Capacity Management
Administrators can increase performance and capacity of any storage type by adding storage capacity of the same type, or of any other type that best meets an organization’s changing needs. Administrators can easily view available resources, including total available storage capacity, total used capacity, individual volumes available, and used capacities. This makes it easier to estimate when capacity will run out, and to proactively take action to address capacity issues.
Viewing Total Capacity
You can view the capacity of your storage resources.
-
To view total capacity, open the GUI and go to the Dashboard.
-
In the Capacity panel, Storage section, you can view the number of storage systems, volumes, shares, and files. The NAS Total section shows how much of the total capacity is used and free. The NAS Growth section shows the history of capacity usage for the past 7 days.
Addressing Capacity Issues
Capacity issues can be quickly addressed by adding storage. Adding new storage and moving data to different storage volumes are non-disruptive operations.
