ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser ： Overview
Advanced management and stable operation for all storage systems.
ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser provides versatile management features for configuration, troubleshooting, performance and correlation.
ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser simplifies setup of Disk storage systems and the management of ETERNUS storage environments. Its ability to manipulate complex storage configurations and settings, via a user friendly graphical interface, enables you to implement storage environments with ease and without high-level skills. Once operational ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser supports stable system operation by providing centralized management for the entire storage environment, including servers and Fibre Channel switches. ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser also provides storage system lifecycle functions, from configuration to maintenance. The resulting improved availability and stable operation will reduce your operation management costs, support Green IT and enable implementation of virtualized IT systems.
| Main features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Start with a small storage system (Thin Provisioning) | |
| - Allocating full capacity disk space to servers with limited physical disk capacity. On demand physical disk supplement. - Visualization and threshold monitoring provides presumption of physical disk supplement and prevents physical disk shortage. |
- Flexible investment, pay as customer needs - Green IT, reduces power consumption - Reduces CAPEX and OPEX |
| Device configuration and resource relationship visualization | |
| - Visualization the relationship each elements, such as applications to storage systems, which compose customers business - Downloadable configuration information helps to check and compare current and planned configuration |
- Faster and safer system expansion and failure recovery - Reduces administrator's l load and required his/her skills |
| Power saving storage | |
| - Stop disks rotation when not in use - Visualization of power consumption and temperature |
- Green IT, reduces power consumption - Reduces OPEX |
| Understanding performance bottlenecks | |
| - Visualization of historical performance of disk storage systems and fibre channel switches - Provides workload conditions, bottlenecks and alarm with the threshold setting |
- Prevent performance problem - Sustain high quality service level - Enables to optimize system resources |
| SAN management for the entire storage system | |
| - Visualization of physical connection for each storage systems and servers including VM guest level - Configuration of logical connection of servers, FC switches and storage systems |
- Faster and safer system expansion - Reduces administrator's load and required his/her skills |
| Optimization Option enables Automated Storage Tiering | |
| -Automated data movement to appropriate drive through policy-based profiles. | -Performance improvement -Reduce administrator's load and CAPEX |
