Maestro: Discover

Discover all your file share resources

For most enterprises, the battle to discover, report, and manage unstructured data is growing at an accelerating rate. Email, presentations, and other unstructured data is exploding. Storage of duplicate files is intensifying the problem. Storage managers will admit “they don’t know what they don’t know” about their file system environment. Yet, as much as they want to know, most enterprises lack the time, staff, and resources to implement expensive, agent-based, reporting tools which can be intrusive and disruptive.

Attune Systems’ Maestro File Manager provides a cost-effective, agent-less tool to help companies quickly gain valuable insight into their file system environment so they can effectively understand, manage, and anticipate trends.

Maestro allows comprehensive reporting and analysis across all heterogeneous file systems in the enterprise. Storage administrators can learn how their file servers and file systems are performing over time by looking at metrics such as CPU utilization, memory utilization, and throughput. In addition, data access patterns such as data of last access or frequency of access, as well as duplicate data, can be analyzed to optimize and efficiently manage file share resources. After storage administrators quickly and easily gain insight into their file systems trends, they can add selected files to the virtual namespace and gradually adapt Maestro’s other file virtualization capabilities.

Overtime, administrators can use the power of Maestro to implement cost-effective and flexible storage tiers in order to get the highest and best use of high-end NAS filers. Enterprises can not only establish a well-balanced storage environment that matches data with the appropriate storage devices, but also implement policies to automatically be a watch-dog on the file system and enforce polices in real time. You can count on Maestro to unlock more value from your existing storage resources.
