Storage Assessment: Provides more than 70 pre-defined reports to provide accurate storage details for optimal results
Flexible Storage Management: Provides a wealth of reporting and filtering options to easily assess your current storage infrastructure, including distributed data collection, the ability to specify servers and volumes, the option to turn off collection of the ownership details, and the ability to schedule during off-peak hours
Enhanced Reporting: Includes a number of pre-defined reports to focus on identifying wasted space in the network—on an enterprise or server-by-server basis, like:
Storage Overview: Highlights the amount of potential wasted space in the enterprise and allows you to drill down into specific usages
Capacity Planning: Provides an enterprise view of storage growth and highlights areas of critical capacity
Storage Cleanup: Reports identify unused, duplicate, orphaned and inappropriate data to better prioritize which types of files and specific servers should be addressed first
Automated Data Management: Allows you to schedule data management tasks that automate the ongoing deletion, movement and archiving of network data based on criteria you set to simplify storage administration
Custom Reporting & Actionable Reports: Customize reports easily without the need for authoring tools. In addition you can quickly take actions from reports such as deleting duplicate data, setting ownership on orphaned files, or compress unused data
Data Collection: Performs fast, scalable data collection from a centralized console. Collections can be scheduled to take place at any time and interval, and report results can be viewed from a web browser – no client install required
Agentless Architecture with Small Footprint: Facilitates deployment in even the largest organizations with non-intrusive, agent-less architecture
