SANscreen From NetApp to Manage Storage as an End-to-End IT Service

NetApp announced that the SANscreen product suite, which was acquired in the acquisition of Onaro, is now available through NetApp’s global sales and channel partner programs. In addition, the more than 100 current SANscreen customers will benefit from NetApp’s global 24×7 support organization.

SANscreen is an award-winning product suite that extends data center automation to storage with its real-time, heterogeneous, service-level views of the storage environment. SANscreen allows customers to manage storage as a true end-to-end IT service, which reduces capital and operational costs and improves application service quality. Furthermore, its actionable service-level information can be leveraged by both storage teams and non-technical storage users, effectively integrating storage into the entire IT service delivery chain.

"We have spent the last three months integrating SANscreen into NetApp product operations," said Patrick Rogers, vice president of Solutions Marketing for NetApp. "With the integration now complete, we are able to extend the capabilities of SANscreen to more customers worldwide through our global sales channels. Also, SANscreen customers will now be able to benefit from NetApp’s extensive support infrastructure."

The SANscreen product suite includes Service Insight, Service Assurance, Application Insight, Replication Assurance, Capacity Manager, Provisioning Manager, and VM Insight. SANscreen is currently in production in over 30% of Fortune 50 companies, including the world’s largest retailer, entertainment company, commercial bank, and health insurer. Customers have successfully scaled SANscreen to support environments from 500 to over 70,000 ports.
