Leveraging the intelligence inside Quantum's storage systems, StorageCare Guardian
proactively monitors the health of the units, uses diagnostics data to predict possible
failures, and determines whether or not the problem involves a Quantum product or
other critical components in the environment.
Faster resolution time

When issues occur, StorageCare Guardian provides better diagnostics data that will
enable Quantum to identify the root cause for rapid problem resolution.
