Description
===========
_SANworks_ Storage Allocation Reporter is a web-based application used for
reporting and billing of storage and associated Quality Of Service (QOS)
reserved by customers in a SAN environment.
As part of Compaq's SAN Appliance solution, it provides IT managers with the
ability to recover costs associated with reserved storage and related
services in a heterogeneous environment of hosts and storage subsystems. It
provides IT managers with a leading-edge SAN management tool to report
allocated storage trends and costs, foresee problems and provide a cost
recovery method for quality of service delivered. _SANworks_ Storage
Allocation Manager automatically provides reporting and billing of allocated
LUN capacity from RAID-level storage subsystems and tracks levels of service
to bill against consumers.
