SPACEWatch includes a range of highly integrated storage management tools. They let you take a "10,000 metre" view of trends --- or focus right in on file level detail - wherever you are, and without waiting for production storage systems to respond.
Whether you want to clean up your own PC - or introduce cost effective storage management across your enterprise. You can automate many routine tasks - like sending summary reports to users via email, or carrying out file archiving or deletion of unwanted or unused areas of storage and duplicate files.
And all this can be carried out on any number or combination of Microsoft Windows, Novell NetWare, UNIX, linux, Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus, SAN or NAS storage system - with agent-free seamless integration into each environment. No need to install software on your production systems.
SPACEWatch lets you search for file duplicates, with results in seconds no matter where they are hiding. Search across all your servers and storage systems at once, or limit your search to the worst offenders. And once you have results to review, visualise how storage is being consumed by duplicates on each of your servers. Review the worst offenders by file, user, or folder.
Use "one click" analyses to find other unused and unwanted files. Or construct, save and re-use your own complex searches again and again. Use the powerful "save by group" feature to readily share results with individual users. Use save searches for your own custom reports - or go one step further and set up automated file actions with the results, like archiving or deletion.
Want to monitor storage being wasted in unwanted types of data, like "music files"? Define your own groups of data types and SPACEWatch will let you instantly monitor how much of a problem they are. With one click you can instantly drill down and see essential details like where those files are, who created them - and when they were last used.
Features:
* Use the enterprise treesize summary to see where storage is used in one glance
* Analyze all your storage with one glance
* Use treemaps to see hidden detail instantly on even the largest networks
* Use one-click popular analyses or design your own
* See the hot spots instantly
* See a free space summary across all volumes
* Drill down on the detail, wherever you - or your storage - is located.
Using the treesize tool IT professionals can rapidly analyze where storage is being used across multiple servers, NAS and SAN devices. Filter out the noise to easily see areas of interest.
Construct, save and re-use your own complex searches again and again. It becomes simple to answer previously difficult questions like "where on the network are all the large files that have not been used for a long time, and who has been creating them".
With the network summary you can see all your volumes, disks and file systems - and their current status - in one handy view. Produce exception reports and have them sent to you by email - automatically.
SPACEWatch lets you view trends in storage use straight away - with no need to build up snapshots first. You can use these trends to look at historic change - and then apply various regression analyses to view possible future impact.
Use day-of-week, time-of-day and special mailbox analyses to see how your storage is being used --- useful if you are planning migration or consolidation exercises.
See a baseline prediction of storage growth, then compare this with scenarios that you might implement. For example, see the predicted impact of removing unused files and use this to justify the activity required. Perfect as a planning tool to aid in business case preparation or investment analysis.
