The benefits of a global namespace are clear and compelling: Users (and applications) are
shielded from physical storage compl
exities. Administrators can add, move, rebalance and
reconfigure physical storage without affecting how users view and access it. And it provides a
platform for developing functions such as data migration, server consolidation and disaster
recovery.
Enhan
cements in release 5.0 include byte
-
level file differential replication, which avoids
replicating entire files that tax WAN bandwidth and storage capacity; policy
-
based provisioning;
integration with Network Appliance's NearStore for disaster recovery purp
oses; and the ability to
create a tiered architecture.
"StorageX solves an important NAS management problem," said one judge. "By pooling NAS
filers into a single image, it greatly reduces management disruptions and cost."
BRONZE:
Softek's Performance Tuner
1.1
Performance Tuner, from Softek
Storage Sol
utions Inc., Vienna,
VA., identifies existing, as well
as potential, storage bottlenecks
and component failures.
However, it adds a new
capability not commonly found
in storage resource
management (SRM) suites
--
storage admins can analyze
whether metrics ar
e related.
For instance, they can
analyze whether problems on a database server are connected to the saturation of an ISL in their
SAN environment.
The ability to look at any two devices and see if there is a causal effect of one on the performance
of the
other is a unique feature. It's also one that puts users in a position to take an active
management role in tuning the performance of the storage network supporting their critical
applications.
Softek's Performance Tuner can spot existing and potential bottlenecks.
