FileWizard
Storage
Analysis, Management & Graphical Reporting of network resources on Windows XP, Windows 200X, NetWare & UNIX NFS
Collecting
data about the network is one of the critical functions of proactive
network management. FileWizard 5 provides enterprise storage management
capabilities for Windows XP servers and workstations, Novell NetWare
networks, and UNIX servers running NFS. Administrators can view
and report to determine what kind of files are on the network, who
owns them, when they were last used, how big they are, and when
servers would run out of space. The storage data is gathered from
local and remote locations throughout the network and collected
in a centralized management location where it is analyzed, processed
and acted upon. This approach eliminates the requirement for qualified
people at each site, frees up IT personnel for other critical tasks,
lowers management time and the total cost of managing a network.
FileWizard 5 gives IT professionals the power to manage growing
storage requirements without throwing hardware at the problem.
Analyze
and Automate Action on Network Storage
Storage space can be viewed by drive, volume, owner, directory,
file extension, access date, create date, modify date, name, duplicate
files, size, compressed, folder files, folder folders, or folder
level. An analysis of a network can be created using a simple drag
and drop query builder that shows all query choices, which choices
have been selected, the location being analyzed in tree form, and
the results.
Once
the analysis is complete, FileWizard 5 provides several file management
actions: move, compress, uncompress, copy, rename, archive, e-mail,
and delete, to manage and maintain storage space. These actions
can be done manually or scheduled to occur at a desired time.
Graph
or Report the Results
Results can be displayed in graphs or reports that can be viewed
on screen, saved to a file, or printed. The view can be changed
from a graph to a report (or vice versa) on the fly. Multiple queries
and results can be viewed at the same time and compared. The graphs
and reports help pinpoint wasted or reclaimable storage space.
Forecast
Storage Requirements
FileWizard 5 allows administrators to look at network storage usage
to determine past growth rates and current available storage capacities.
FileWizard 5 charts the historical growth pattern allowing administrators
to then calculate future growth rate and capacity requirements.
The report will project when storage capacities will be full if
no action is taken.
