What device do these screenshots come from?
If you guessed a Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone then well done. If you guessed the model of phone then you know far too much about the latest hot tech toys (its an HTC TyTN II by the way). If you got one for Christmas then welcome to my geek club!
They’re great as a business tool – and you will soon be able to use this (or any other mobile device that has a pocket browser built in) for storage management via your SPACEWatch Storage Suite.
For example, do you notice the red bar in the first screenshot above? That’s a volume that is running low on available space. You can then immediately use the tree summary shown in the second screenshot to see where all the storage is being used.
So how do I get a storage summary from my SPACEWatch space database displayed on my smartphone? The answer is by using the web interface that will be available in a forthcoming update. You can use it from a normal browser – or a pocket browser on your smartphone as in the example above. SPACEWatch will automatically adjust its display to suite your browser.
As you can see, we have a working solution in development. It won’t be long before customers with maintenance contracts can get a free update that includes these new features.
With the new web interface you can take a look at a range of SPACEWatch space data – and manage your storage wherever you are. The above example shows available and used disk storage on your servers and volumes in a handy bar chart. But you can delve much deeper.
As with the desktop SPACEWatch client, you can drill down to file level detail. For example, the first screenshot above shows another smartphone storage summary – this time top file types. On this page I can click on any file type link and I’ll see all those files listed… then I can pick one and another click later I can see all the file detail – as shown in the second screenshot above.
You will even be able to carry out searches of your space data remotely and monitor the progress of your space database scan and merge jobs.
So if you’ve ever wanted to take SPACEWatch with you when you’re away from your desk – now you can. With the SPACEWatch web interface.
