6.4. File Server Recourse Manager
With the increasing demand on storage resources, as organizations rely
more heavily on data than ever before, IT administrators face the challenge
of overseeing a larger and more complex storage infrastructure, while at the
same time, tracking the kind of information available in it. Today, managing
storage resources not only includes data size and availability but also the
enforcement of company policies and a very good understanding of how
existing storage is being used, allowing for sound strategic planning and
proper response to organizational changes.
File Server Resource Manager is a suite of tools that allows administrators to
understand, control, and manage the quantity and type of data stored on
their servers. By using File Server Resource Manager, administrators can
place quotas on volumes, actively screen files and folders, and generate
comprehensive storage reports. This set of advanced instruments not only
helps the administrator to efficiently monitor existing storage resources, but it
also aids in the planning and implementation of future policy changes.
By using File Server Resource Manager, you can perform the following
tasks:
• Create quotas to limit the space allowed for a volume or folder and
generate notifications when the quota limits are approached or
exceeded.
• Automatically generate and apply quotas to all existing folders and
any new subfolders in a volume or folder.
• Create file screens to control the type of files that users can save
and send notifications when users attempt to save blocked files.
• Define quota and file screening templates that can be easily applied
to new volumes or folders and reused across an organization.
• Schedule periodic storage reports that help identify trends in disk
usage.
• Monitor attempts to save unauthorized files for all users or for a
selected group of users.
• Generate storage reports instantly, on demand.
