We have money ear-marked for this product. We are waiting for the next release
which hopefully will start accumulation of server process statistics and
tape/tape drive utilization, etc. We capture this same data today and I have
shown sterling our scripts and access database which tracks this info - which is
published to our internal web site.
When we looked at the product a year ago, they were showing us features for the
current release. From what I saw, the features made it into the current
release. I hope they do as well with server processes, etc.
We need a trending and forecasting tool like this (and throw away the home grown
stuff). But, hey, we also need SAN a heck of alot more.

Subject: Re: SAMS vantage
chris, i was very interested in sams for adsm, but my cheap
management balked at the discounted price. i am now
trying to get some trending answers and coding in perl.
(in management's eyes, we are saving money since my time doesnt
show up on the same books). i too would like to hear some
dialog so that i can utilize it in an "...i told you so..." mode.
