What you can do with CommandCentral Enterprise Reporter

Enterprise Reporter includes a global view of storage with the ability to roll up information from multiple data centers into a single comprehensive view—organized by lines of business, geography, application, or other customized views. It can help compare trends across continents, find the application consuming the most storage in a particular data center, or locate the business unit consuming more than its fair share of storage.

Storage administrators can use Enterprise Reporter along with CommandCentral Storage. While CommandCentral Storage provides an operational view of storage data primarily for storage administrators, Enterprise Reporter summarizes this data across data centers and integrates business information, allowing for a global view for CIOs, directors, and business unit leaders.

For example, business leaders use Enterprise Reporter to identify storage trends (such as an alarming regional growth rate of tier 1 storage). Then, administrators use CommandCentral Storage to help ensure that the appropriate storage service is being delivered to the business.
