Collecting
data about the network is one of the critical functions of
proactive network management.
FileWizard
provides enterprise storage management capabilities for all
versions of Windows servers and workstations, all versions
of Novell NetWare networks, UNIX servers running NFS and FTP
sites. Virtually any volume that can be seen by windows
Explorer can be managed with FileWizard .
Administrators
can view and report to determine what kind of files are on
the network, who owns them, when they were last used, how
big they are, and when servers would run out of space. The
storage data is gathered from local and remote locations
throughout the network and collected in a centralized
management location where it is analyzed, processed and
acted upon.
This approach
eliminates the requirement for qualified people at each
site, frees up IT personnel for other critical tasks, lowers
management time and the total cost of managing a network.
FileWizard gives
IT professionals the power to manage growing storage
requirements without throwing hardware at the problem.
network storage usage
to determine past growth rates
and current available
storage capacities.
Chart the
historical growth pattern allowing administrators to
then calculate future growth rate and capacity
requirements. The report projects when storage
capacities will be full if no action is taken.
Plan ahead for
capital spending on the acquisition of new storage
space rather than wait until it is an emergency.
Results can be
displayed in graphs or reports that can be viewed on
screen, saved to a file, or printed. The view can be
changed from a graph to a report (or vice versa) on
the fly. Multiple queries and results can be viewed
at the same time and compared.
The graphs and
reports help pinpoint wasted or reclaimable storage
space.
