SANworks Network View V2.0A by Compaq

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION/OVERVIEW

SANworksTM Network View by Compaq is a SAN management application providing a consolidation point for storage network visualization, monitoring and configuration. SAN devices, their Fibre Channel interconnects, and associated status are automatically discovered and represented in an intuitive topographical display. SAN device management is made easy by double clicking on a device icon. System performance bottlenecks are identified for proactive resolution and planning. A Java based design allows remote SAN management from any Web browser. SANworks Network View is easily installed on the Management Appliance and because it is an appliance application; host operating system integration is not a necessity.
