SANscreen takes Gold in Storage Management for its innovation, performance and ease of use
BOSTON -- Onaro, Inc., the pioneer of Change Management software for storage networks, announced today that SANscreen® has been awarded the Gold medal in the Storage Management category of the 2004 Product of the Year awards from Storage magazine and SearchStorage.com. Storage magazine selected SANscreen, in part, because "it is the only product of its kind available today." According to the magazine: "SANscreen blows the doors off anything else in the storage network management space."
Onaro's SANscreen Predictive Change Management software is used by Fortune 1000 firms to reduce the risks, time and resources in managing and growing Storage Area Networks (SANs). In addition, it improves communication and coordination throughout the change process. SANscreen predicts the impact of changes before implementation, troubleshoots problems as they arrive, and continuously monitors and validates the health of a SAN throughout changes, migrations and consolidations. Its root-cause analysis identifies and suggests fixes for violations that stray from policies and best practices, exposing potentially fatal errors and vulnerabilities.
Featured in the 2005 issue of Storage magazine and at www.searchstorage.com, the awards were judged by editors of Tech Target "s Storage and SearchStorage.com, in conjunction with a team of users, industry experts, analysts and consultants.
Bob Shinn, a principal at State Street Global Advisors, said, "SANscreen helped us to more easily see the complex access paths, relationships and interdependencies within our SANs. If you manage a large SAN, SANscreen is a tool you need for all the obvious reasons."
Onaro CEO Shai Scharf, said, "The award from Storage Magazine and SearchStorage.com is another confirmation that SAN Change Management is must-have technology for ensuring data and application availability. We expect that the award will accelerate SANscreen's acceptance as the de facto standard for validation and troubleshooting, ensuring that all other storage software investments and change configurations are functioning properly. By dramatically simplifying, validating and accelerating SAN changes, SANscreen enables IT organizations to maintain SANs that support the business."
