CA Nimsoft Monitor for NetApp

Intelligent Monitoring for NetApp Storage

CA Nimsoft Monitor for NetApp Storage is a complete solution to integrated monitoring for the health and performance of NetApp storage solutions. The solution also improves the efficiency of storage usage—providing the information organizations need to pinpoint and quickly remediate outages caused by their storage environment and to prevent outages before they occur.

Automatically discovering storage configurations.
Automatically deploying monitoring.
Automatically generating reports and views by template.

Integrate Storage Monitoring with Monitoring for the Rest of Your IT Infrastructure

IT infrastructure has grown in complexity as a result of virtualization, increased computing and storage density, and the needs of mission-critical applications and services. As a result of these changes, single, siloed tool sets are too expensive and too complex to maintain and integrate.

Modular solutions are required. Solutions that encompass complete sets of physical environment elements (including storage, servers, and networks), virtual environments, applications, critical services and multiple IT management disciplines. CA Nimsoft Monitor provides this context.

Optimize Storage Environment Configuration and Performance

NetApp administrators have great flexibility in configuring and using storage. To understand the operation of this complex, flexible environment, and to optimize the use of this storage, requires detailed usage and performance information, presented in a way that allows an easy grasp of significant usage patterns.

CA Nimsoft Monitor for NetApp Storage provides not only events, alarms, and the capability to quickly identify and remediate problems—but also the extended performance and usage data that allows administrators to configure the environment for best usage today, and to optimize the configuration for future needs and trends.

Key Features

Provides detailed information on events, alerts and performance from NetApp storage devices including:
- Product operation and system usage metrics
- Hardware statistics for Disks, Used Disks, Spare Disks, Unassigned Disks
- Enclosure, Ethernet interface and FCP target information
- Aggregates, Volumes, LUNS and vFilers details
- SnapMirror and SnapVault status and information
- Quotas, and more
Automatically discovers storage configurations—including clusters, LUNs, volumes, aggregates, vFilers, SnapMirror and SnapVault status and more.
Applies monitoring by template to discovered storage elements.
As an element of the CA Nimsoft Monitor platform, can be combined with EMC, UCS, physical and virtual storage information for a complete view of your organization’s storage status.
Usage metering to map storage usage to customers and stakeholders.
Leverages the CA Nimsoft Monitor platform to provide correlation and full business service views for the servers, virtual environments, applications and complete business services that rely on the storage environment.

Benefits

Reduce administrative effort and costs associated with monitoring dynamic NetApp Storage solutions.
Optimize utilization of scarce storage resources.
Prevent downtime and improve SLA compliance for applications that depend on NetApp storage availability.
Show users the value delivered from the storage environment with usage information, trends and SLA information.
Streamline storage administration with a single tool for your EMC, NetApp and local storage environments.
Track and demonstrate the business value associated with NetApp Storage.
