Open iT StorageAnalyzer™
Open iT StorageAnalyzer™ monitors and analyzes disk, file system, and backup usage to help organizations optimize storage resources and reduce IT costs. It identifies unused, stale, or unnecessary data that can be deleted or moved to lower-cost storage tiers by tracking file age and activity. Detailed reports broken down by user, project, department, business unit, and file type give administrators clear visibility into exactly where storage is being consumed and by whom. StorageAnalyzer™ also supports accurate IT chargeback by attributing storage costs based on actual measured usage rather than flat-rate estimates. By surfacing capacity trends and bottlenecks across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments, it enables proactive storage management, prevents unexpected capacity issues, and supports better planning for future storage investments.

AWS Storage Gateway
AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud storage service that gives you on-premises access to virtually unlimited cloud storage. Customers use Storage Gateway to simplify storage management and reduce costs for key hybrid cloud storage use cases. These include moving tape backups to the cloud, reducing on-premises storage with cloud-backed file shares, providing low latency access to data in AWS for on-premises applications, as well as various migration, archiving, processing, and disaster recovery use cases. To support these use cases, the service provides three different types of gateways – Tape Gateway, File Gateway, and Volume Gateway – that seamlessly connect on-premises applications to cloud storage, caching data locally for low-latency access. Your applications connect to the service through a virtual machine or hardware gateway appliance using standard storage protocols, such as NFS, SMB, and iSCSI.
