SANworks TM Network View by Compaq is a SAN management application providing a consolidation point for storage network visualization, monitoring
and configuration. SAN devices, their Fibre Channel interconnects, and associated status are automatically discovered and represented in an intuitive
topographical display. SAN device management is made easy by double clicking on a device icon. System performance bottlenecks are identified for
proactive resolution and planning. A Java based design allows remote SAN management from any Web browser. SANworks Network View is easily
installed on the Management Appliance and because it is an appliance application; host operating system integration is not a necessity.
