FlashView is a powerful and flexible management utility for monitoring high-performance FlashDisk storage products. Whether you are a corporate IT manager or system administrator, you can keep a close eye on all your storage from anywhere on the network with an easy to use embedded GUI utility.
FlashDisk storage systems can be configured from one central location, saving you precious storage management time. Optimum system performance and data availability is maintained with FlashView features like remote management over the Internet, event logging and notification, and constant FlashDisk data storage monitoring.
Remote Management
Using your existing IP network, FlashView provides unlimited remote access to your storage system via an easy-to-use web-based browser interface. FlashView allows you to centrally control FlashDisk parameters for each RAID array such as partition size, mapping, and drive rebuilds.
Constant FlashDisk Monitoring
FlashView is constantly checking the FlashDisk for connectivity loss. It also checks the FlashDisk heartbeat to ensure that the controller is working properly. If a connectivity problem is detected or if FlashDisk detects a component failure, an e-mail notification is automatically sent The failure information is captured in an event log in non-volatile memory that persists through array reboots. FlashView keeps constant vigil over your valuable information when you’re not around, saving you time for more productive tasks.
Event Logging & Notification
FlashView provides an event log with the time and date. Each FlashView instance can be individually configured to store messages and to alert a network manager or system administrator of a potential problem. If a problem occurs, FlashView sends an e-mail notification to “e-mail enabled” cell phones, pagers, or PDAs based on specific user-defined criteria to multiple recipients per FlashDisk. For example, one FlashDisk could be configured to e-mail only the technician on call while another e-mails to a list of multiple recipients. This alert notification system eliminates threats to your data availability by allowing the right individuals to react to potential problems immediately.
FlashAlert™ “Call Home” Service
As part of our continuing effort to provide the best customer service, Winchester Systems includes a 24x7 “FlashAlert” data storage monitoring service that is included in the warranty and service contracts at no additional cost that captures the “call home” e-mail alerts. These e-mail alerts automatically open up a job ticket in our call center and set a plan in motion immediately to eliminate costly downtime.
