Disk Savvy Server

Taking care of your hard-drives is something very important if you want to make sure your machine is operating up to par. Periodic analyses are most required here, as they can give you pointers to the general performance of your storage units.

This is even more crucial when it comes to servers: ensuring proper functioning parameters is paramount, and that entails periodic drive check-ups. Disk Savvy Server is a program that was intended for that purpose: analyze your storage units and your server file system, schedule automatic analysis jobs and create reports off of them to ensure efficiency.

Even though the program was conceived to handle intricate and lengthy operations, setting it up is no fuss at all. Even the interface, though containing a host of options to allow for thorough drive examination, is easy to get around and operate.

Right away, users can start analyzing their drives, disks, or directories. There's more than that, though: since this is a program targeting server-centered workloads, network shares, servers and NAS devices can also be examined by way of that menu.

The user's servers can be added via the Server File System utility, which will then run a scan on the discovered hard-drives. The analysis is thorough and contains information on space usage, while also allowing for categorization and sorting: by extension, file size, last access time, and so on. Users can also generate reports in an instant based on the data.

As with any server-centered tool, tools for automation/scheduling are available here. These can be accessed through the Jobs menu, and adding a periodic task is a hassle-free, intuitive process. Add disk analysis commands, choose when they are to be executed, and click save. If you don't wish to run these commands sequentially, running them in parallel is also possible — provided your server can handle the workload.

In conclusion, Disk Savvy Server is the tool to use if you're looking for thorough monitoring of the drives on your server. It's a powerful, feature-rich tool that is surprisingly easy to get around.
