Storage hardware applications provider EMC has introduced new enhancements to EMC ProSphere storage resource management software.
The new enhancements enable customers to understand how capacity is being used, track consumption trends to know when more storage will be required and receive automated alerts across the storage environment to identify issues and assess their impact, in 2 clicks.
The new capacity dashboards and reporting capabilities also feature new integration with EMC FAST VP, which help increase utilisation, reduce storage costs, improve performance levels and create an improved IT environment.
ProSphere enables IT Transformation in both physical and virtual worlds, allowing customers to manage IT-as-a-Service by monitoring and analysing service levels from end-to-end.
The EMC software will help customers to visualize relationships and application dependencies across physical and virtual environment.
It also helps customers analyse and troubleshoot performance issues from the virtual guest down through the storage layers.
ProSphere provides customers with the tools to optimise their storage infrastructure to better control storage costs.
Integrating ProSphere with FAST VP automatically tracks the consumption of virtual pools to identify when new capacity will be required, facilitating just-in-time purchasing to lower storage acquisition costs.
