Features Summary
- Breakthrough Simplicity
Requires no special training and makes any IT generalist look like a storage pro-in fact, it's like having a storage expert in the box.
Provides management of file shares (NAS), application storage (iSCSI Target), and data protection.
Presents shared storage in application-centric terms and uses terms and functions familiar to application administrators.
If you've already created file shares using Microsoft's management tools, All-in-One Storage Manager will discover and manage them (including snapshot scheduling). - Do More in Less Time
Configure existing volumes or raw storage for file shares and/or application storage in just a few mouse clicks. Be up and running in minutes instead of hours.
Manage capacity, security, quotas, alerts, data protection, replication, and more from one interface.
Integration of snapshot, backup, and replication options in setup wizards for file shares and application stores makes configuring data protection a breeze. - Powerful Storage Management Tools
