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.

ArchiverFS
ArchiverFS is a lightweight file archiving solution for servers and network storage that lets you use any NAS, SAN, or cloud platform as second-tier storage. With no databases or proprietary formats, it runs on pure NTFS from start to finish. Old, unused, or unstructured files can be moved in bulk from expensive primary storage to cheaper secondary devices while preserving directory structures, attributes, and permissions. If it can be formatted with NTFS and shared via a UNC path, ArchiverFS can use it. Features include support for cloud, DFS, replication, de-duplication, and compression. Optional link stubs (including seamless symbolic links) can be left in place of moved files, so users see them exactly as before. By reclaiming valuable space on primary storage without adding complexity, ArchiverFS helps organizations reduce costs, improve performance, and manage file growth with complete transparency.
