Great features that allow for supervision of storage, management of users and driver-related updates
It needs to be segregated if you compare the EMC storage with HP and IBM. We have to identify the reliability of the fiber channel ports. If this can be improved, it will be better for the end-user. There are issues if you manage through the sensory in the fiber channel. We want to be able to manage things like storage, hosting, details about the mount point, and how much IOP is collapsed to which host in any single console. In addition, it will help us to identify and segregate the issues blocks.

Provides a visual representation and drill down into your environment.
Scalability is my sore spot. With the way they use nodes and count nodes, it’s very easy to blow well past your license amount. I have, for example, a 150 node license, of which I am monitoring 337 nodes. However, only 150 are actually monitored, so I have to do a lot to try to find the right applications to monitor. Since the next level for licensing is 500/700 or something like that, I simply haven’t been able to afford the bump up. I simply need a much higher license level than I have. However, the cost is too much and they lack the flexibility in allowing you a smaller step up. It goes from, say 150 nodes to 500. There is no 250 or 300, for example. Would I find applications to monitor, with the selection from Windows, Linux, SQL, IIS, Active Director, and Exchange? You bet. For now, however, I have to be patient until I can justify the cost of the upgrade.
