Datafy enables organizations to efficiently manage their cloud storage expenses by automating the optimization of Amazon EBS volumes through constant monitoring and right-sizing, ensuring that payments reflect actual usage. The platform offers insights into volume utilization, implements policy-driven resizing without any downtime or need for manual adjustments, and fosters ongoing savings by dynamically modifying capacity and pinpointing underused or inactive volumes. It follows a structured three-step process: first, it scrutinizes the storage environment for inefficiencies; next, it enhances performance by automatically adjusting volumes according to usage trends; and finally, it ensures continuous savings by keeping a streamlined storage footprint. By seamlessly integrating with current cloud infrastructures, Datafy operates in the background to simplify storage management, minimize waste, and uphold operational uptime. Customers have reported significant reductions in costs while leveraging Datafy, with the setup process being notably straightforward and efficient. This ease of use allows businesses to focus on their core operations while benefiting from optimized storage solutions.

xiRAID represents a cutting-edge RAID solution tailored for the demands of contemporary storage architectures, especially those leveraging NVMe and NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF) technologies. This innovative approach eliminates the need for conventional hardware RAID controllers, opting instead for a software-centric model that not only enhances performance but also reduces overall ownership costs and increases operational flexibility. It accommodates both locally connected drives and networked NVMe devices, functioning as a cohesive block device accessible to applications without requiring any changes. Designed to reach performance levels close to hardware capabilities, xiRAID employs sophisticated methods such as I/O parallelization and a lockless datapath, achieving impressive throughput rates of up to 150 GB/s, handling up to 30 million IOPS, and maintaining latency under 0.5 ms, all while utilizing minimal CPU and memory resources. Supporting a diverse variety of RAID configurations, including levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, and 70, it integrates seamlessly with existing file systems through compatibility with POSIX APIs. Ultimately, xiRAID stands out as a versatile and efficient solution, poised to meet the evolving needs of data-intensive applications.

Storage Resource Monitor, previously Storage Resource Manager, provides a comprehensive multi-vendor storage performance and capacity monitoring software solution. Storage Resource Monitor is powerful and scalable. It provides intuitive dashboards, charts, and reports that facilitate troubleshooting and diagnosis. The solution allows users to map their physical SAN environment (LUNs), to the virtual machines in their VMware infrastructure. This helps them identify resource bottlenecks, contention issues, and other issues across virtual and stored environments. The core features include multi-vendor storage management, automated storage capacity planning and storage performance monitoring, as well as storage environment reporting and prebuilt alerts.
