 Challenges
At a time when budgets are receding, mission-critical applications – from databases to messaging systems to web servers to you-name-it – continue to devour storage capacity and hours of very expensive storage management time, at an alarming rate. Many enterprises find themselves purchasing more capacity than necessary due to inefficient use of their storage infrastructure, and overworked administrators are frustrated at their inability to keep up with the nonstop storage provisioning demands caused by the downpour of data.  Storage Engine Solution
- Consolidates all available storage capacity across vendor, cabinet, interface, OS, and connectivity boundaries
- Centralizes management of all storage under a single go-anywhere Java console
Synchronism delivers
- Storage management and storage services are unified under one central easy-to-use, go-anywhere Java management console.
- Allows the consolidation of application servers and multiple physical disk resources (RAID, JBOD, tapes, etc.), across cabinets and various interface protocols (Fibre Channel, SCSI, iSCSI).
- Enables any existing storage system to be combined with new storage to create a high performance storage network that offers both block-level (SAN) access for high performance storage as well as NAS resources for file-sharing purposes.
- At the same time, a wealth of new features and enterprise class storage services, previously beyond reach of any but the largest IT shops, are added.
- Capacity-On-Demand frees up disk space by compressing infrequently used files and/or relocating them to an overflow storage pool. If necessary, COD can expand the file system to meet the storage needs of the application in real time, without user intervention, providing automated, policy-based capacity management.
Lowers TCO, Maximizes ROI
Synchronism maximizes storage resource utilization while dramatically simplifying management, while its open architecture leverages existing IT infrastructure and know-how. The result? Costs are cut all across the board:
- Lower hardware costs
- Lower software costs
- And especially, dramatically lower management costs
