Storage is an essential part of any network. For many companies, storage management is still a manual process – an ongoing chore that drains an IT team's time and budget.

There is an easy way to manage your storage easily and effectively. By using Infortrend's storage management tools, users can manage their storage systems and data operations without having to install several, separate software applications.

  • Benefits

Storage infrastructure gets complicated with data growth, posing new challenges to IT managers. To simplify storage management, Infortrend consolidates many advanced functions on its management platforms. Via in-band or out-of-band connection, users can configure, administer and monitor multiple Infortrend storage systems whenever and however they like. When any abnormal events happen, systems will automatically notify users for proactive handling. Users are also allowed to continuously check the performance of individual hard drives, ensuring their full contribution to optimal system productivity. At no additional costs, the comprehensive storage management features make it easy to optimize storage infrastructure for high availability, efficiency and performance.

Infortrend provides two kinds of storage platforms – SANWatch and RAIDWatch. RAIDWatch is used to manage the ASIC226-based models, including A12F/A08F-G2422, A12E-G2121 and A24U/A16U/A12U/A08U/A04U-G2421, while the SANWatch is used to manage all other EonStor, EonStor DS and ESVA systems. With SANWatch, you can access all the above functions
