Storage Capacity Planning and Monitoring Tool
Proactively track storage consumption to facilitate precise storage capacity planning
Automate storage capacity planning
SolarWinds® Storage Resource Monitor (SRM) is built to collect storage capacity data and tracks usage over time to identify capacity issues in storage environments. You can also leverage this storage capacity planning tool to easily view storage growth trends and forecasts depicting when capacity will be reached.
The software’s in-depth dashboards also allow you to trace dynamic relationships from apps, VMs, LUNs, pools, and arrays to quickly and efficiently get to the root cause of performance problems by identifying which systems are affected by storage issues, so you can take proactive measures to prevent downtime like adjusting resources.
Easily produce capacity trend reports
Storage Resource Monitor is a storage capacity management software designed to enable you to create both predefined and custom reports. These reports can display performance and capacity trends across multiple vendors in your storage environment, providing in-depth insight into the overall health of your storage infrastructure at any given moment.
These out-of-the-box, web-based reports can also help you understand growth rates and forecast costs by providing you access to real-time performance data of your storage infrastructure, including server volumes, NAS volumes, LUNs, storage pools, and more—without the hassle of creating complex spreadsheets to track capacity or managing numerous tools for separate storage vendors.
End-to-end performance visibility across your IT infrastructure

Do you find yourself asking…
Storage capacity, or disk space, is the amount of data a storage device like a cache, USB drive, RAM, hard drive, or optical disk drive can contain. Storage devices are responsible for housing a computer’s data and applications and can either be internal or external to the computer.
For example, cache memory and RAM are internal storage devices your computer relies on to temporarily store data. These are considered the computer’s primary storage devices. Secondary storage devices can either be internal (like a hard drive) or external (like a storage array).
It’s important to remember storage capacity refers to the overall capacity of a storage device, not the capacity remaining after data has already been uploaded to the device. So, while a 64MB drive may only have 32MB remaining after files have been added to it, its storage capacity is still 64MB.
