Introduced last year, HyperIQ gives enterprises and service providers a unified management view of their entire the company’s storage infrastructure, encompassing interconnected users, applications, network connections and storage devices. It provides intelligent monitoring, analytics and health checks that enable predictive maintenance, enhanced security and resource optimization. As a result, customers can reduce mean time to repair, increase availability and accelerate new deployments, thereby saving operational costs and making it easier to adapt to workload demands.
