8.2 Port Consumption Forecast

With this report you are able to monitor storage resources consumption to ensure that your organization is on track as planned. The report helps you determine where and when current port usage trends will negatively impact resource availability. Areas shaded in red indicate less than four months of capacity resources remain:
Click on a link in any column or row in the table. The Switch Port Capacity Planning by Timeframe [Usable Capacity] report opens. If you click on a vendor, then the report shows only that vendor and all port speeds. If you click on a port speed, the report will show all vendors and only that port speed. If you click on the number, the report will only show that vendor and that port speed.
This report provides a forecast of future port consumption by data center, switch vendor and port speed to determine when additional ports are needed:
8.2.1 Using Colors

Colors are indicators for the thresholds and can be finely granulated. For positive far intersection, use 99. For negative slope, use 99.1. For example, you can set the thresholds as follows (in months):
