SAN Performance Monitoring

Improve SAN performance with comprehensive monitoring

Automate SAN storage capacity planning

SolarWinds® Storage Resource Monitor (SRM) provides the automated storage capacity planning you need. Designed to track usage over time and identify capacity issues within an array, SRM helps simplify the SAN storage capacity planning process across your virtual and physical infrastructure.

With centralized access to growth trends, key storage metrics, and a forecast of when capacity will be reached, you can gain a deeper understanding of your storage needs, effectively plan when to add or re-allocate capacity, and feel confident making new storage purchases as you expand your SAN. Having these valuable insights into storage management across the enterprise helps you more easily forecast for storage capacity planning and business continuity decisions.

Gain a comprehensive view of SAN performance

With SRM as your SAN monitoring tool, you can gain visual overviews of your storage performance, allowing you to more easily monitor multiple arrays with a single dashboard, drill deeper into storage performance problems, view space consumption on storage arrays, RAID groups, and LUNs, and discover opportunities for optimization.

Gain deeper visibility across SAN infrastructure layers with AppStack. This powerful view is built to give you instant visibility into solution layers and can allow you to see VMs and applications dependent on any storage element when combined with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor, Virtualization Manager, and Web Performance Monitor.

Never miss a beat with SRM alerting system and centralized reports

A SAN monitoring tool that provides alerting solutions can help you notice and address SAN issues before the end user does. With SRM as your SAN tool, you can customize warning and critical alert threshold levels for all your storage resources in your environment. For instance, receive alerts about performance problems related to overloaded LUNs or RAID groups.

SRM offers pre-designed and custom reports to help users quickly organize and understand their SAN performance monitoring data. Useful templates include Top 10 LUNs by latency, storage pool utilization, enterprise capacity summary, free LUN report, storage asset info details, and more. Easily schedule, export, or email reports as needed.

Get to the root of storage issues quickly with a SAN monitoring tool

The integrated, detailed dashboards in SRM are built to help you seamlessly navigate across layers of storage and easily locate root causes of storage performance issues. With a detailed dashboard dedicated to SAN storage monitoring, you can quickly view crucial information about SAN performance and health. You can easily check metrics like latency, throughput, IOPS, and IO size. You can also focus on the relevant time, helping you identify performance bottlenecks in your storage infrastructure and troubleshoot faster.

Drilling down to determine root cause is easy with the user-friendly dashboards in SRM. CheckStorage Summary dashboard to see current alerts for storage objects that SolarWinds is monitoring. You can access any object’s details page, giving you visibility into the object’s metrics and allowing you to start troubleshooting right away.
