Storage Growth
Network data storage is growing at an
unprecedented, exponential rate. Factors in this growth include:
- Compliance with industry and government
regulations for storage retention
- Pervasive computing devices in a "keep
everything culture"
1
The availability of
relatively low cost storage devices where data is often offloaded
without much thought or planning
Understaffed
corporate IT departments using manual storage management methods
that simply cannot keep pace with today's network storage needs
But what if you could
automate your storage management tasks so that storage for network users
and groups were provisioned when needed, cleaned up on a regular basis,
reassigned when a user leaves the company, and much more? In other
works, what if you could automate the full lifecycle of network user and
group storage from |
home folder
creation to archiving or disposal along with the normal day-to-day
maintenance associated with this storage?
Introducing Novell® Storage Manager
Novell Storage Manager
automates the full lifecycle management of user and group storage.
Leveraging the network directory (Novell eDirectory™
or Microsoft* Active
Directory*), Novell Storage Manager automates a comprehensive set of
storage management tasks based on events, identities and policies that
reside in the directory. In the process, Novell Storage Manager can
assure storage compliance while saving you time and money.
Policies and Compliance
Directory-stored policies specify the actions
that Novell Storage Manager takes. Policies can be created for:
- Provisioning user and group storage
- Granting file system rights
- Granting storage quotas
|
|
With Novell Storage Manager, you can
remove the headache from provisioning and managing storage,
significantly lower your storage-management costs, and keep users
productive and happy. |
- Managing user home
directory renames
- Removing prohibited
file types
- Transferring
network storage when a user transfers to another department or site
- Automating storage
disposal
- Archiving
- Transfer of storage
ownership
Once an event takes place for which there is an
associated policy, Novell Storage Manager performs the task
automatically— according to the policy. Through its strict enforcement
of policies, Novell Storage Manager assures that compliance for storage
retention, security and access is enforced.
Storage Migration
File system storage growth often requires that home and group
folders be moved to larger disk systems on larger servers. With Novell
Storage Manager, migrating this storage is quick and easy. Simply
indicate the migration destination for the storage, and Novell Storage
Manager can initiate the migrations while working around users that may
be logged in to the network. A large state university used Novell
Storage Manager to migrate 70,000 students from one data center to
another with no loss of productivity or downtime.
Flexible Deployment Options
As organizations expand their environments to include SUSE® Linux
Enterprise from Novell or Novell Open Enterprise Server running SUSE
Linux Enterprise, Novell Storage |
Manager supports this transition with components
capable of running natively in these environments. Novell Storage
Manager can even be deployed as a "software appliance" through VMware*.
Substantial Return on Investment
Automation of storage-related tasks through Novell Storage Manager
can save a substantial amount of money over time. Consider, for example,
a mid-size company with 10,000 users and servers dispersed across
multiple offices. Monthly, they average 200 user-move requests that
require IT personnel to update network and accounts and manually move
storage to new destination servers. Now, they’ve automated that process
and realized significant savings.
