The dashboard at the top will draw one gauge for each data center. Each gauge displays the percent used of usable. To make this data easy to scan, we’ve color-coded the ranges:

Color

Range

Teal

0-49%

Blue

50-69%

Yellow

70-79%

Red

80-100%

Tier

Shows a tier of storage

Storage tiers are defined in business unit data.

Total Used

The total amount of space currently in use

Sum of the used space for each system within a given data center.

Provisioned Free

Represents the total amount of space you’ve provisioned, but that isn’t currently in use.

Sum of the provisioned free space within a given data center.

Unprovisioned Free

Represents the total amount of space within the data center that hasn’t been provisioned for use.

Sum of the unprovisioned free space within a given data center.

Overprovisioned

This shows the total amount of space within the data center that has been over-provisioned. Overprovisioning is a normal and acceptable practice.

Sum of the overprovisioned space within a given data center.

Monthly Performance

Monthly Performance shows you changes in used space and IOPs for each device type in your enterprise. This report has a graph at the top showing a column chart. The used statistics are graphed in orange while the performance (IOPs) statistic is graphed in blue. This chart can show positive as well as negative changes. Your utilization and performance will ebb and tide like a financial stock price. Some months it’s up while others it’s down. This report shows you this one month at a time. We have trend reports that show you these kinds of trends over time but this report is unique in that it focuses on a single month at a time.

This report displays an exhaustive list of all volumes across all storage devices. Since it’s a large list, you can narrow it down to focus on single devices by using the Select Device drop down (outlined below in red). You can also leverage the sorting and grouping features of our customizable data grid to make the data easier to read.

% Volume

The percentage of the used space on the volume. They’re presented as color-coded bars where green indicates you have plenty of space on the volume. Yellow indicates you’re getting close to threshold (usually around 70% full), and red indicates the volume is over threshold. Purple indicates the volume is 100% full.

The percentage is computed by taking the volume’s used space and dividing by the size of the volume.
