WinQuota

What is WinQuota?

What is disk quota management?

For some data warehouses available to many users at the same time, it is not effective to provide each group with a physical drive. In this case, the question about partition increases. To manage unit capacity in the most efficient way, strict limitations on the space dedicated to each group must be set. Disk quota management aims to address this.

The most considerable problem for the standard Windows quota management mechanism is that quotas cannot be set for arbitrary folders and files, only for a volume as a whole.

What is WinQuota?

To cover all network administrator needs related to space limit management and maintenance monitoring, WinQuota LLC designed the WinQuota disk quota management engine. It allows you to specify a rich set of rules to manage drive space without any additional partitioning or logical volume manipulation.

Designed especially for administration needs, WinQuota provides quota management for folders and files separately for any type of user, group, including support for Windows domains and Active Directory network users.

You can set quota limitations for any specified folders and files, including subfolders, internal mount points, system, and sparse files.

Disk quota settings cannot be exhausted by any type of operation, including file move, renaming, copying, and more. While any attempt to change the file size, WinQuota examines it for quota settings and refuses any kind of request that could lead to the burning of quota limits.

Unlike many other solutions, WinQuota works in real time; Now you don't have to worry about inviolability of users' dedicated space all the time. Each folder can simply be treated as a separate drive; All programs will be transparently limited to folder size, and the quota limit may not be exhausted.

WinQuota is 100% automatic and offers great relief to the administrator. The user cannot exceed their physical limits, but in the case of trying to use more space than the quota set, administrator intervention is not required to unlock/resolve the excess quotas.

WinQuota Possibilities:

Fully automated solution in real time

Users cannot exceed their limits

Quota limits for folders and files

Quota limits for all types of users and groups

Full support of Active Directory structure and Windows domains

Set any type of user notification about the quota limit to be filled soon

Support of any underlying storages, including SAS, NAS, RAID/LVM support

Support for Windows clustering, network shares, and distributed file system

WinQuota has two versions: WinQuota Professional and WinQuota Corporate. Mainly, the professional version is adopted for small and medium-sized businesses, without large trees and DA forests. On the other hand, WinQuota Corporate is designed specifically for large and large enterprises and provides additional features specific to large enterprises. There's a web console for managing quotas remotely, SNMP support, and more.

The WinQuota team continuously works on the perfection of WinQuota products to make them closer to customer needs.

How WinQuota works

Unlike many other solutions, WinQuota is a complex and efficient solution for your quotas. Instead of periodically checking certain folders and breaking permissions with boundary emulation, WinQuota works at the kernel level, intercepts all file activity, and counts the quota for all file operations.
