Automatically discover network storage devices including new and unknown devices. Also, discover the most important things about the devices. Capacity. Performance. Determine how much capacity is consumed for selected files and file types, and other file usage information.
Observe reports on capacity and performance. Ensure that you are not
headed for capacity or performance problems.
Automatically monitor capacity and performance with alerts to avoid potential
problems.
Alerts can trigger customized and scriptable actions for problem
resolution – and to minimize operator intervention. Maestro™ provides a
global namespace to clients – allowing any client to access any file for which
it
is authorized. The Maestro File Manager™ supports global snapshots
across
the entire namespace
Auto-rebalance storage volumes for efficiency and cost effectiveness.
The Maestro IQ Script Engine™ automates ILM, overcapacity situations, data migration, and much more. Solutions can be fully customized based on data center policies and regulatory requirements. Burdensome and error-prone tasks can be scripted and fully automated – saving on labor costs, and the costs associated with human error. In addition, NDMP-powered multi-vendor backup environments can be operated with substantially lower cost. Maestro™ is compatible with leading DMA products. As a network file gateway, NFS clients can store files on Windows Storage Servers, or, any CIFS compliant storage server. Custom storage pools are easily created and visible to all clients through a global namespace. This enables comprehensive enterprise search, central virus scans, and data center-wide enforcement of policies and regulatory requirements. The resiliency and availability of any storage pool can be optimized to address application requirements.
