Explanation:
Monitoring Storage Infrastructure
Monitoring is one of the most important aspects that forms the basis for managing storage
infrastructure resources. Monitoring provides the performance and accessibility status of various
components. It also enables administrators to perform essential management activities.
Monitoring also helps to analyze the utilization and consumption of various storage infrastructure
resources. This analysis facilitates capacity planning, forecasting, and optimal use of these
resources. Storage infrastructure environment parameters such as heating, ventilating and airconditioning (HVAC) are also monitored.
The key storage infrastructure components that should be monitored are:
• Servers
• Network
• Storage arrays
These components could be physical or virtualized. Each of these components should be
monitored for accessibility, capacity, performance and security.
