SanLife Interface
For clients with a need for frequent SAN audits, the SanLife Interface offers access to a dashboard allowing them to audit their arrays at any time with the simple click of a button. This SanLife solution is being purchased either as a license (with unlimited usage) or on case-by-case basis (pay per click).
All data collected in the SanLife Audit is accessible to the SAN administrator in a matter of a few seconds. Some additional interactive SAN management tools such as a LUN/MetaLUN simulator and a Raid Migrator are tremendous time savers to simulate changes in the array.
