SPACEWatch - Four Reasons To Buy

Here are four popular reasons why our customers find SPACEWatch Enterprise an essential purchase.


1. Improve Service Availability

It can turn your time consuming problem investigations into responsive service restoration - or even prevention:

Tools and data available when you need them		SPACEWatch Pro gives you integrated tools and access to data whenever you need them - no need to get familiar with niche utilities, waste your time scanning individual systems before you can get answers, or use different tools for different systems. Just connect to your SPACEWatch Pro SQL database and get going.
Resolve issues before problems occur		SPACEWatch Pro will automatically maintain data that you can share with your team or with your users. Highlight trends - pinpoint where the hot spots are and who's causing them. Now you can find the time to prepare powerful reports that rapidly make your point, either in numbers or charts. Have SPACEWatch Pro automatically generate and email key reports to you. Alert exceptions such as nearly full volumes and circulate formatted reports with your recommendations for action.
Work together to solve problems		With SPACEWatch Pro's central shared SQL database your co-workers can easily use their own copies of SPACEWatch Pro to work on the same space data the way they want.

2. Save Money

It can save you significant cost by reducing the data you must store and manage:

Less data to manage		Disks may be cheap, but management of data is not. Forrester Research estimates that management costs alone can outweigh the capital expense of storage by a factor of 7 to 1. Use SPACEWatch Pro to rapidly reduce the data you have to manage by finding and removing unwanted data, and a whole range of support costs reduce as well - from SAN and NAS management, backup management and quota allocations - and even DR complexity.
Less data to back up and restore, fewer tapes to store off-site		SPACEWatch Pro will let you shorten your backup windows, making systems more available, but also reducing the systems and media you need to buy and manage.

3. Improve Migration Planning

It can help you prepare for significant infrastructure change and reduce the risk of costly design errors:

Storage audit just became much easier		Are you planning a consolidation or migration to a tiered storage solution? Now you can use SPACEWatch Pro to carry out more informed design work without expending lots of effort on manual audits of your systems.
Analyze trends		Pinpoint where to concentrate your efforts by using SPACEWatch Pro's trend analyses.

4. Enforce Your Standards

It can be pretty easy to define what sort of data users should and shouldn't be creating on your organization's systems - but without the right tools there just isn't time to enforce those standards:

Instantly view the size of your problem		Use SPACEWatch Pro's 'highlight groups' to immediately see how much standards are being broken - e.g. in storage of unauthorized audio files - then instantly drill down to see who and where the cause is.
Spot compliance issues		Concerned about unlicensed or non-standard application use? SPACEWatch Pro will show you all applications stored on your systems - and what data is being created with those applications - with no need for 'pattern databases' or other manual maintenance effort.
