Business Focus
 Applications are the focus of business lines and SLAs
– Many policies are couched in terms of application performance,
resources, and availability
– Migrations, consolidation, and other strategic transitions are often
driven from the application level
 Application knowledge allows better management of the storage
environment
– Mapping from applications to storage facilitates policy management
– Understanding application activity and
resource needs to resolve complex, crossfunctional systems and applications
– Monitoring all of your infrastructure, including
the business applications on your Automated
Network Storage

Today’s IT Challenge
 Monitoring
– Reactive, not proactive
– Cannot predict performance,
availability and capacity
problems before they occur
 Reporting
– Difficult, time-consuming,
and error-prone today
– Cannot quickly track asset
performance to consolidate
 Implementation planning
– Very inefficient
 Control and configuration
– Too many vendor-specific tools
