SANpulse Introduces SANatomy
The software provides structured reporting pertaining to SAN-based storage infrastructures. Reports include comprehensive storage infrastructure analysis for physical and virtual environments.
SANpulse Technologies Inc. announced SANatomy this week.
SANatomy is software for information-driven report automation that provides comprehensive storage infrastructure analysis for physical and virtual environments. SANpulse Technologies developed SANatomy to deliver “structured reporting on SAN-based storage infrastructures, enabling ongoing operational validation and delivering information necessary to speed storage optimization initiatives.”
According to SANpulse, SMBs’ risk of failure in moving or evolving a storage environment is very high. “Research has shown that typical storage migration and data center consolidation projects have a success rate of only 16 percent,” the company states in a press release submitted to EH Publishing. The company cites a lack of automation in the migration lifecycle as being key in that high level of risk.
The company developed SANatomy to reduce the risk of failure in data migration by automating the “decision support process” and delivering structured reporting “on all physical and virtual SAN-based storage components.”
“Well managed organizations have proactive infrastructure management teams that ensure risk aversion and successful planning and implementation of complex migrations and consolidations,” says Marie-Pierre Belanger, SANpulse’s vice president of product management. “Yet, typically, even the most sophisticated infrastructure teams still struggle with the time and expense required to transform data into structured, concise, and manageable information to make proactive decisions in their storage management lifecycle. SANatomy significantly reduces the time-to-decision cycle so that teams can mitigate risk and deliver new initiatives on time and within budget.”
SANatomy ties together interdependencies across the spectrum of components to provide the anatomy of an infrastructure through a cloud-based central repository. It “discovers and transforms” data from storage arrays, switches, and servers, providing organized reports about at-risk, available, and used storage. It also provides data relevant to the number of assets, storage overhead, and more. The solution supports single vendor multi-version and heterogeneous environments without agents.
SANatomy is now available for environments of 50 to more than 500 servers. Pricing starts at $22,000 for environments having fewer than 250 servers. Organizations can access SANatomy on a subscription basis at only $1,000 per month for infrastructures with 250 servers or less.
