San Sentinel Seeking UK Partners

San Sentinel SAS, in SRM software which uses the cloud and relies on the SaaS model and is independent from storage arrays manufacturers, will showcase its Sentinel Navigator software suite at the Cloud World Forum 2013.

The company is seeking UK-based business partners; the Forum takes place from 26 to 27 June, in London .

San Sentinel publishes SRM software that can be used in the cloud, while relying on the SaaS model. The company will display its main product Sentinel Navigator  at the fifth Cloud World Forum, to be held at the Olympia exhibition hall, in Central London, from 26 to 27 June.

Mike Uzan, CTO, San Sentinel, explains: "By creating a technological break in traditional SRM tools, San Sentinel offers a solution that complies with the economic constraints of the storage market. Sentinel Navigator has been designed to answer the needs of companies that wish to have control of storage costs in order to maintain the competitiveness of their organisations."

San Sentinel, with the support of Coface, a trade-risk expert and in credit insurance, is looking for partners in the UK; the trade show for the cloud-computing sector represents an opportunity in this respect.

San Sentinel will also give visitors a complete audit of their businesses  storage infrastructures in a few minutes. In order to benefit from this opportunity, visitors should download the collection script from San Sentinel’s website and generate the file, which will then be integrated into the dedicated cloud SRM platform.

Companies wishing to benefit from this audit should bring a USB stick containing the generated files to San Sentinel s stand. In real time, San Sentinel’s dashboard will provide information enabling the companies to assess the cost-effectiveness afforded by the combination of their storage equipment with their operational processes.

San Sentinel will also exhibit Sentinel Navigator, a solution that offers SRM thanks to cloud technology. This product provides IT agility by offering services based on a pay-as-you-use model.

Sentinel Navigator analyses systems  infrastructure, topology and cartography, while providing an audit of the complete set of SAN components. This data is accessible thanks to a user-friendly interface, which is based on innovative internet technologies and is included in the basic parameters of the infrastructure-management software.

This software provides its user with a status breakdown of switches, but also of the servers which are connected to the storage. The key functionalities include an analysis of the existing stock, provisional or capacity planning, chargeback per application or business, as well as reporting and access to the development history on a regular basis. The SRM tool integrates storage architectures such as SAN, NAS, CAS for ISCSI, IP, and FC protocols.

Sentinel Navigator is available for EMC, Symmetrix, VNX, Celera, Clariion and Centera storage bays; for IBM Storwize SVC/V7000; for HP 3PAR; and, finally, with Brocade, Cisco and VMWare vCenter switches.
