NetApp SANscreen Service Assurance

Use SANscreen Service Assurance to manage and deliver storage as a true end-to-end service.

Service Policy Management

Building on the service path modeling of SANscreen® Service Insight, SANscreen Service Assurance allows you to establish global-, application-, host-, or path-based service policies. When the services delivered fail to meet those defined by the policy, you’re notified of the service violation. By tracking service violations and vulnerabilities in your storage environment, your storage team can proactively remove latent quality issues and dramatically reduce the possibility of an outage.

With near real-time verification of end-to-end application policies, you can monitor storage at a new level of operational efficiency.

Planning Change

Chances are your networked storage environment is constantly changing to support growth, consolidations, virtualization, and improved performance. Yet every change you make introduces an element of risk. Do you know how these changes impact the applications relying on storage? Do you ever ask yourself, "What if?"

That’s where SANscreen® Service Assurance comes in. You can run what-if scenarios to simulate planned configuration changes and accurately determine their impact before moving anything.

Service Assurance helps you create plans to implement any change in the environment. You can simulate the change plan to understand its impact on your service-level policies, evaluate resulting future service-level violations, and make informed decisions on whether or not to proceed with the changes.

Reduce the risk, overhead, and time associated with managing switch, array, and data center migrations and consolidations using Service Assurance’s premigration and postmigration checks and quality assurances.

Reduce capital expenditures by identifying and reclaiming unused storage resources in your environment.
