E-Disk® SafeCapacity-Hotfile*
Load Balancing File Storage across Different Resources
Achieving and continuously maintaining optimum file I/O performance in mixed storage device systems was up to now a nearly unobtainable goal requiring enormous effort on the part of system administrators. In order to reach near perfect IOPS levels [input/output per second] enormous work was required to profile a system's file access times, much of which relied on speculative guesswork. After semi-determining which set of files belonged on what device and moving them to the correct location, applications still had to be re-configured in order to access the data at the new location requiring additional effort on the part of system administrators. |

Even more frustrating was that once systems were tuned such that they met a very high level of file system efficiency they would only sustain that performance plateau by remaining static, which was of course unrealistic as change is inevitable.
Achieving Optimum file I/O performance with Hot File Identifier
Effectively managing different types of disk subsystems and increasing complex data sets such that a constant high-level of file system I/O performance is maintained in now achievable with hot files identifier E-Disk® SafeCapacity-Hotfile*. This hot file software tool is able to identify the most active files known as hot files in a system, by name and location through monitoring individual file I/O rates, rather than looking at disk utilization rate. This allows database and system administrators to positively identify every file causing an I/O bottleneck quickly and efficiently with 100% accuracy.
Optimize storage systems by moving hot files to E-Disk® flash disks
E-Disk® SafeCapacity-Hotfile* saves time and money for your organization by optimizing your storage after identifying the files on a system that are most often accessed and causing high I/O usage. E-Disk® SafeCapacity-Hotfile* eliminates these bottlenecks by transparently migrating hot files to faster devices such as solid-state storage without having to reconfigure any application. This results in the immediate elimination of all I/O bottlenecks, increasing the I/O characteristics and average access times for your system E-Disk® SafeCapacity-Hotfile*. E-Disk® Hotfile is an extension of E-Disk® SafeCapacity that provides the industry-leading solution for automatic storage management.
The fact that files are relocated to secondary devices is completely unobservable to both users and applications. The appearance and attributes of the files remain the same, while access to these files is transparently redirected to the advanced storage device without any performance degradation. Users achieve the exact performance of the device on which their files reside. This allows E-Disk® SafeCapacity Hot File to provide users with high-performance, reliable, and efficient data management ensuring the highest I/O bandwidth and data availability.
Optimize Storage across Vendor Boundaries
Storage devices from different vendors have widely varying performance, capabilities and cost. Until now, users have not been able to optimize storage across vendor boundaries. E-Disk® SafeCapacity solves this problem by allowing users to establish storage classes and automatically relocating data based on user-defined policies. As a result, more critical and frequently used data, hot files, are stored on faster, high availability disks and less critical data are routed to slower, less costly disks. E-Disk® SafeCapacity provides a new level of storage optimization never before achievable!
Automated Capacity Management Saves Time and Cost
E-Disk® SafeCapacity-Hotfile* hot file identifier increases user control of desperate storage devices by decreasing the need to over provision storage resources on individual systems. As opposed to management by crisis, E-Disk® SafeCapacity-Hotfile* automatically notifies system administrators when thresholds reach a defined level and takes corrective action immediately, while your applications are still up and running, E-Disk® SafeCapacity-Hotfile* allows you to address capacity issues at your leisure. E-Disk® SafeCapacity-Hotfile* reduces IT spending and exposure to down time through policy-based capacity management. This solution enables employees to be more productive by allowing them to focus on other critical tasks.
Efficient Use of Storage Resources Reclaims 20% of Available Storage
E-Disk® SafeCapacity-Hotfile's Storage Resource Optimization features help you overcome your storage crisis with patent-pending technology that enables optimization of your existing storage resources through automated capacity management. The use of policy-based file relocation and/or compression allows more data files to be stored online. Additionally, E-Disk® SafeCapacity-Hotfile* can leverage your existing storage resources and limit the requirement to over provision. Hot file identifier E-Disk® SafeCapacity-Hotfile* can reclaim at least 20% of your existing storage availability and reduce the growth rate of your storage needs.
Scaling Across All Storage Architectures
Interoperability and compatibility in heterogeneous environments are keys to successful enterprise-wide storage management. E-Disk® SafeCapacity Hot File is compatible with all data storage architectures: Network Attached Storage (NAS), Solid State Disk (SSD), Storage Area Network (SAN), SCSI over IP (iSCSI) and Direct Attached Storage (DAS).
