Business Intelligence Network - The Vision for BI and Beyond

This paper provides an overview of Incipient Storage Administrator software as it relates to the Incipient Network Storage Platform (iNSP) software. iNSP is storage virtualization software that provides a suite of storage services for SANs. These services include non-disruptive data migration, provisioning, and copy services.

The paper also covers major feature sets such as deep discovery of storage and SAN components and provides a workflow example on storage provisioning.

The Incipient Storage Administrator tackles operational complexities head-on. Its SAN discovery and management utilities, in addition to its automated policy-based provisioning, greatly improve operational efficiency and reduce risk. Eliminating the manual processes associated with provisioning brings companies a step closer to fully automating their SAN environments, and the robust host- and storage array- independent management services offer a welcome opportunity to standardize on a single, centralized point of control.
