This article talked about the SAN configuration application.
This application is designed to detect software to storage networks. Recently
AvailabilityGuard/SAN is part of Continuity’s Availability Guard/Enterprise
suite of risk detection application launched. This was designed to detect how
Fibre channels, SAN switches, and host bus adapters will impact other SAN
devices. The AvailabilityGuard/SAN scans
all devices in the SAN fabric through agentless data collection. So what will happen is it allow all the
issues to show up on the server and once the customer clicks the problem, step
by step instructions will be provided to solve the problem. The software supports FC switches from
Broacade Communications and Cisco Systems. The pricing for this product starts
at $20,00 per year. David Simpson, a
senior storage analyst at New York-based 451 Research LLC, talked a little bit
about the product in the article. He made the point that the key is that
Continuity is automating a process that is difficult and time-consuming to do
manually. He was making the point that it would be more cost effective to
purchase this product that will do it for you rather than do it manually. The
article went on to talk about another example about how a SAN may find a switch
lacks redundancy and this is a single point of failure. With the product it can
show valid paths from servers to storage to meet service-level agreements. Continuity Software CEO Gil Hecht talked about
how dependable their product is, saying that if they detect a problem on the
SAN, they will know where the problem is. I feel that this will be a very good
product to make the lives of people working on servers a lot easier. They wont
have to spend hours and hours looking for what the problem is and how to solve
it. They can now have the problem and solution right there in front of them
thanks to the SAN.
