In today’s tough economic conditions, IT budgets are decreasing and headcounts are freezing while data keeps skyrocketing. Without a clear understanding of what storage resources are being used by each individual, department or application, IT cannot optimize storage management and usage, reduce excess storage purchasing, or deliver improved business performance. The key is to build a strategy around a solid foundation that provides integrated data reporting and predictive capabilities to improve efficiencies and reduce risk.

• Simpana® Storage Manager for resource, application and file system analysis of data residing on primary storage
• CommNet™ Service Manager for enterprise-wide monitoring and analysis of primary storage utilization and secondary storage operations

Storage Manager provides insight into data on primary storage through discovery, trending and analysis. The true value lies in Storage Manager’s ability to improve storage utilization, identify assets and increase visibility into data growth. CommNet provides consolidated monitoring and analysis of CommVault-managed data movement operations across one or more locations.
