Critical conditions are escalated through email/SMS to storage administrators.

OpStor collects performance data on well-defined KPIs for storage devices & interconnects and depicts them as graphs for visual tracking. OpStor generates reports on device utilization, availability, Disk/Volume Utilization Trends, etc. Top-N reports are provided for comparing relative performance of devices.

OpStor easily integrates device's element managers by launching them from OpStor browser client. Also device telnet is tunneled from OpStor client securely. Also, it can integrate with other NMS systems.

OpStor is easy to install & use with a rich web-based UI. OpStor is designed with focus on storage administrators' day-to-day monitoring needs. Above all, it is priced attractively from entry level to large enterprises.
