Product Description/Overview
Compaq SANworks™ Storage Resource Manager for Exchange is web-based software that provides IT managers with network-wide reports, alerts,

Exchange provides the centralized reports and policies needed to manage critical, fast-growing Exchange information stores. All of these features and
benefits are provided in a management solution that is as easy to install, use, and maintain as any other Intranet web site, without the cost and complexity
of traditional client/server management software.
