Storage Dashboard

The IBM Storwize family provides all-flash and hybrid storage solutions with common functionality, management and mobility. These solutions are built with IBM Spectrum Virtualized software to enable efficient, proven data virtualization across IBM and non-IBM storage systems.

The storage performance counters are monitored and the data is fetched by SUMMIT Proxy Server, and collected at the SUMMIT database.
