SPACE WATCH Pro Autumn 1995 (A) Features Summary
===============
Space WatchPro - a sophisticated disk and
volume analysis tool designed by PC network
managers for PC network managers. Equally
at home on individual desktops or analysing
multi-GByte file servers.
What is Space Watch?
====================
Space Watch is a sophisticated analysis tool designed by PC network managers
for PC network managers to help anyone with complex/large file storage
systems to identify where all that server or PC disk space has gone; how
it's being used and how you can free up space painlessly-it is not yet
another simple file reporter, or a replacement Windows File Manager/Explorer.
Questions like 'are my users installing their own programs' and 'which groups
are using the most space'are easily answered-as are more complex ones like
'what's the age profile of my data - do I need an hierarchical storage
management system?'.
What makes it Unique?
=====================
* Off-line analysis Get all your data - save it - then recall it later
for analysis.
* Spot unwanted, Search for unwanted program files whilst ignoring
ignore expected those repeated Windows programs (including
Win95).
* Compare new with old Spot changes, additions, deletions to files and
directories.
* Tree summary See total space used below specified directory levels.
* Duplicates Compare by name or exact matches: ignore expected
duplicates such as win.com.
* Flexible summaries Many summary options available, including largest/
oldest/newest files or directories, directory trees
and file type distribution.
* Powerful analyses View graphically file distribution by size/date or
directory distribution by size/average file size.
Most summaries and analysis results provide drill-
downs to a finer level of detail by double-clicking
on a result which is of interest: powerful file
finder and directory finder available.
* Active control Use the file finder to move or delete selected files.
A running total of space made free is automatically
maintained; as is a log of all changes made.
* Full reporting Most summaries and analyses can be printed as
formatted reports or copied to other programs via
the clipboard-in formats directly usable e.g. by
spreadsheets. All graphs can be cut and pasted in
to WP programs.
* System friendly Data collection will take place whilst the program
is minimised-a PC does not need to be dedicated to
the task. The loading on your server can be altered
to allow data collection even at peak times.
Platform requirements
=====================
For analysis of large volumes we suggest a minimum 486/33 with 8MB RAM. For
effective use of Space Watch we also recommend a display that works at
1024x768 resolution. Space Watch has many summary, analysis and
configuration windows and the screen can soon start to fill up!
