For most technology products available today, simplicity and ease of use are some of the top priorities for customers considering purchasing the product. For Dell Unity storage systems, Unisphere management addresses these priorities by providing an easy to use and simplified management interface for IT generalists, while at the same time providing advanced features for more adept storage administrators. Unisphere allows administrators to easily configure storage resources from their Dell Unity systems to meet the needs of their applications, hosts, and users, as shown in Figure 1.
The Unisphere provisioning workflows simplify management by using best practices and recommended default values, which help to optimize system performance and minimize the overall costs of using and maintaining the system. Unisphere can easily identify failed/faulted components through graphical representations of the system and offers a wide range of Dell support options directly from the user interface, to assist troubleshooting.
For information about other management interfaces, such as the Unisphere CLI and REST API, see the corresponding sections later in this paper.
