CaminoSoft's unique Storage Analyzer tool offers organizations a way to make informed decisions about investing in more primary storage and optimizing the utilization of existing resources by using Managed Server HSM software. The tool allows them to quickly and easily characterize storage volumes on NetWare, Windows, and Network Appliance (NetApp) Filer servers by using a networked Windows 98, 2000/2003, or XP workstation or laptop. Analysis is performed without the need to install agent components on production servers. "A straightforward storage analysis is an effective way to show prospects and customers how our cost-effective solutions can help them leverage their existing infrastructure before making any additional storage investments," said Richard Krueger, vice president of marketing and alliances at CaminoSoft. "However, unlike some storage analysis tools, which require installation on production servers, our software runs on a networked PC and is easy to configure and apply. This approach permits us to 'point' the tool at desired storage resources and characterize file usage unobtrusively without disrupting or placing any restrictions on the customer's operational environment. The results are displayed graphically, profiling storage volume usage on the basis of file aging and highlighting opportunities for reclamation." CaminoSoft's Storage Analyzer, which is offered to end-users, technology partners, and resellers free-of-charge, is downloadable from the company's website. A customized version of the CaminoSoft tool supports EMC's File System Assessment (FSA FSA Financial Services Authority FSA Food Standards Agency (UK) FSA Farm Service Agency (USDA) FSA Financial Services Agency (Japan) ) program and integrates results into a format compatible with EMC's Visual SRM (1) (Storage Resource Management) The management of the storage resources in an organization in order to avoid duplication of files and to determine space utilization across all servers. . The company plans to incorporate Linux server characterization capabilities in 2007.
