SolarWinds extends multi-vendor array support with EMC, Hitachi, HP and IBM arrays

SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor will now support additional EMC(R), Hitachi(R), HP(R) and IBM(R) storage array families and provide monitoring capabilities for hierarchical storage pools.

"IT pros, more often than not, find themselves utilizing mixed storage system environments, and while this can provide additional flexibility, it can also mean an increase in the complexity and, ultimately, cost of management," said Nikki Jennings, group vice president, product strategy, SolarWinds. "With SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor, we aim to help ease these pain points in multi-system storage environments by providing seamless heterogeneous monitoring and insight through one management dashboard at a price organizations of all sizes can afford."

SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor provides IT pros with single-pane-of-glass visibility into their storage infrastructure by monitoring storage performance, isolating hotspots in multi-vendor SAN and NAS solutions and automating storage capacity planning and reporting. SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor also integrates with SolarWinds Virtualization Manager and SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor for end-to-end visibility from application to virtualization to storage.
