Solutions > Storage Service Management (SSM) Defined
Configuring a storage environment correctly is a complex undertaking. Device managers, fabric managers, customer scripts and storage resource management (SRM) applications all work to configure individual devices.
Unfortunately, these storage management applications do not provide an independent feedback loop to verify that the devices are working together to provide the level of services required to support an application.
That’s where SANscreen comes in. SANscreen provides real-time, independent feedback that all the devices in your SAN are working together to meet the services required by your applications.
SANscreen’s real-time feedback enables IT teams to verify the present level of storage service, record and analyze past levels, and predict the future level.
We call this storage service management (SSM).
Onaro is committed to advancing storage service management to improve ROI, service quality and compliance for storage management. To support this effort, Onaro:
- Publishes the Storage Service Management (SSM) Quarterly Benchmark – a report that benchmarks performance of organizations across multiple service dimensions
- Convenes the quarterly customer advisory panel to solicit input from customers on the future direction of SSM
