Vmeter is another great product that you can bolt onto your Xsan from Vicom Systems. Vmeter allows you to get
statistics of bandwidth allocation for Xsan clients. But Vmeter doesn’t stop there. It also allows you to meter, or limit, the amount of bandwidth that is allocated to client machines, maximizing bandwidth for some users and tiering your performance allocation.
Vguard, also by Vicom Systems, is based on the technology included in Vmirror, the LUN mirroring solution, but goes a step further. Vguard allows you to setup another Xsan and use that SAN as a backup. We’re not going to go so far as to call it a snapshot, but it’s everything but.
Overall, Vicom integrates well with Xsan and fills some of the holes that the product itself has. For more information on Vmeter, Vguard or Vmirror, contact your 318 account manager today.
