StoreAge’s SVM dramatically reduces the cost of SAN storage and SAN storage management by centralizing the provisioning, performance optimization and protection of storage across heterogeneous hosts and storage devices. Key business advantages of SVM include more efficient utilization of SAN resources, simplified management of disparate storage assets, data replication for enhanced business continuity, accelerated application testing and deployment, online data restores and non-disruptive backup to both disk and tape.

BrightStor Portal, a key element of CA’s vision of "Managing Storage without Boundaries," provides a single-point-of-management for the controlling and monitoring of data, applications and storage subsystems, including large-scale Storage Area Network environments. It also provides practical, customizable reporting capabilities that help ensure optimized administration of storage assets across the enterprise.

The combination of StoreAge’s SVM and CA’s BrightStor Portal empowers customers to select the best storage hardware and software solutions for their specific needs while consolidating the management of these resources into a single unified interface. StoreAge’s SVM presents a centralized view of all virtualized storage pools and volumes. BrightStor Portal uses this information to provide cross-platform discovery and consolidated reporting for storage resources and applications. This integration facilitates an environment that enables seamless consolidated management and dynamic provisioning of all heterogeneous SAN storage.
