Hybrid Storage Pool



• Automatic real-time visualization of

application and storage workloads

• Customer use examples of ZFS analytics:

– System Utilization: Biotech company pinpoints disk

bottlenecks (high utilization % or high IOPs) and

under-use of disks

– System Performance: Web Services company

resolves client read performance issues by correlating

with specific storage write operations

– Tuning: Finances Services company pinpoints partial-

block update issues not seen with NetApp

– Load balancing: US bank visualizes and rebalances

system resources for critical file systems
