NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights

Formerly Cloud Insights. The usual starting point for a detached storage assessment.

What it is

Infrastructure monitoring and analytics covering performance, availability, capacity utilisation and security across hybrid estates, spanning multi-vendor storage, databases, networks and servers. For migration work it is used to establish which workloads suit a move and where capacity is genuinely consumed rather than merely provisioned.

What it collectsStorage performance, capacity utilisation, dependencies and resource consumption across multi-vendor infrastructure
How it deploysObservability collectors against your existing infrastructure
Time to usable dataWeeks
We reach for it whenStorage is large, aging, or approaching a renewal, and provisioned-against-used is the question

How we use it

It underpins our detached storage assessment, where the reclamation target is usually the number that changes the business case.

One thing to watch: it is storage and infrastructure focused rather than full-stack, so it tells you nothing about application performance.

Official resources

We would rather point you at the vendor than paraphrase them. What we add is what happens when you run it against a real estate.
