Some benefits of a single solution to many problems

 

  Beyond the intuitive natural feeling that putting things together is a target by itself - there is a list of problems that you may be familiar with. All the problems in this list are caused by the fact that the current "Storage life cycle management" method allows this disorder to occur.

If you are familiar with any problem in the following list, you will be able to find a solution here that suits your needs.

1. Money:

2. 1. IT Managers with budget constraints: Balancing the budget

In the long run, "Preventive Maintenance" in computers implemented by Lace Watcher PRO will reduce your upgrade budget by 25-30% as published by IDC MarketResearch.com. The concept is applicable in any mechanical industry and also in the computer industry. You need to implement it in order to appreciate it.

2. CFOs looking for ideas to cut expenses: Reducing extra expenditures

In organizations in which the CFO is responsible for the IT, all the budget clauses are checked, and the "Annual Upgrade" cost, which normally increases from year to year, is constantly challenged. Irregular and unexpected expenses can be diminished by proper management, as proposed by Lace Watcher PRO. You will soon see the difference in your cash flow.

3. Managed Service Providers: Looking for ways to improve profitability

1. The highest costs in managing remote sites are associated with the presence of technicians at the customer's site, and the need to replace equipment where applicable. Lace Watcher PRO automatically manages these sites by sending mail messages regarding the need for user assistance, even before the user calls. Extending the lifespan of computers will reduce overall expenses and increase profitability.

Time:

1. 1. Professional Home User: Too much to manage

2. The number of disks used by professional users can become very high. Activities like editing music, video and graphics require a high storage capacity, which is sometimes distributed among several computers. Having a huge amount of storage requires a new level of management to take care of the relevant activities. Lace Watcher will help you manage activities such as calculation of the total amount of storage, disk utilization, and above all - management of disk defragmentation automatically.

 

2. Computer users: "Forgetting" to defrag

Would you neglect to service your car when the manufacturer’s recommended mileage is passed? (Certainly not earlier!) The same applies to your computers. Up to now, the maintenance decision was left to you and not centrally managed, because it was not possible to determine exactly when your computer should be serviced. This can now be done by using Lace Watcher PRO.

Service:

1. Technicians and Help Desk managers: Where have all the technicians gone?

There is a huge difference between "Break maintenance" and "Preventive maintenance".  It is in the nature of problems that they never come one at a time. When you need technicians to handle performance problems they are always out, busy elsewhere. One of the activities of technicians is to take care of slow computers that did not have their maintenance done on time. Running "Remote Defrag" based upon the exact condition of the computer, which is one of the features of Lace Watcher PRO, will not only increase your computers' lifespan, but will also free your technicians for more important activities.

2. Organizations with "Service Agreements": Be one step ahead of users

Whatever the penalty for not standing by service agreement criteria, you can avoid it by being one step ahead of your user. The measurements carried out by Lace Watcher PRO assure you of being able to provide service just before it is needed.

Technology:

1. Companies looking for "Green" solutions

 "Go green" is a current demand that more and more people are following.
Lace Watcher’s ability to extend the lifespan of computers is good for the environment. Keeping your computer at a constant fragmentation level by using Lace Watcher PRO will delay the purchase of new computers, the manufacturing of their replacements, and scrapping of old ones.

2. Managers of small companies: What are they keeping there?

You supply your users with computers, but lack feedback regarding their use and condition. Sometimes users complain about their computers but you do not have enough information to decide whether their complaint is justified, especially when the equipment replacement rate is not followed by an increase in business volume. Lace Watcher PRO, by tracking the usage of the computers, provides you with the assistance you need to learn about the usage pattern of the computers - and still retain the privacy of your users.

3. Storage life cycle management: Computers get old

Computers work best when they are new, and when the disk is empty. Once you begin to use the computer, you start accumulating data and after a while you find that the computer is not as fast as it used to be. This problem arises because the storage management is reaching the point at which the disorder in the computer affects response time. It is your responsibility to handle this situation - not easy to do, in the absence of any reliable warning . By using Lace Watcher PRO to assist you, you can be sure that you and your users will never be caught by surprise and you will not find yourself saddled with an old computer that others will hurry to replace..
