Comprehensive Discovery
OpStor auto-discovers storage devices periodically and/or on-demand and
maintains the inventory up-to-date. In-band, out-of-band, SNMP, and
vendor-specific algorithms are used for discovery. Deep discovery enables drill
down capability to specific attributes. Administrator can add new devices for
discovery at runtime.
Visualization
Topological map represents storage devices, host servers, and their
interconnections in the network.
The map icons and links are color-coded to show the current
status of the devices and connections. Each device in the map can be
drilled-down to view the sub-map and the device properties.
Alarm Management
Alarms indicate the health of the storage infrastructure. Graphs and tables
depict consolidated alarm information.
Alarm details view shows the alarm source, last modified time,
owner, event history, annotations, and other notes. Critical alarms can be
escalated in the form of email and SMS messages, which can be attended to
immediately.
Business Reporting
A rich set of business centric reports provides IT managers a holistic view of
the storage infrastructure. At-A-Glance reports on performance and availability;
Summary reports on vendor, alarm, location, & trouble tickets; and Top N
performance and availability reports help IT personnel to analyze trends,
utilization, and plan for future requirements.
Asset Management
OpStor’s device inventory maintains up-to-date information on all the storage
device in the network. Administrators can populate deployment information such
as device location, vendor details, and technical support info (name, email,
phone, address) for each of the devices. Trouble ticket history is also
maintained against each device for future reference and analysis.
Administration
A simple, web-based user interface allows administrators to configure OpStor for
user access permissions, database maintenance, discovery control, and alarm
escalation policies. Admin options are visible only to the admin group users and
remain hidden for other users.
