Maximize storage utilization and minmize IT administration
StorView is Xyratex’s premier storage management software for maximizing storage utilization and minimizing IT administration of Xyratex RAID storage.
Designed to provide ease of use management and flexible configuration, StorView enables businesses to increase their overall return on investment by:
- Improving storage utilization
- Minimizing storage management administration
- Planning for capacity and performance
- Easy diagnosis of RAID problems
A debug capture feature collects RAID state information and packages it up for transmission and diagnosis by certified technicians for easy problem determination. Dynamic provisioning offers the ability to expand an array or logical drive without experiencing downtime. The SAN LUN Mapping feature simplifies mapping a LUN to a host, shows hosts and storage physical connections graphically and provides easy reconfiguration as storage environments change. The graphical interface and consolidated toolbar deliver easy navigation and physical views of arrays, LUNs, servers, host connections and their configuration. StorView requires minimal storage experience to start configuring, monitoring, and managing Xyratex RAID.
