What is storage monitoring?
Storage monitoring is the process of evaluating, monitoring, and managing your on-premises, cloud-based, and virtual storage systems. Storage monitoring keeps you informed about any issues regarding business-critical applications and the allocation of storage resources while monitoring multiple infrastructure elements associated with your applications.
Storage monitoring tools provide visibility that enables administrators to take a proactive approach to predicting, diagnosing, and resolving issues within the storage environment— improving the end-user experience through better performance.
How can storage monitoring tools help an organization like yours?
Data storage is changing rapidly. Gartner says that, by 2024, half of all capacity will be in software-defined storage deployed in the cloud or on-premises. Keeping track of the systems used to support and manage your storage requires monitoring that can see across all infrastructure wherever your storage is now—and wherever it is tomorrow.
And legacy IT operations management tools are incompatible with today’s cloud and virtual storage systems and infrastructure. Forward-looking companies use a platform engineered to support the sophisticated technologies you depend on today as well as your future storage investments. Whatever your mix of cloud, on-premises, and virtual storage is, it should be available, reliable, and working efficiently. And this requires complete, contextual visibility to ensure your storage-dependent services and applications are functioning as intended.
