The firm maintains that SANscreen 5.0 'strengthens the existing product suite's capabilities by providing several new capacity management features, including a new data warehouse and an embedded business intelligence engine, which provide global infrastructure visibility and flexible reporting capabilities'. It says that this enables customers to run, modify, or create robust capacity management, tiering, and cost-awareness/chargeback reports, providing IT with the necessary information to make the right business and capacity decisions.

Also included in SANscreen 5.0 is expanded multivendor performance support, iSCSI protocol support, and a VMware vCenter plug-in, providing customers with greater visibility into their storage environment.
