Northern Storage Suite is a Storage Resource Management solution;
a software solution that targets the costs and complexities of managing stored data.
The fundamental goals of all Storage Resource
Management policies is to ensure that storage related costs are
minimized and that mission-critical data can always be stored and
retrieved. How these large-scale goals can be subsequently broken
down to form a practical strategy is the central challenge; the
central challenge that Northern Storage Suite is engineered to
overcome.
Northern Storage Suite breaks SRM down
into four goals; elimination of wasteful storage usage, controlling
the behavior that caused this misuse,
facilitating a pro-active mind-set among users and providing
the time and data required for methodical network development.
For close to a decade, Northern has taken
the lead in delivering real-world, market driven storage solutions.

Manage and Control Storage Growth
- One of the largest contributors to uncontrolled storage growth
and inappropriate use of storage resources is end users' careless
storage habits. Many users have grown accustomed to using company
resources to store whatever data, whenever they choose without limits
or controls. As a result, administrators are burdened with escalated
storage demand, increased IT management, and longer backup windows.
Northern Storage Suite provides automated quota management
capabilities that enable administrators to control storage growth
by limiting disk consumption on individual users, files, folders
or partitions. Administrators can allocate a maximum amount of space
a user can take up and automatically enforce these quotas with minimal
IT management needed. This enables administrators to control storage
growth while getting users involved in managing and purging their
own storage.
Benefits:

- Enforce end-users to manage their own storage
- Ensure storage resources are used for most critical business files
- Enhance Backup and Recovery Speeds
