MonoSphere Inc., the creator of award-winning storage capacity management software, today announced that it has joined the VMware Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) Program. As a member of the program, MonoSphere will leverage VMware resources and expertise in its efforts to deliver storage capacity management solutions to optimize storage for VMware environments. MonoSphere now has access to the technical and marketing benefits within VMware Partner Central, as well as access to training, support and software licenses.

“This program will enable the Storage Horizon® solution to provide unprecedented visibility into the actual array usage of servers running VMware Infrastructure,” said Frank Kettenstock, vice president of marketing at MonoSphere. “Our storage capacity management solution enables storage administrators to increase storage utilization and realize immediate cost savings, which is aligned with the server utilization improvements VMware software brings to servers.”

The Storage Horizon software from MonoSphere provides an in-depth view into the current and projected storage usage of heterogeneous environments, helping organizations manage hundreds of terabytes to petabytes of storage. The Storage Horizon solution does not require installation of software agents on application servers, and the system deploys in only a few hours, beginning immediately to collect storage usage data.
