Global Storage Manager (GSM) software
 
StorageTek® Global Storage Manager (GSM) software enables large enterprises to efficiently manage large, complex and far-flung storage environments. From a single point of management, the software helps companies view and understand their storage environments, control storage assets and leverage storage investments.
 
Applications
Storage consolidation
By providing a cumulative view of storage operations in an organization, GSM software can help make storage and server consolidation more manageable.
Backup and restore
Global Storage Manager software can help maintain backup and restore performance across multiple vendors and processes across an enterprise.
Data center management
Global Storage Manager software can be used to centralize storage operations monitoring and management in complex data center environments.
 
Benefits
Investment protection
By maximizing disk capacity already in place, organizations can carefully evaluate if additional storage purchases can be delayed or postponed.
Control storage assets
Management applications make it easy to monitor heterogeneous, distributed storage environments in real time, to respond immediately to problems and access individual device management tools.
Easy integration
Global Storage Manager software integrates seamlessly with existing tools and applications, eliminating the costly task of adjusting to individual vendors.
Comprehensive view
This technology allows companies to understand exactly what storage exists, where it resides, how it is being utilized and how usage patterns are changing.
 
Features
Standard features:
Secure system
A highly secure redundant architecture facilitates data collection from multiple networks.
Intelligent system
Smart agent interfaces convert data from devices and systems into a common vendor-neutral format for analysis and reporting.
Data availability
The safety of data and applications is bolstered through immediate identification of incomplete backups.
Single view
From a single console, the web-based system enables a real-time enterprise-wide view of the complete storage infrastructure, usage trends, up-to-the-minute inventory and status.
