How
do you balance files among variant performance storage sub-systems
and achieve optimal I/O throughput?
SafeCapacity-Hotfile™ Identifying
and load-balancing files across disparate storage devices based
on access rates.
- Tells you which files are the best candidates for your fastest
access disk systems - your most active files.
- You make informed decisions on which files to transparently
migrate to faster disk subsystems.
SafeCapacity-Hotfile is Solution-Soft's automated
capacity management solution, addressing storage shortcomings brought
on by the data explosion, 24x7x365 operational requirements and
the subsequent drain on IT resources.
SafeCapacity-Hotfile achieves the previously unobtainable goal
of continuously maintaining optimum file I/O performance in mixed
storage device systems, making short-work of its proven near-perfect
IOPS [input/output per second] levels. Powerful file management
that, until now, could be only partially realized and only the result
of speculative guesswork, ongoing and time-consuming scrutinization
of system access times, and regular, rigorous system file configuration
and re-configuration by system administrators. To top it off,
SafeCapacity-Hotfile
is undaunted by the fluid nature of massive systems.
Achieving Optimum I/O Performance
SafeCapacity-Hotfile effectively manages
a complex variety of disk subsystems and increasingly complex data
sets so that the highest-level of file system I/O performance is
maintained.
Our software monitors individual file I/O rates, instead of comparing
disk utilization rates, identifying the most active "hot-files"
in your system by name and location. Database and system administrators
can identify and transparently migrate any file causing I/O bottleneck,
quickly and with 100% accuracy.
Optimize storage systems by moving "hot-files" to
fast storage
SafeCapacity-Hotfile saves you time, resources, and the associated
costs, by optimizing your storage. After identifying high-access
files to determine sources of excessive I/O usage, our software
eliminates bottlenecks by transparently migrating "hot-files"
to your fastest access devices. No reconfiguration of any application
is necessary to accomplish this. The results? An immediate elimination
of all I/O bottlenecks, increasing the I/O characteristics and speeding
up the overall average access time for your system.
An extension of the industry-leader in automatic storage management.
SafeCapacity-Hotfile adds a new dimension to Solution-Soft's
historically successful SafeCapacity, an industry-leading solution
for automatic storage management. SafeCapacity manages the relocation
of files to the optimum secondary device, keeping the entire process
entirely unobservable to both users and applications. Access to
your files is transparently redirected while the appearance
and attributes remain the same. There is never any performance degradation.
SafeCapacity provides users with the highest possible performance,
reliable, efficient data performance and ensures the highest I/O bandwidth
and consistent data availability.
Cost Savings.
SafeCapacity-Hotfile saves you money.
- Optimizes Storage Across Vendor Boundaries - By establishing
"storage-classes" you can cost-consciously manage your
data . Store critical data on your most capable (and most expensive)
storage devices. Manage non-critical or archival data on reduced
performance, cost-efficient, media.
- Automated capacity management - Automates Capacity management
using "Set and Forget" policies. System administrators no longer
need to closely monitor the remaining storage space on each individual
file system.
- Efficient use of storage resources - Provides an average
20% cost savings by increasing user storage efficiency and reducing
the storage growth rate. Also allows hot files to be available
on a local fast disk, while less frequently used files can be
automatically compressed and routed to less expensive and slower
disks.
- Ease of scaling across storage architectures - Automatically
scales to any size file system environment and facilitates the
expansion of user's storage facilities without unnecessary downtime.
Compatible with all data storage architectures: Network Attached
Storage (NAS), Storage Area Network (SAN), SCSI over IP (iSCSI)
and Direct Attached Storage (DAS).
