Lager - the Lumenate Advanced Graphing Engine and Repository

There have been a number of charts on our blog over the years documenting different analyses that we've done.  Each chart was bespoke, meaning that we created it for a specific need and determined what to display on an as-needed basis.

Many of these charts are for HDS arrays with key performance indicators. Over the last year we've developed a tool that allows us to automatically create charts for these metrics, make them available in a central repository, and deliver this information in a usable fashion to our customers.

The tool is called Lager and I give a brief overview of it below.  If it's something that you are interested in, please reach out to your Lumenate representative.

A New Definition for Enterprise Storage

A key challenge as Lumenate has grown over the last three years is making sure that the entire organization understands what we sell, where it fits, and our internal technical assessment of each product.  That's a lot of information and requires that we engage in some simplifications.
