New York -- Storability Software, today announced the availability of Version 3.8 of its Global Storage Manager (GSM) software. GSM 3.8 offers expanded device support allowing customers to manage multi-vendor, multi-site storage infrastructures from a single, integrated solution.

GSM enables large enterprises to visualize and optimize multi-vendor, multi-site storage environments using a single integrated solution. It's unique, multi-tiered architecture scales to support large, distributed environments from a central location. In Version 3.8, GSM's already robust device support has been expanded to include EMC's Celerra, HP's XP 512 and Windows 2003.

Enterprise customers are choosing GSM because it can reliably scale to meet the needs of large, geographically dispersed organizations, and allow them to align their storage assets with business goals. Customers adopting GSM include insurance companies, financial institutions and major companies in the pharmaceutical, telecommunication, utility and information industries.

"Key Bank's data centers have products from all of the major storage vendors, and we felt it was critical to have a single management tool that would support everything, including all of our hosts, HBAs, switches, storage, and especially backup," said Robert Bellanti, Vice President, Key Bank. "GSM was the only product that could support it all. We also like knowing that the software monitoring our storage environment, particularly as it relates to capacity, is independent of the storage hardware vendors."
