SPACEWatch Client - your interactive storage management suite

SPACEWatch Administrator - the GUI management tool

Get a "traffic light" view of top issues with the new Dashboard

Use the Dashboard applets to quickly review where to concentrate your efforts.

Set traffic lights to rate what's important in the areas of overall network storage; user storage use; unwanted and duplicated files and storage growth.

Find and visualize duplicated storage instantly

High performance discovery of duplicated files and folders across your network - wherever users put them.

Refine your discovery and visualize the results to concentrate on hot spots instantly. Focus in on the detail to take action.

Model the benefits of change

Use the new "Scenarios" tool to do three things - look at how your storage will grow if you do nothing; then choose scenarios to plan the impact of chosen areas of change; then see how much money you will save.

For example you might try deleting unused files, or removing audio files on particular systems - you can then calculate and review what impact these changes will have, and immediately see how much they will improve on SPACEWatch's "do nothing" prediction. And you can do this without having to wait and collect historical data!

Spot free space issues instantly across your network

View the status of all your storage volumes and their free space. Set thresholds and see visually when these are exceeded.

Automatically generate exception reports and have these periodically sent to you by email - so you know immediately when you have issues.

Find unwanted file types - then carry out cleanups

Define groups of file types that you want to track - or use the built-in groups provided.

See which types are consuming most storage and find out how much space is wasted in types you don't want e.g. audio files. Drill down and see where these are - and who created them. Review unused files and remove them - all without leaving SPACEWatch, and wherever they are on your network.

Use flexible reporting to share results with others

Use SPACEWatch's powerful built-in reports to share your findings with others - or generate your own fully-flexible custom reports.

Automate the generation of popular reports and have these sent out by email to your schedule.

For example, departmental summaries of duplicated, unwanted and unused files.

Answer detailed questions instantly

SPACEWatch collects and maintains file-level data about your unstructured storage in one or more space databases. These allow you to answer detailed questions instantly, without waiting for your network to be re-scanned.

With one click you can save searches and then any SPACEWatch users can re-use them again and again.

Automate reports and common storage management tasks

Use the new SPACEWatch Administrator 6 and its powerful task management capability. This allows you to set flexible schedules to meet any reporting requirements.

It can also be used with the SPACEWatch Automated Storage Management module to create pro-active storage management tasks. For example, routinely find and remove files that break policy such as MP3's. Move or archive files that have remained unused for long periods.

Ease of use reaches new levels

The new "Office Fluent" user interface brings Microsoft Office 2007-like ribbon bar features to the new SPACEWatch Client.

It may look superficially simpler - but there's much more power available in the new SPACEWatch 6 Client.
With one click, dynamically filter and group your results - or just sort on multiple columns.

Then, in one smooth operation, save your results to a Microsoft Excel Workbook - split into sheets by your results grouping.

Note: features were correct at time of publication, but may be subject to alteration in the gold release of SPACEWatch Enterprise 6.
