Manual, labor intensive maintenance of reports

Inability to report on all environments across IT

Limited ability to proactively manage multi-tiered storage environment, including predictive tier-specific capacity planning and allocation based on accurate historical consumption data

Under- and over-utilized storage assets with inability to reclaim/ reallocate underutilized storage

Inability to trend and forecast critical IT metrics over time

Difficult to identify performance and/or stability issues
