Dorado releases Redcell storage commander

FOLSOM, CA, USA: Dorado Software, a provider of infrastructure lifecycle management software, announced the release of Redcell Storage Commander. The storage commander is a management product that provides automated configuration and management solution for both iSCSI and fibre channel SANs. 

Redcell storage commander is a new addition to Redcell v6.1 portfolio of comprehensive data centre automation solutions for managing servers, storage, networks and software patches that supports both physical and virtualised infrastructure.

Redcell commander is a fully integrated add-on product to Redcell OpsCenter - the foundation for Redcell's deep discovery, CMDB inventory and advanced monitoring of devices, interfaces and services.

It is also fully integrated with all Redcell enterprise products, including Redcell network commander for comprehensive change and configuration management. The integration offers a single pane of glass view into the datacenter which allows for quick problem resolution without the use of multiple point tools.

It also offers power and flexibility to manage storage via a customisable permission-based graphical user interface (GUI). For instance, the connectivity data, when synchronised with asset data in the CMDB, creates a complete picture of the IT infrastructure that can be represented in highly customisable reports or via a topology view.

Pradrag Spasic, systems and storage product manager,  Dorado Software, said: "Redcell storage commander, when used in conjunction with Redcell network commander, is the only product on the market that provides end-to-end infrastructure visibility and control of both IP and fibre channel-based SANs in physical and virtualised environments.

The key benefits of Redcell storage commander are to reduce operational expenses, increase storage and interconnect device utilisation, enlarge storage and SAN availability, quickly resolve problems, and standardise change and compliance monitoring process.

Redcell storage commander's configuration capabilities include zoning, VSANs, storage pools, and storage volumes including masking and mapping. All configuration tasks can be performed either ad-hoc, as scheduled or through event triggered automated actions, which further increases operational efficiency by reducing error risk for day-to-day configuration actions.
