The Problem

Monthly Capacity Planning Reports Were Too Time-Consuming

To perform effective capacity planning for 300 PB of storage, this two-person team needed faster, more accurate historical data from their devices. Although they used a management tool to collect this data from their multi-vendor storage environment, the process was difficult and time-consuming.

Meanwhile, using the data required them to build and maintain tedious spreadsheets, each separately designed for specialized tasks like forecasting. “It took a good two weeks just to do monthly reports,” said one of the capacity planners. That left less than half the month to accomplish anything else.
