Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART)
Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART)
Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (a.k.a. SMART) is a technology of self-monitoring, analyzing and reporting. This idea comes from the regulation of ANSI ATA, which serves the monitoring functions in HDD and SSD to check and report the health condition of data storage equipment. When users obtain the information about the potential failure of the equipment by SMART alarms, they can choose to replace the data storage equipment to avoid system interruption or data missing. In addition, engineers can analyze the SMART data to find the cause of failure to prevent it happening again. Therefore, SMART is a vital and necessary function to industrial level controllers.
EmBestor Technology provides customers with comprehensive and multiple solutions for obtaining SMART information, as well as customized service for windows applications. As for embedded system applications, EmBestor Technology can support many distributions of linux and SMART SDK's for many platforms. Customers can integrate the SMART functions into their own platforms to monitor the SMART information of the data storage equipment.
