EMC SRM vs. Sentinel Navigator - Deep dive
- 1. SRM Evalua*on A deep comparison of 2 products generally associated when customers are looking for Capacity repor*ng, Datacenter Management, Storage op*miza*on and Cost avoidance. Objec*ve is to beFer understand the major differences between the 2 products in 10 bullets. Sen*nel Navigator The Storage Resource Management GUI that consume data from Sen*nel SDS Access SaaS plaOorm by WebService. VS SRM Suite The Storage Resource Management soRware based on a tradi*onal Agent/Server architecture
- 2. Typical architecture In order to be the most objec*ve as possible we are going to compare all SRM aspects of the 2 solu*ons based on the same customer plaOorm/requirements : • Mul*-‐datacenter topology • >40 heterogeneous storage arrays (SAN/NAS/CAS) • >500 dual aFached SAN hosts • At least 1 virtualiza*on engine (SVC/V7000/vPLEX/VSP) • >30 FC switchs (Brocade/Cisco) with Virtual Fabric/vSAN • >3 VMware vCenter – >500 VMware virtual machines/vCenter • >5 Daily tasks that requires to know how much free space is remaining • a BOSS always reques*ng reports to forecast
