Cross platform tools speed data inventory and time to business intelligence for multi-site environments.

BETHESDA, Maryland--- January 15, 2005. Overtone Software today announced the release of ManageReports™ Search & Report Tools 2.0, a toolkit for platform-native graphical reporting and decision tools for primary, secondary, and tertiary storage volumes. ManageReports is a leading data intelligence solution that helps IT managers and administrators perform data inventory, and provides intelligent capacity planning tools for primary, secondary, tertiary, and vault capacity based on data creation rates, value assignments, and access frequencies to decide optimal capacity mix.

ManageReports™ Search & Report Tools 2.0 provides ability to calculate and graphically depict data creation rates by volume, and predicts disk space savings by simulating ManageTone Lifecycle Suite policies. “This tool is what administrators have been looking for,” says Greg Hilsenrath, VP of Business Development for Overtone Software. “One of the first issues that customers face in sizing and implementing a data archiving solution is the challenge of understanding how much data they have, what kind of data it is, how many copies exist, where it is stored, and what their potential savings are by life-cycling their data.” ManageReports uses Overtone Software’s kernel-based engine to perform enterprise-wide reports and searches, and provide criteria for immediate management, with support for all major disk platforms, including EMC, Hitachi, IBM, HP, Network Appliance, Xiotech, 3Par, etc. A simplified console provides standardized and customizable report templates which can be exported to Microsoft, Crystal Reports, and Adobe formats. ManageReports™ Search & Report Tools is available directly from Overtone Software and through its value-added resellers and partners. Overtone Software, Inc. is a leading provider of flexible, scalable, information lifecycle management software solutions for heterogeneous environments. Overtone Software products are designed to move data intelligently between storage platforms, maximize application performance, minimize TCO, and slow the cycle of replacement investment.
