Storage Monitoring

Gain a unified visibility on your entire san infrastructure.

Overview

Storage Monitoring by Sentry Software monitors the health and performance of all SAN components to help administrators diagnose any availability issue. The backup hardware infrastructure, the backup applications, and the backup servers can also be monitored to early detect backup and restore problems.

Customer Testimonials

Sentry's storage solution has become a crucial part of our infrastructure. We are notified as soon as a problem occurs and our IT team is usually able to rectify the issue before our customers are impacted.

We've been able to get rid of a multitude of vendor-branded storage monitoring tools and replace them with just one solution. It's a big gain!

Even if storage is not always the cause of a performance bottleneck, it's often viewed as such, so it is crucial to have a tool that helps us determine the root cause of a problem.
