Network
Appliance Expands Storage Management and Virtualization
Portfolio continued |
Further extending Network
Appliance's management capabilities, ApplianceWatch software
facilitates central and remote administration of distributed
NetApp appliances in Tivoli Enterprise systems management
environments and HP OpenView network management frameworks, to
lower TCO by leveraging investments in technology and
training. The latest version of ApplianceWatch software for
Tivoli Enterprise incorporates distributed appliance
monitoring, inventory tracking, and event console messaging to
help administrators quickly manage appliances in even the
largest global enterprise networks. ApplianceWatch for HP
OpenView offers integrated support for HP OpenView's latest
Network Node Manager.
MultiStore software simplifies data management through
advanced virtualization functionality that allows
administrators to consolidate multiple UNIX® and Windows®
servers and domains into one physical appliance. MultiStore
enables secure, logical partitioning of a filer's network and
storage resources, allowing one NetApp filer to act as many
virtual filers. Using MultiStore, information cannot be
accessed and resources cannot be discovered across virtual
partitions, ensuring a highly secure environment. MultiStore
also offers a unique capability to move and migrate the users,
domain and data to a new filer for disaster recovery or load
balancing.
