Monitoring Solutions for SANs and LANs

SAN NetWisdom Portal

NetWisdom is a Storage Area Network (SAN) performance monitoring solution that helps simplify SAN administration and ensure SAN health and uptime. NetWisdom Portal is a powerful central software for NetWisdom. The portal collects link & end-device conversation statistics.


NetWisdom Portal Features and Benefits


* Gathers, Aggregates & Records Statistics from All Available
* NetWisdom Probes in the SAN & THGs Probes in the LAN
* Integrated Control of Finisar 8 port taps
* Performs Alarm Triggered Actions (email, logging, recording)
* Link Level Alarming & I/T/L Level Alarming
* Relational Database Storage of Summarized Metrics and Events
* Web Access to Reports, Alarms and Probe Management


Central to NetWisdoms architecture, the Portal discovers and manages all available NetWisdom Probes. Portal then gathers, aggregates and records the SCSI and Link statistics every second from the available Probes making it accessible to NetWisdom Views. Portal is a powerful software tool that performs statistical calculation, generates alarms and records the storage centric statistics for play-back. Based on a JAVA Architecture, Portal manages all probes discovered in the SAN or LAN and generates alarms based off of user configured thresholds.


In the SAN, the Portal aggregates key statistics for Initiators, Targets and Target/LUNs, allowing the SAN manager to monitor accesses to a server or a device. With the device level statistics, SAN managers can analyze exactly which devices are communicating through which link. User definable conditions will be entered into a log for "out-of-bound" event analysis on monitored links. Alarm thresholds can be defined for any metric specifying upper or lower limits by frequency over time. Detect alarms can trigger email, recordings, or file logging and will be stored in the Portals database.
