MonoSphere, Inc. is announcing today the release of Storage Horizon 2.2, a new version of its storage capacity planning software.
According to MonoSphere, Storage Horizon 2.2 maintains an agent less architecture and collects storage usage data from Linux, Unix and Windows servers using standard protocols such SSH (Secure Shell) and WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation).
The new version adds a Storage Planner module that allows users to forecast the amount and type of storage needed in future months. The reports created using Storage Planner will support more informed decisions about purchasing additional storage devices, the company explains.
Among other improvements, Storage Horizon 2.2 offers differentiated user roles and guidelines on correctly interpreting storage use trends.
Storage Horizon 2.2 is available immediately. The company indicates a license cost per TB of storage managed ranging between $500 and $1,500.
