PA Storage Monitor Release Candidate

This page is where you can find our very latest release. Versions that make it to this page are considered solid and candidates for production release, but we're still adding features and/or the build hasn't received enough feedback yet. If we implement a feature or fix for you, we will typically send you to this page to try it out. We fully support these builds as though they were production releases. Many of our largest customers stay on the Preview build so they get features and fixes sooner.
