ICON Manager

Intuitive management with a single interface

Too much data and too few people to manage it. It’s a problem that nearly all organizations face these days, and one that requires a truly innovative solution.

Xiotech Corporation has always delivered storage systems that are easy to use, helping organizations make the most of their resources. Users consistently cite how the systems’ simplified management saves them time and money. But even a good thing can get better...

The Solution: ICON Manager

Xiotech's ICON Manager has forever changed the storage management landscape, providing the easiest storage and server administration ever available. ICON Manager is the first and only user interface to bring storage management and storage-related server administration together in one place. Even novice administrators can effortlessly manage storage just as they do Windows volumes. Creating Windows volumes and assigning them to servers is a simple point-and-click operation from a single console.
