Enterprise Architecture

SMART Disk Monitor is built using a Windows Service, management interface application, and tray icon application for user interface alerts. No installation requirements on remotely managed computers. SMART Disk Monitor uses multi-threaded code to monitor drives and generate reports. This format enables hundreds of drives and reports to be run relatively fast.

How It Works

A Windows Service is installed which enables automatic drive monitoring and report generation. The Windows Service enables all this to occur on a Windows workstation or server while the system administrator is logged off.

The user interface enables systems administrators to configure the service, view disk usage and history, view sub-directory sizes, and manually run reports.
