Utility Reporting and Billing
Traditionally, storage management has always had a supply (storage) centric viewpoint not a consumer (application) perspective. As there are very significant issues around the efficient allocation of storage most organisations struggle to manage this aspect let alone accurately manage storage utilisation as well.
Itheon is the market leader, being the only vendor with a proven track record in implementing enterprise storage utility solutions.
The primary output of an Itheon Storage Utility Solution is allocation and consumption cost analysis: efficiency of the storage infrastructure, the ability to manage the ‘gap’ between allocation and consumption (headroom), the alignment of costs to the relevant business units.
An Itheon Storage Utility Solution further supports the collection, correlation and event creation of data pertinent to the performance (quality) of the storage and the management of SLA criteria associated with the resilience, availability and recovery points of the storage infrastructure.
