SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM) gives IT teams agentless visibility into storage health, performance, capacity, and availability across multi-vendor SAN and NAS environments. It monitors arrays, LUNs, pools, volumes, and disks, including SAN IOPS, latency, throughput, and real-time I/O hotspots. NAS views show capacity metrics and can alert on performance risks and thresholds. SRM tracks usage over time and forecasts when storage resources may reach capacity limits. Prebuilt reports and custom templates cover storage components, with web reports for volumes, LUNs, pools, and arrays. AppStack maps storage relationships, while PerfStack correlates metrics with alerts and events. Polling uses SNMP, SMI-S, and REST APIs at configurable intervals. Supported vendors include Dell, Dell EMC, Hitachi, HPE, IBM, NetApp, Pure Storage, and Huawei. It is offered through self-hosted, web, and Windows platforms. Pricing is on request, with a fully functional 30-day trial.
