken to resolve faults.
