SolarWinds Storage Profiler

Storage Profiler delivers agentless heterogeneous monitoring and reporting. Regardless of the storage platform, Storage Profiler provides a normalised view of the entire enterprise via a single pane-of-glass view, unlike other products, which have been created by loosely packaging independent point products. Storage Profiler automates the processes for budgeting, forecasting, and capacity planning making these tasks easy, accurate, and consistent.

Storage Profiler is the only intuitive web-based application that combines reporting, monitoring, and notification across the entire storage stack for DAS, NAS, and SAN management.. From end-to-end Storage Profiler unifies the view from the user through the application, server, connectivity, all the way to the disk, enabling administrative efficiencies, risk mitigation, and optimisation. Real-Time and historical reporting and monitoring enables organisations to proactively manage storage, forecast growth, and avoid costly outages and poor application performance.

Storage Profiler delivers agentless accurate, timely, and critical information to the right people within an IT organisation, making it possible for executives, directors, and administrators to have the right data in order to make the most informed decisions and take actions that will enable the business as a whole to be more profitable, scalable, and competitive.

Customers gain valuable insight into storage utilisation across the enterprise, identify the impact of a failure, and trend and forecast for capacity planning and business continuity decisions, all from a single view.
