Safe Capacity (TM)

Is an automated data management and capacity monitoring solution that addresses the difficulties inherent to exponential data growth. In the event of an error in file size or a checksum error, SafeVelocity automatically retransmits the corrupted blocks. In the event of a broken communications line during transfer, SafeVelocity automatically reestablishes the link and completes the transfer from the point of interruption, 24 by 7 operational requirements, and optimization of data across varying levels of storage resources.

SafeCapacity provides the following significant benefits to its users:

• Delivers clear, file-level reports on storage utilization

• Increases the efficiency of existing storage

• Transparently migrates files across devices to cost balance storage resources

• Eliminates out-of-disk-space events

• Reduces system administration time, monitoring storage systems by twenty percent

• Reduces over-capacity allocation of storage space

• Provides a robust front-end management system for handling fixed-content data

Visual Data Reports

SafeCapacity's included SRM (Storage Resource Management) feature allows IT management to easily make storage decisions based on graphical reports that provides file information on:

• Days Since Modified

• Days Since Accessed

• Statistics by Size of File

• Count by File Extension

• Space by File Extension

• Complex combinations of the above combined with additional file attribute matching

The graphical reports provided by SafeCapacity allows users to easily identify:

• Improperly allocated storage

• Storage intensive users or applications

• Files that are candidates for relocation

• Match data location to physical storage by access time and price per megabyte.

• Existence and quantity of illicit data types that may be stored in violation of corporate rules

Efficient use of storage resources

Provides more than 20% in cost savings from increasing storage efficiency by automatically migrating less accessed files to archival storage, and reducing storage growth rate on high end storage. Users can choose to have less frequently used files automatically compressed in-place or routed to less expensive and storage systems.

Automated Capacity Management

SafeCapacity automates data optimization and life-cycle management using "Set and Forget" policies. System administrators no longer need to closely monitor storage on each individual file system, or spend hours on end juggling physical file placement to meet business needs.

Optimization of High Speed storage

For high-end environments, SafeCapacity's Hotfile option allows for easy identification and transparent migration of hot files to faster storage, without requiring modification to applications. SafeCapacity maintains the high speed I/O data rates delivered by the faster storage through its pass-through relocation method, guaranteeing that critical applications receive the performance they need. By continuously monitoring and maintaining optimum file I/O performance in mixed storage device systems, SafeCapacity-Hotfile delivers near perfect IOPS [input/output per second] levels.

Cost savings

The ability to balance storage resources by segmenting data based on business rules allows users of SafeCapacity to achieve enormous cost savings. By following user configurable storage policies, SafeCapacity automatically categorizes and transparently migrates files to other storage devices at scheduled intervals, freeing storage administrators from this previously tedious and time consuming task.

Continuous Storage Availability

SafeCapacity virtually eliminates downtime caused by out-of-disk-space events by monitoring remaining free space and automatically freeing additional space when needed-- within seconds.

Management By Automated Alerts

Administrators may now manage their storage either by exception or with proactiveness. SafeCapacity provides a unique and revolutionary, real-time approach to managing storage resources. When a storage capacity crisis is looming, administrators receive both the instant notification of the impending issue and the reassurance that SafeCapacity has begun following its policy to automatically correct the problem.

Ease of scaling

SafeCapacity automatically scales to any size file system environment and facilitates the expansion of user's storage facilities without unnecessary downtime.
