I’ve been getting some end-user emails lately regarding StorageIM and the inclusion of performance monitoring. Because our road map is based on end-user feedback, ask and receive. These emails however were quite telling as to where storage monitoring is in general.

So the bad news is some end-users have serious issues with their storage vendors from a performance monitoring perspective. The key issue I’ve been hearing about lately is performance metrics. These issues consisted of what do the performance metrics truly mean and how are the performance metrics implemented such that you can can find an ‘immediate’ solution.

The good news is SMI-S supports performance metrics via their Block Server Performance Profile. We are now in the process of implementing these metrics. I will write a follow-up, Part 2 on post development and whether the SMI-S vendor implementations create a valuable solution based on end-user feedback.
