Tracking Capacity Optimization (Inline Deduplication and Compression)

Tracking Capacity Optimization for a Server

After a server is set up, and virtual disks are using Capacity Optimization, DataCore Web Console displays relevant statistics on Server Details page, on the Info tab. In the lower half of the page, there are several performance measures and a list of pools with Capacity Optimization enabled.

The following performance indicators are available:

• How much of the available capacity optimization storage on the server is being used
• Compression ratio
• Deduplication ratio
• How many virtual disks from the server are configured to use capacity optimization
• How much storage would have actually been used if Capacity Optimization was not enabled

Tracking Capacity Optimization for a Pool

You can track Capacity Optimization for pools from the Server Details page on the Disk Pools tab:

• How much of the available capacity optimization storage on the server is being used

• How much of the standard storage in the pool is being used

• How much storage would have actually been used if Capacity Optimization was not enabled

Tracking Capacity Optimization for a Virtual Disk Details page

From the Server Details page on the Virtual Disks tab, you can see whether Capacity Optimization settings are enabled for a virtual disk (Inline Deduplication and/or Inline Compression).
