About InfoScale Operations Manager

InfoScale Operations Manager by Arctera gives you a single, centralized management console for the Storage Foundation High Availability products. You can use it to monitor, visualize, and manage storage and cluster resources, and generate reports about these components in the Management Server domain. InfoScale Operations Manager helps administrators centrally manage diverse data center environments.

You can also use InfoScale Operations Manager to visualize and report about the hosts which do not have Storage Foundation High Availability products installed on them.

InfoScale Operations Manager uses two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect user accounts from getting compromised. A combination of your login credentials and a six-digit PIN is used to authenticate every user account. On gaining access to the management console, you can establish user credentials such that authorized users can access the product to perform sensitive management tasks. Other users can perform only a basic set of operations or can only view information.

A typical InfoScale Operations Manager deployment consists of the following:

  • Management Server

  • Managed hosts

A InfoScale Operations Manager deployment may also discover the following:

  • Virtualization environment
