Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

It's not 100% complete, but it's mostly complete, and the difference is huge.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

You'll also see that the interface has been streamlined a bit and cleaned up, and it looks a lot more like

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

the rest of the NetApp product world in terms of where we've put menus and how you move through the UI and all.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

So there's some overall improvements in just the functionality and the feel.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

And customers that I've shown it to are finding it much easier to move around and find things.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

Yeah, you can really feel the performance difference in it.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

So you want to take that one because I know that's one of your pet projects.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

And that's huge because let's face it, our customers don't typically want to have to be dropping unified manager servers everywhere.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

So along with those performance improvements and the impact that they have in the environment as a whole,

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

we've seen that we're able to scale the system better.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

And there have been some significant improvements there.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

We've benchmarked it against larger populations of systems.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

And honestly, I think that and the new scale monitor that's built into the system will drive forward a lot of happiness in our customers because then they're not asking me, I have to stand up how many systems in order to monitor this environment?

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

We won't be getting that kind of pushback, I don't think, any longer.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

Well, we're publishing a set of overall guidelines, but what we found in the testing of it is that we're able to handle

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

significantly larger installations.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

One of the things that we've done to enable that is that we have built into the product, and honestly they weren't there before, are a set of scale monitors that will alert the user when they start to tax the server.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

So if they start to tax the CPUs or tax the memory footprint or tax the disk space,

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

It'll tell you that, and then you have the opportunity to grow more.

TechONTAPPodcast
Episode 83 โ€“ OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2

So the scaling is going to be much more dynamic.
