New in the BVQ° platform portfolio: Dell PowerStore

BVQ° now helps companies monitor, analyze and automate service processes in their Dell PowerStore infrastructures more efficiently. Modern IT environments require maximum transparency, fast problem resolution and high availability. Dell PowerStore is known for its innovative storage architecture and is complemented by tools like CloudIQ and PowerStore Manager, offering flexibility and easy management. BVQ° provides the ideal enhancement by enabling additional cross-platform analysis and deep insights - perfect for “darkside” environments without internet access. Together with SVA, you benefit from automated analytics that go beyond storage and increase the efficiency of your entire IT infrastructure.

BVQ° and Dell Powerstore - a strong duo

BVQ° brings the following advantages for your Dell PowerStore:

  • SVA is a Titanium Partner: The knowledge of over 800 SEs is embedded in code and available to you from the first minute. We report issues and provide solutions.
  • Holistic Monitoring: In addition to PowerStore volumes, virtualization platforms like VMware, IBM PowerVM or containers (Kubernetes) and SAN fabrics (Brocade, Cisco) are integrated into one platform.
  • Cross-Platform Analyses: Transparency extends from virtual machines to the SAN, visualizing dependencies and locating problems faster.
  • Darkside Options: For environments without internet connection, BVQ° enables complete on-premises monitoring without sacrificing functionality.
