Information storage company DataDirect Networks (DDN) has launched a new centralised management application, DirectMon, for its storage, file system and In-Storage Processing technology.

The new application comes with a unified interface to handle all aspects of Big Data storage infrastructure administration.

It also provides a framework for both real-time and predictive systems management and tuning of SAN, NAS and parallel file storage environments.

DDN’s new release will address the broader range of its file storage products as well as the company’s analytics infrastructure direction.

DirectMon will also support DDN’s GRIDScaler file system and IBM GPFS environments.

The new release will be available for DDN’s SFA platforms, including the 6620, 10K and 12K series of products.

DDN Strategy and Technology executive vice president Jean Luc Chatelain said, "DDN’s DirectMon takes the complexity out of managing even the world’s largest Big Data environments, and enables our customers to deploy simple infrastructure capable of scaling up for deep storage capacity and scaling out for added storage capacity and performance."
