NASessor

Network Attached Storage (NAS) is at the heart of most companies un-structured file storage.  NAS file storage ranges from small one-box systems or Windows servers, to bigger systems like EMC VNX and NetApp.  Users often just ‘consume’ file storage with few controls or regard for what it costs.

Knowledge Is Key

Do you know what’s on your current NAS?

How many files have you got, and how much storage space is it taking up?

How much data are your users storing which they don’t really need to?

Do they need instant access to all of their files?  Would it matter if it took an extra fraction of a second to retrieve their less frequently-used files?

How It Works

NASessor scans your file system, and counts up every single file that it has access to.  For each file, it analyses the date it was last accessed (read or written), the size of the file (which may be crucial to some storage platforms) and the type of the file.

Assessment Reports

Once NASessor has completed its scan of your file system, NASessor will take the output files and produce a comprehensive assessment report, providing you with a clear picture of the data stored on your NAS – together with plain-English recommendations on how you may be able to improve performance or save money.
