PerfectStorage

PerfectStorage, a huge time-saver for storage managers, is an intelligent storage management solution for thin-provisioned space reclamation that improves productivity, allows for better storage management and forecasting and delays future storage purchases.

Key Features:

• Smart Zero Fill or SCSI UNMAP Recover Free Space: PerfectStorage allows you to use exclusive Smart Zero Fill or SCSI UNMAP to reclaim space. PerfectStorage only reclaims clusters not already reclaimed, minimising storage activity and resource usage.
• PerfectStorage ESXi Host Reclaim: It works in conjunction with PerfectStorage to ensure that your valuable disk space can be reclaimed in VMware thin-provisioned environments.
• SDelete and Command Line Utilities: Existing zero-fill and SCSI UNMAP tools are manual and therefore prone to human error. Command line tools like SDelete are time consuming and resource-intensive, requiring applications to be shut down and system activities to be minimised before you can run them.
• StealthPatrol Automation: Automate space reclamation while your system is idle and set exclusions for days, times or while specific applications are running. PerfectStorage uses minimal resources and unlike SDelete, PerfectStorage does not require that you shut down other applications or minimise system activity in order for it to run.
• Centralised Management Console: Centrally deploy, configure and manage space reclamation with the PerfectStorage Enterprise Console on your physical and virtual servers. The PerfectStorage Enterprise Console quickly and easily identifies systems that can benefit from space reclamation.
