SAN Healthcheck and Scan Service

Storage Area Networks (SANs) are the backbone for the rapid, uninhibited delivery of data to applications. As such, continuous SAN availability is a critical requirement for the business success in many market segments.

The SAN HealthCheck and Scan Service assures the health of key SAN infrastructure components and identifies potential problem areas before they impact the business.

The service addresses the physical layer of your SAN infrastructure. The service surveys all levels of connectivity to identify Fibre Channel communication issues and likely sources of performance problems and infrastructure failure.

By identifying the root cause of performance and infrastructure problems, the FC Fabric Analysis service improves the infrastructure availability, performance, and SAN resource utilization.
