Forecasting Unity Storage growth

Hi All,

Can someone help me in forecasting the Storage growth on the Unity arrays ? Can i get this info from Unisphere for Unity?

I need help to find how much storage would grow on Unity arrays in the next 1-2 years to help me make a decision when to buy.

Regards,

Deepak Sibal

    you can get historical capacity info via UEMCLI or REST API

    Unisphere Central or M&R can also help

    Thank you for your quick response.

    I checked Cloud IQ > page 14 as indicated however it gives me a message saying :

    Predicted Date to Full - Unpredictable

    Also the Historical trend does not show capacity analysis for last 6 months.

    I also checked on Unisphere and it only shows Pool's Used Capacity History for last 3 months and I am unable to edit or pick older dates also it does not give me the growth percentage unlike Unisphere for VMAX.

    Appreciate your help here.

    Thank you Rainer for your quick response.

    I checked on User guide for UEMCLI and found the following :

    Free Space

    Used Space

    Total Space

    Compression Space saved

    Compression percent

    Compression ratio

    Can you guide me where does it show the predictive capacity growth analysis ?

    Appreciate your help here.

    I dont think the array itself does predictions - its up to storage management applications to calculate them

    CloudIQ can only pull the data thats on the array

    If you registered with CloudIQ six months ago it should have the data

    if not it can only have whats available on the array
