SolarWinds, a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today announced it has added support for EMC XtremIO and Pure Storage all-flash arrays (AFAs) to its award-winning SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM). SolarWinds
SRM provides IT professionals with the necessary insights into
multi-vendor traditional and flash storage resources and their potential
performance impact to enhance business-critical application
performance.
With the expanded device support, SolarWinds
SRM helps ensure that any IT organization's deployment of
market-leading EMC XtremIO and Pure Storage AFAs, as well as other
flash-based storage, provides the expected improvements to application
performance. Combined with its already broad support of traditional
storage devices, SolarWinds
SRM is now even more uniquely capable of maximizing the performance of
multi-generational storage environments all from within a single tool.
"Flash-based
storage is quickly becoming commonplace in the enterprise due to the
improving cost-to-performance ratio," said Gerardo Dada, vice president,
product marketing, SolarWinds.
"However, many IT departments must now manage new high-performance
flash arrays alongside legacy storage systems. This can prove
challenging, especially in terms of managing overall capacity,
monitoring performance, aligning storage performance with changing
application requirements and the complexity of generating consolidated
alerting and reporting. SolarWinds
SRM can help IT departments get the most out of their existing storage
while also migrating to newer flash-based technologies, and then realize
the full potential of their flash investment."
SolarWinds SRM provides IT departments the following benefits across traditional and AFA storage deployments:
- Unified heterogeneous storage monitoring
- Storage performance monitoring with status and usage thresholds
- Automated storage capacity planning
- Prebuilt and custom alerting and storage resource reporting
SolarWinds SRM also integrates with the SolarWinds Orion platform, allowing storage performance data collected to be incorporated with data from SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor, SolarWinds Virtualization Manager and SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer into the platform's AppStack
environment view, thereby giving IT departments end-to-end visibility
into the complete underlying application infrastructure to better
troubleshoot application performance issues. With real-time visibility
into heterogeneous SAN and NAS arrays and integration with the AppStack
environment dashboard, IT professionals are able to view and manage an
IT environment from array to application.
Pricing and Availability
SolarWinds SRM pricing starts at $2,935 USD, including the first year of maintenance.
