SANity Checks

Do you really know the current status of your storage infrastructure?

Are all the configurations in your SAN doing what they should be?

Is that critical 24/7/365 production server really able to manage a path fail-over in your resilient SAN fabric?

Are those storage arrays and their respective RAID groups actually configured for optimal performance?

Is the storage being provisioned residing on the correct tier of disk at the right time, all the time?

Do you have a holistic view of your current infrastructure?

SANWEAVER provides the piece of mind to answer these and MANY MORE questions, by providing our in-depth, top- down, SANity Check.

The SANity Check is a rapid response, non-disruptive assessment, which provides you with a final report of how your storage infrastructure is configured, any gaps found during the analysis, accompanied by a visual representation of your infrastructure. Closing comments provide any recommendations and "next steps" moving forward.

Topical SANity

The Topical SANity is usually a two to three day assessment which collects all pertinent information about your storage infrastructure and aligns it to a topical visual overview of what things look like from an altitude overview.

Many organizations utilize the Topical SANity, to look at ways to restructure, optimize and expand their current SAN, while providing a top-down view of what their storage infrastructure looks like.

Each organization has a different infrastructure including the number of switches, number of SAN hosts and the storage array(s) provisioning storage. As such, each assessment will have different LOE ( Level Of Effort) to complete the deliverable to you. After the initial consultation, a secured estimate will be provided, with no additional cost above that which you are quoted. Contact us today, for a no cost, no obligation initial consultation.

In-Depth SANity

The In-Depth SANity assessment includes everything in the Topical SANity, as well as a deep dive into the core of the fabric, providing an interconnect mapping, port configuration breakdown, initiator-to-target path structure matrix as well as findings and recommendations.

In-Depth SANity assessments typically take 3-5 days of effort depending on the infrastructure size and the enabling tools available at the client site.

Entire SANity

The Entire SANity, includes everything in the Topical and In-Depth SANity, as well as full LUN and RAID structure analysis from the storage array(s), full host-level configuration analysis and full HA (High-Availability) SAN mapping and analysis from the initator, through the fabric, to the host systems. Entire SANity also captures any DR (Disaster Recovery) information and analyzes it for gaps in the architecture, while capturing optimization and overall improvement opportunities.

As the Entire SANity is an in-depth assessment, including fabric switch code analysis, this exercise can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks, depending on the size of the infrastructure and the complexity of the architecture currently in place.

Each organization has a different infrastructure including the number of switches, number of SAN hosts and the storage array(s) provisioning storage, not to mention complex BC/DR enabling technologies. As such, each assessment will have different LOE ( Level Of Effort) to complete the deliverable to you.
