IT Administrators Can Maximize Application Storage Utilization With Efficient Capacity Manager

With businesses' growing need for expansive data space compounded by limited IT budgets, administrators need to maximize their resources and keep costs down. An efficient storage capacity manager allows administrators to ensure that mission-critical applications have the right amount of data space to keep them running.

As they grow and expand the scope of their services, businesses may need to run more applications for various processes. Enterprise applications need to be up and running at all times. If applications go down, it can have severe financial impact on the business.

Many applications do not consume the actual amount of storage allocated for them. For IT administrators, it can be a challenge to track applications' actual storage use. But with an efficient capacity manager that provides an end-to-end view of the storage environment, administrators can track storage information for applications more efficiently.

With the right reporting and management solution, administrators can view the amount of data space provided for applications, the amount of storage actually used, and the applications that are at risk of running out of data storing space.

The right solution also enables IT administrators to identify which applications are using a low percentage of their allocated data space. This allows administrators to maximize these areas of unutilized space by allocating them somewhere else.

An efficient capacity manager that gives a 360-degree view of the storage environment can also enable IT administrators to view data management, allocation and consumption from storage arrays and hosts. In addition to managing current allocation and consumption, the solution also allows administrators to predict future storage requirements and plan for capacity.
