NTP Software QFS for NASTM, NetApp® Edition
SEAMLESS CONTROL OF FILER-HOSTED STORAGE
Network Appliance Filers provide a cost-effective way to add large
volumes of networked storage into an environment. Once these valuable
storage resources have been added, the question quickly becomes: how
do I manage it?
NTP Software QFS for NAS provides a seamless way to integrate the management
of NAS-based storage with the management of pre-existing Windows storage.
QFS for NAS provides the functionality to create policies that control
the manner in which storage is consumed via file screening and disk
quota policies. These policies are deployed within a proprietary architecture
designed to provide a cost-effective way to manage large amounts of
storage. QFS for NAS maximizes the return on storage investment by providing
the ability to control user-based storage consumption in enterprise
NAS environments.
QFS for NAS has the flexibility to set policies per share, directory,
user, or group on Filers and vFilers. Each of these policies can communicate
with users via email and popups. Messages are also linked to an on-line
help site that fully explains the message and provides users with guidance,
advice, and - if you want - storage management tools, designed to reduce
the end user community's need to contact the help desk.
