Seagate Enterprise Storage Provisioning & Management Tool / Product (UX) Design
Develop a modern GUI for big-storage enclosure setup, provisioning, and maintenance. Our goal was to turn something very complicated into an easy-to-use, insightful, tool.
See this software in action at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The product was made to be incorporated into any customer’s CSS, so that it will match their own branding.
THE PROBLEM: hardware provisioning and maintenance for large storage enclosures can be complicated and difficult to visually represent.
THE BACKGROUND: Their customers requested a GUI provisioning interface. Seagate’s engineers had come up with their own solution but realized it was a tricky task. See the original UI at the bottom of this page.
MY ROLE: Seagate brought me into the project as a consultant in 2016. Using standard UX practices like personas, use cases, and wireframing, we were able to conceive a much more user-friendly tool.
As part of the process, we also had the opportunity to make the UI more modern and more in-line with Seagate’s existing brand elements.
THE RESULT: The Seagate Realstor Operating System became a more powerful storage management tool with a modern GUI interface.
