NeoPath Networks, a leading provider of network file management (NFM) solutions announced that Angelica Corporation has selected and installed NeoPath Fileyzer to monitor and perform actionable storage optimization analysis in order to help the company maximize their storage utilization, minimize management costs and reduce complexity in their existing storage environments.
Fileyzer is a Windows-based solution that allows storage administrators to analyze data on file servers and NAS devices using a graphical, on-demand presentation.
"NeoPath Fileyzer provides the core capabilities required to easily monitor our storage environment," said Dan Webber, Vice President, Information Technology, Angelica Corporation. "The data is presented in a useful, actionable form with easy-to-read, graphical file storage maps that provide us with output clearly showing us how to optimize our storage utilization and performance."
As a leading provider of textile and linen rental to the healthcare market, Angelica Corporation compiles a large amount of information each month in over 30 remote service centers; this has driven very rapid data growth.
Angelica required a tool that could not only search out and identify usage data on the files, but provide immediate context as to where the file was stored. Fileyzer provides Angelica with a graphical and interactive presentation of this data along with the ability to perform "what-if" file analyses, and allows them to see what their data structure would look like if potential optimizations were performed.
