Dell Data Storage Monitoring and Reporting Tool that Helps Secure Critical Data

It’s not easy to find monitoring software that is flexible enough to adjust to your changing IT environment and meet new business needs as they arise. To secure Dell data storages from top to bottom, you need Dell tools that not only enable Dell data storage monitoring, but also help you comply with your organization's Dell data storage and file policies and data security controls. Is there a way to make a smart decision that won’t turn into a useless purchase you’ll regret later?

The disadvantages of many Dell data storage monitoring tools

Here’s what you need to consider when looking for Dell data storage tools to monitor your file storage more efficiently:

1. Ensure the monitoring solution provides the comprehensive detail you need to detect threats and answer auditors’ questions. A number of storage monitoring solutions fail to provide the details required by auditors, which can result in compliance failures, as well as potential security holes.
2. Take a close look at how scalable the monitoring solution is. As your organization acquires new units or expands to accommodate additional locations or responsibilities, you may be required to have Dell data storage auditing on file storage platforms you don’t currently have, or even platforms that don't exist yet. For instance, some monitoring tools are designed to audit Dell VNX or VNXe only, and are not compatible with Dell Isilon or Celerra, let alone platforms that may come on the market a year from now.
3. Evaluate what skills and how much time using the tool will require. Many file storage auditing solutions require specialized knowledge of how each particular storage facility logs events and stores data. On top of that, some of them require expertise in the specific technical details of Dell storage auditing.
4. Consider where the Dell data storage audit data will be stored after it is collected. After data has been collected from all the systems in your environment that store sensitive data, you need to keep that data securely. But it needs to be readily available for reporting, so you can manage your storage on an ongoing basis and provide reports detailing events from the past whenever an auditor knocks at your door.
