Dell Unisphere

Unisphere Introduction

Dell Unisphere is a web-based unified storage management layer for Dell PowerMax, Dell Unity and Dell Unity XT storage systems. It provides a simple, flexible, and integrated user experience. Information is consolidated and visible through a single lens and managing storage is simplified by providing an intuitive, context-based approach. Users can customize their view and easily reallocate data. Unisphere also provides users with an extensive network of support and collaboration with other users.

Who chooses Unisphere, and why?

Storage administrators can benefit from the consolidation and simplicity of Unisphere's next-generation user interface. Users are presented with more granular end-to-end storage information and can access virtual and physical systems. In addition, VMware vCenter administrators can leverage Unisphere's advanced integration through plug-ins and VMware vCenter APIs for array integration (VAAI) support. Unisphere is also scalable, fitting environments that require storage specialists or environments that require IT generalists.

How Unisphere works

Unisphere provides a flexible, integrated experience for managing, PowerMax, Unity and Unity XT storage systems as well as previous generation Dell unified storage-the VNX and VNXe series. This consolidated approach to storage management fosters simplicity, flexibility, and automation. Unisphere supplies storage administrators with intuitive task-based controls, customizable dashboards, and single-click access to real-time support tools and online customer communities.

Unisphere also works in tandem with Dell CloudIQ. CloudIQ is additive to the wealth of management capabilities that Unisphere provides. CloudIQ combines proactive monitoring, machine learning and predictive analytics so you can take quick action and simplify operations of your on-premises infrastructure and public cloud services.
