In addition, IT and storage administrators are provided with the ability to export disk space analysis results from multiple servers and/or NAS storage devices to a centralized SQL database and then perform advanced disk space usage history trend analysis operations and display disk space usage per server and disk space usage per user.

Analyzing Network Servers and NAS Storage Devices
DiskSavvy allows one to scan the network, discover network servers and NAS storage devices, automatically detect all accessible network shares and analyze disk space usage in hundreds of network servers and NAS storage devices. In addition, the user is provided with the ability to export the list of detected servers and NAS storage devices (including lists of network shares for each server) into HTML, PDF, text and CSV reports.

Analyzing Network Servers
In order to analyze one or more servers or NAS storage devices, press the ‘Network’ button located on the main toolbar and wait while DiskSavvy will scan the network and show a list of detected network servers and NAS storage devices. On the network servers and NAS storage devices dialog, select the required servers and press the ‘Analyze’ button.

Finally, enterprise customers are provided with DiskSavvy Server, a server-based product version, which runs in the background as a service and allows one to analyze a number of servers or NAS storage devices simultaneously, schedule periodic disk space analysis operations, submit disk space analysis reports from multiple servers to a centralized SQL database, perform advanced disk space usage history trend analysis operations, analyze disk space usage per server, analyze disk space usage per user and execute conditional, rule-based disk space analysis actions.

DiskSavvy Disk Space Analysis Server
DiskSavvy Server may be controlled using a full-scale client GUI application locally or via the network. The client GUI application provides all features available in the desktop product version and additional capabilities allowing one to analyze multiple servers and/or NAS storage devices simultaneously, schedule periodic disk space analysis operations and perform advanced disk space usage history trend analysis operations. In addition, to the client GUI application, DiskSavvy Enterprise provides a web-based management interface, which can be used to control one or more servers using a regular web browser.

Batch Disk Space Analysis Operations
DiskSavvy Server and DiskSavvy Enterprise provide the ability to scan the network, detect all network servers and NAS storage devices, execute one or more pre-configured disk space analysis commands on hundreds of network servers and NAS storage devices and generate an individual report for each analyzed server, NAS storage device or network share.

Batch Disk Space Analysis Operations
In the simplest case, just press the ‘Network’ button located on the main toolbar, search all network servers and NAS storage devices on the network, select one or more servers to be analyzed, press the right mouse button and select the ‘Batch Disk Space Analysis’ menu item. DiskSavvy will show a list of pre-configured disk space analysis commands allowing one to select one or more commands to be executed on all selected network servers and NAS storage devices.

Batch Disk Space Analysis Mode
Depending on the selected configuration, DiskSavvy will save in the built-in reports database an individual disk space analysis report for each analyzed network server, NAS storage device or network share. Once the batch disk space analysis is completed, the user will be provided with the ability to open saved disk space analysis reports, review disk space analysis results, generate various types of pie charts and export reports to a number of standard formats including HTML, PDF, Excel, text, CSV and XML.
