SpaceGuard SRM Directory Quotas Features |
| |
 |
SpaceGuard SRM is a completely new product, built from
the ground up for Windows 2003-XP-2000-NT environments.
SpaceGuard SRM has all the features of SpaceGuard 4.2,
and many significant enhancements and features, such
as enhanced auto-add quotas, configurable disk quota policies,
more notifications, unlimited disk quota levels, a brand-new
interface and dramatic improvements in engine performance. |

| Directory
Quotas |
 |
- Automatic home directory matching based on Active Directory
- Quota limits based on percentage of disk/directory size
- Configurable
quota policies; save your configuration in a policy for
rapid deployment and propagation
- Directory based quotas
- Quota
enforcement; the engine can automatically revoke write
access priviliges for a user or a group of users when a revoke
access limit has been exceeded
- Unlimited
disk quota levels; assign multiple limits on a disk quota
to gradually escalate notifications and ultimately enforce
the disk quota by revoking write access
- Auto-Add
quotas; the SpaceGuard SRM engine monitors the file system
for changes and automatically applies the appropriate disk
quota settings
|
Auto-Add quotas:
An Auto-Add disk quota removes the need to add a disk quota each time
a directory is added. Each time a directory is created (inside a specified
directory) a quota is set on that directory using a predefined policy
or custom sizes/limits.
The SpaceGuard SRM service continuously scans the local computer's
file system for directory changes. If a new subfolder is created
under the branch where the Auto-Add disk quota is active, SpaceGuard
SRM automatically creates a new quota according to the Auto-Add policy.
Also, whenever subfolders under an Auto-Add quota root are removed,
the related quota is also removed automatically. This is extemely
useful for large and rapidly changing home directory shares. Each time a new
home folder inside for example G:\UserData
is created, you want each home directory to get a 50MB disk quota
with a standard size and limit policy. All you have to do is create
an Auto-Add quota on G:\UserData, customize the sizes and limits,
and notice how SpaceGuard SRM creates all quota's automatically. |

Unlimited quota levels:
Each disk quota can have one or more limits. A limit is a percentage
based on the disk quota size. If you have for example a fixed disk
quota size of 50MB and you define a limit of 100% and assign an alert,
the alert will be executed when the 50MB has been exceeded. This way,
you can assign multiple limits to a single quota, for instance:
Fixed disk quota size, 50MB:
Limit 1: 80%, send a popup to the user assigned to the quota. (executed
at 40MB)
Limit 2: 90%, send a popup to the administrator. (executed at 45MB)
Limit 3: 100%, revoke the write access of the user assigned to the
quota. (exectued at 50MB) |

SmartQuota
Technology:
SpaceGuard
SRM is SmartQuota enabled, which allows for rapid deployment
and mass disk quota reconfiguration.
Using SmartQuota technology, you can quickly add new quota limits
to all existing quota's based on a percentage of the current limits, regardless
of the type of quota limit (absolute, relative to disk/directory). SmartQuota technology
is completely transparent and automatically activated in SpaceGuard SRM. More
information on using SmartQuota technology
is available here. |
