SpaceGuard SRM directory based quota management system allows network administrators to target single directories for quota management instead of an entire disk drive or multiple disk drives. Directory based quota management reduces the load on a server by only analyzing the size of quota directories when needed. This can greatly reduce the dependency on ACL directory and file ownership.
SmartQuota Technology: SpaceGuard SRM is SmartQuota enabled, which allows for rapid deployment and mass disk quota reconfiguration. Using SmartQuota technology, you can quickly add new quota limits to all existing quotas based on a percentage of the current limits, regardless of the type of quota limit (absolute, relative to disk/directory). SmartQuota technology is completely transparent and automatically activated in SpaceGuard SRM
Unlimited quota levels: Each disk quota can have one or more limits. A limit is a percentage based on the disk quota size. If you have for example a fixed disk quota size of 50MB and you define a limit of 100% and assign an alarm, the alarm will be executed when the 50MB has been exceeded. This way, you can assign multiple limits to a single quota, for instance:
Fixed disk quota size, 50MB:
Limit 1: 80%, send a popup to the user assigned to the quota. (Executed at 40MB)
Limit 2: 90%, send a popup to the administrator. (Executed at 45MB)
Limit 3: 100%, revoke the write access of the user assigned to the quota. (Executed at 50MB)
