NetApp and Isilon server management

NetApp and EMC Isilon offer solutions to modernize and simplify data storage needs. Managing the file permissions manually for all users individually is not ideal as it is error-prone and time-consuming. ManageEngine ADManager Plus, an AD file server management solution, enables IT admins to manage and generate detailed reports on permissions, and access across multiple file servers including NetApp and Isilon servers. This tool eliminates the need to use native AD tools or PowerShell scripts as all the file server management operations can be executed from a centralized GUI-based console.
