Storage Monitoring and Analytics

IBM Storage Insights Monitoring

Cloud-based monitoring and capacity analytics for IBM FlashSystem and other Storage Virtualize based arrays, layered on top of the array's own software.

Storage Management Vendor: IBM

Program Overview

IBM Storage Insights is IBM's cloud-based monitoring and analytics offering for FlashSystem and other Storage Virtualize based storage. It sits above the array's own Storage Virtualize software, giving administrators capacity forecasting, performance trend visibility, and proactive alerting without building that reporting in-house.

For AS400/IBM i shops that have added external FlashSystem storage, Storage Insights is usually evaluated once the array is operational and the team wants earlier warning on capacity or performance issues than manual review provides.

Best Fit

Best fit for organizations running IBM FlashSystem or other Storage Virtualize based arrays that want proactive capacity and performance visibility beyond what manual array-level review provides.

What this program helps with

  • Capacity forecasting and trend reporting across monitored storage arrays
  • Performance and health monitoring with proactive alerting
  • Cloud-based dashboard, separate from the array's own local management interface
  • Cross-array visibility for environments running more than one FlashSystem or Storage Virtualize based array

What to vet before shortlist

  • Confirm data residency and connectivity requirements for the cloud-based monitoring service before deployment
  • Treat this as a monitoring and reporting layer, not a replacement for the array's own replication or encryption licensing
  • Scope tiers/entitlements against how many arrays and how much historical trend data the team actually needs
