    In our product we have a SANdiscovery option which is augmented by a PERFORM LIBACTION enhancement that addresses some of these requirements. We'll continue to be making investments in upcoming releases but we have no plans to implementation a solution as described in the next year or two. If after the next release of our product, you would like this requirement to be reconsidered, please resubmit your request.
