ONARO SAN Screen

IT organizations deliver a broad array of services to their business customers on a daily basis. Among the most critical of these services is networked storage. IT storage teams must provide these storage services to the application teams based on specific capacity, access, recoverability and performance requirements. Delivering these storage services is a complex undertaking that occurs in an environment characterized by the following challenges:

• A highly distributed storage infrastructure
• High storage growth rates
• Corporate mergers and acquisitions that constantly change the nature and composition of the technology environment
• Lack of service policy definitions and visibility
• A storage team whose management tools are not effectively linked with the IT service delivery chain

Onaro® addresses these challenges with SANscreen®. SANscreen is a suite of products designed to align storage infrastructure with application requirements at the lowest possible cost – what Onaro calls Storage Service Management.

Key characteristics of the SANscreen product suite include:

• A sophisticated, realtime service intelligence engine that models how distributed system components work together to deliver storage services to an application
• An application service repository that tracks the storage services requested for each application
• A verification engine validating in real time that the delivered storage services match those requested for the application
• A change repository that records all service and device modifications
• Comprehensive and open feedback and reporting
