We (IT) monitor two EMC SANs for performance and capacity. One is production, the other is remote office production and DR. SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM) gives us a historical view of capacity and latency, with the ability to alert on metrics, including customizing alerts. All alert management is centralized in the Orion interface so there's no separate alert management for SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM).

SolarWinds Storage Resource Manager was part of our strategy to answer the question "But isn't our storage fast enough?" or "If our storage frame were to fail, what would the impact be?" SRM, though primarily used by our Storage team, was instrumental in giving our DR team and our CMDB team the insights they needed to handle performance planning, DR planning, and what we called Infrastructure Lineage.

We have a wide variety of Dell SANS across our estate, ranging from Dell EqualLogics, Compellents and MD (FC and iSCSI) shelves. We recently purchased the SRM module for Orion to integrate with Solarwinds DPA and NPM. Its made a huge difference in terms of visibility and linking up with performance issues from storage.

This is only being used by our IT Department. We use it to monitor our storage for performance issues as well as plan ahead for expansion. It helps us find out if certain systems need to be moved to faster storage arrays.

SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor allows us to see at a glance all of the metrics that are available on our storage devices. Without this tool we would either have to connect to the CLI and look for specific things or build scripts and custom dashboards on our own. This makes monitoring and reviewing much easier.

We use the SolarWinds virtualization suite and storage resource manager for monitoring our environment. It is currently used by our managed services to monitor, create, troubleshoot, and assign tickets. It is also used by our network team to monitor endpoints. It is a great monitoring tool and statistical basis for our troubleshooting and engineering teams to get involved with problems as seen across the environment.
