  • Reduce the amount of HBAs, FC cables, SAN ports and storage ports while concurrently improving application response time and overall availability
  • Simplify server FC I/O provisioning, enabling a more agile and scalable deployment model
  • Learn how to drive substantially higher utilization of existing assets
  • Identify FC SAN storage-related problems before they affect users
  • Reduce the time it takes for troubleshooting a FC SAN storage environment from days to minutes
  • Reduce the OPEX and CAPEX of existent FC SAN storage infrastructures by 50 percent or more, and still maintain performance and availability SLAs
