The user interface Houston is the latest development of 45Drives that customers can leverage to get the most cost-effective enterprise storage on the market even easier to use. Houston is a lean dashboard that has been designed for 45Drives’ data storage products, both for single servers and clusters.
The user interface, provides a management layer you can use to interface with 45Drives products. It gives you a single view point to manage and monitor your storage infrastructure. This new user interface will come installed on all new 45Drives servers and is directly integrated with 45Drives hardware. The UI is engineered to give users all the system information and tools they need without any clutter. But it’s flexible so it can adjust to any additional requirements they may need.
“I’ve seen what this new UI can do and it makes me excited to purchase a new storage server from 45Drives. I can’t wait to have everything at my fingertips.” – Brandon Graham, System Administrator, Protocase.
