Extend the life of your existing hardware while lowering your total cost of storage management

NTP Software QFS
is the innovative technology that will allow you to set and enforce policies that control how much storage your users can consume, what types of data they can store, and how long they can keep it.  NTP Software QFS was designed to work with your users - not against them - to improve their overall experience, while extending the life of your existing hardware and lowering your total cost of storage management.
  • Prevent unwanted files: Select which file extensions you want to block, and make exceptions for groups that need access to all files.  For example, with NTP Software QFS, only your marketing department can store MP3's or media files.
  • Create rigid or flexible storage policies: Implement and enforce policies for storage consumption through a hard stop or simply warning.  Create exceptions as you wish.  Simply change a policy on one server and the change is automatically replicated to all your servers.
  • Know what's going on: NTP Software's extensive reporting capabilities tell you exactly what's going on in your environment.

There are no rewards for a CIO/CTO who deploys a technology intending to deny or create more issues even faster for their users than the support staff can deal with.  Quotas and content filtering are necessary, but the return on investment comes from the infrastructure that surrounds them.

  • Empower users to manage their own storage: NTP Software Storage Investigator enables users to maintain and optimize their designated storage.  Let your users keep multiple copies of the same file; it's okay.  NTP Software QFS enforces the outer boundaries.  Users can consume their space as they want, without jeopardizing your storage investment.
  • Reduce the number of Help Desk calls: NTP Software Helpsite provides one centralized location to inform users of all corporate storage policies.  Customizable pages allow you to send your own unique messages.  Don't keep your users in the dark - keep them informed.
  • Improve service levels:  NTP Software QFS email templates provide a set of customizable templates for automated storage notifications received by users.  Warn users before their storage becomes a problem; they'll appreciate it.
  • Reduce stress and automate everything: The NTP Software QFS CLI provides a command-line interface to make routine storage administration fully automatable.  Quickly script the features you want to run regularly, and then pull out the specific data you're looking for so you can send that report to your CIO.  It's easy with the NTP Software CLI.

Secure enterprise-wide administration with EASE

NTP Software QFS works on every major storage platform available.  You won't have to juggle between different management systems anymore.  You will be able to manage your entire environment with one interface, one set of policies.

Control users no matter where you move:  UUSM is a standard for user-focused, policy-based storage management.  This means that the same quota policy, for example, can apply to Windows servers, Network Appliance Filers, and EMC SANs.  It will have the same effect on all of these devices.  As a result, your cost of administration is lower and you can virtualize your storage across platforms without having to establish and maintain parallel management infrastructures.

Make an enterprise-wide change with one click: Enterprise Application Services Extension
(EASE) is a technology that enables multi-system, multi-system, multi-site applications.  EASE provides the infrastructure that automatically replicates policies and other information between systems.  It also provides a secure infrastructure for delegated administration and a secure mechanism by which an ESE-enabled application can communicate with other applications and systems on or off the network.  EASE allows NTP Software's products to be HIPAA and FIPS compliant.
