VISUALIZE
With ViPR SRM, you can obtain detailed relationship and topology views from virtual or
physical hosts down to the logical unit number (LUN) to identify application to storage
dependencies. You can also view performance trends across the data path to help you
understand the impact that storage has on your applications.
ANALYZE
ViPR SRM allows you to quickly spot service-level agreement (SLA) problems through
dashboards and reports that meet the needs of a wide range of users and roles. You
can track storage consumption across your data centers with built-in views that help
you understand whos using capacity, how much theyre using and when more will be
required.
OPTIMIZE
ViPR SRM helps you optimize capacity and improve productivity to get the most out of
your storage investments. It shows historical workloads and response times to help
you determine whether youve selected the right storage tier. It maps ViPR Controller
virtual pools to service levels, tracks capacity use by service level and EMC Fully
Automated Storage Tiering (FAST) policy, enabling you to create show-back or
charge-back reports to align application requirements with costs. Detailed capacity
reporting improves planning to enhance purchasing processes and reduce costs.
Armed with this information, you can optimize your storage environment.
