Storage analyst Deni Connor focuses on storage, application and infrastructure management in this twice-weekly newsletter.
Aptare last week introduced a new version of its StorageConsole software, which contains for the first time a capacity management component.
StorageConsole Platform 6.5 now includes the ability to track storage capacity utilization to let storage administrators determine future storage needs.
StorageConsole 6.5 integrates backup reporting and storage capacity management into a single Web-based console.
The new StorageConsole Capacity Management application gives storage administrators insight into the variance between allocated and used storage and provides predictive analysis to make future forecasting easier and more reliable. IT can view the relationship of host computers to arrays and identify storage users and abusers. With the software they can also identify underutilized storage. The StorageConsole Capacity Management application also provides alerts and notification of irregular storage utilization and consumption-based charge back reporting.
Additionally, the StorageConsole Backup Management module has been enhanced with support for HP Data Protector and Symantec Backup Exec 11D backup environments.
Going forward, StorageConsole will support reporting on replication of data.
Aptare was founded in 1993 and claims as many as 300 customers.
The Capacity Management Application is priced at $20,000 for 50TB of storage under management. The Backup Management module costs $15,000 for 50 backup clients.
The new version is expected to be available by the end of this month.
