Accounting

The tool is able to provide base for your storage accounting based on allocated data in the time.
Capacity allocation data is stored per:

• Pool
• Tier
• Volume

Capacity data is stored every hour.

Customers with premium support subscription can use a framework which exports capacity allocation data from the tool in the format required by each customer.

Output format options:

• CSV
• XLS
• JSON
• XML
• PDF
• Graphical in the UI

Further reporting options:

• Raw capacity allocation (include RAID and spare disk overhead)
• Automated creation and either saving in defined location or sending via email
• One or more defined storage in single report
• Daily/weekly/monthly or custom date based reports
• REST API

Examples

• Excel reports
