IBM Storage Insights: Whats new in May 2020

Learn about the updates for IBM Storage Insights & IBM Storage Insights Pro for the 2nd Quarter of 2020. 

Among other enhancements and features the continuation of non-IBM device support is extended in this update of IBM Storage Insights. The support for Pure FlashArray//M and FlashArray//X is available for monitoring and reporting. The information includes metrics that measure the performance of the storage systems. As expected, you can view this performance information or specify alerts that are triggered when the performance of resources fall outside a specified range.

Whether above or below knowing your capacity limit is vital. A storage pool that is getting close to capacity can be a problem. Being able to make informed decisions or resolve capacity issues is paramount for your storage environment. Your company might have a policy to maintain a reserve of available capacity. You can now set a limit on the amount of capacity that is used by your storage systems and pools. The new metrics are Adjusted Used Capacity (%), Capacity Limit (%), Capacity Limit (GiB), and Capacity-to-Limit (GiB).
