With storage growing exponentially, companies need to improve storage utilization, capacity planning and forecasting and optimize ROI of installed storage assets. IMT Partners' Storage Management solutions monitor, report on and forecast storage utilization, from individual frames to groups of hosts. Despite shrinking unit costs, yearly storage costs are rising faster than the overall IT budget because of applications’ insatiable and growing thirst for computer storage.  Storage demand has been too difficult to project, causing administrators to significantly overprovision storage to avoid shortages. This has resulted in unacceptably wasteful average storage usage of 40%.

IMT Partners’ Pro-active Storage Capacity Management and Forecasting solution utilize agent-less technology from our network of partners to enable rapid deployment and to simplify reporting of client current multi-vendor storage capacity, allocation, utilization and to perform forecasting of growth rate for individual and group of application, volume, LUN, host and frame

The data from the automated storage capacity reports and forecasts will then be included in the eSCM to create different models to validate and budget for the potential increases in storage TCO.
