we use IBM Storage Insights to monitor the performance of all our IBM storage, this product is very powerful in the granularity of storage objects, if we have the performance of each of the objects we can determine which is the bottleneck or what is the problem when we have slowness in our applications
  • graphics granularity
  • custom reports
  • IBM ticket handling
  • the free version unfortunately has very few functionalities, it is almost useless
This product is highly recommended, first because it has a trial version that lasts 30 days, which is a good time to demonstrate the functionalities of this product to customers, in my case it has been very useful when we have a latency problem in the storage and we don't know the cause, I let the application run for a week and I have reports of all the storage components
  • customizable graphics
  • reports
  • IBM ticket handling
  • it's in the cloud
  • It is the only tool that has a performance history of all storage objects.
  • It allows us to determine how my storage is working, its performance, if it has any problems.
  • automatically opens tickets with IBM if there is a problem with the storage and saves a history of all tickets on the equipment
I have tried a product called Xorux, but it does not have the same functionalities as IBM Storage Insights, it does not have the same granularity of the graphs and reports
