Storage Performance Analyser.


Engenio Information Technologies, Inc., announced the availability of its Storage Perfomance Analyzer (SPA) software which gives storage administrators the ability to optimise performance by measuring, storing, analysing and reporting performance data monitored from a storage area network (SAN). SPA enables end users of Engenio-based systems to improve performance by analysmg collected data and tuning the network, thereby maximising the throughput, responsiveness efficiency and value of Engenio-based enterprise storage platforms.

Storage Performance Analyzer software is an advanced, enterprise-.class performance management tool that collects a wide range of statistics and provides real-time and historical trend analysis of storage system performance. The Storage Performance Analyzer software gives systems administrators a comprehensive view of the complete storage topology topology, branch of mathematics, formerly known as analysis situs, that studies patterns of geometric figures involving position and relative position without regard to size. , from the host to the disk drives. The software discovers host servers, host bus adapters See host adapter. , and Fibre Channel switches Major manufacturers of Fibre Channel switches are: Brocade, Cisco, McData and Qlogic.
  • Brocade:
  • Switches: 5000, 4900, 2400, 2800, 3800, 3900, 4100, 200E
  • Directors: 12000, 24000 and 48000
 from multiple vendors, displays the connections between all resources, and visualises data paths so that administrators are always monitoring relevant statistics.

The Storage Performance Analyzer software, powered by technology from AppIQ, Inc., is designed using industry standard Storage Management Initiative Specifications (SMI-S SMI-S Storage Management Initiative - Specification (SNIA) ) and the Common Information Model (CIM (1) (Computer-Integrated Manufacturing) Integrating office/accounting functions with automated factory systems. Point of sale, billing, machine tool scheduling and supply ordering are part of CIM. ). This allows SPA the ability to optimise a wide range of storage and infrastructure products, and observe the real-time and historical performance anywhere, anytime with a secure Worldwide Web browser The program that serves as your front end to the Web on the Internet.
