The new management tool presents the complete DVS-SAN environment schematically and supplies reliable information about the configuration, size, and utilization of the central storage system. Continuous monitoring and reporting give administrators data for the entire DVS-SAN structure, including storage components, switches, servers, and systems. They can monitor smooth operation, detect overloaded connections or emerging data congestion early, and proactively prevent it.
The system independently detects malfunctions and faults and immediately reports them to the responsible administrator. With the management tool, DVS provides a distinctive way to maintain a convenient overview of complex DVS-SAN systems and continuously ensure the highest data-transfer rates.
The management tool finds an ideal counterpart in Spycer for DVS-SAN, which enables effective content management. Spycer supports searching and editing images and their metadata. Its extensive functions also include high-speed copying and a reliable high-speed defragmenter that can quickly defragment image sequences. The complete feature set was designed specifically for the demands of high-resolution film and video data in postproduction, providing fast and effective workflows.
Markus Kohaupt, DVS Product Manager, said: “Because of its scalability and performance, DVS-SAN is an ideal storage system for postproduction. Together with Spycer for DVS-SAN, our new management tool forms a high-performance software duo and the ideal platform for managing the SAN environment and content.”
