Storage
The Storage tab in Cloudamize provides a detailed view of all discovered storage assets. It enables a per-disk analysis of on-premise or existing cloud storage, offering recommendations for cloud-based solutions to optimize cost and performance.
Detailed Storage Asset Table
The Storage tab is a comprehensive table that lists each disk volume, along with its specific details and Cloudamize's recommendations.
Column Header | Description |
Group Name | User-defined group or logical name for the asset. |
Asset | A user-defined name or unique identifier for the storage asset. |
Server Name | Hostname of the server to which the storage volume is attached. |
Disk | Label or identifier for the specific disk being analyzed. |
Annual Cost ($) | The total projected annual cost for this storage volume in the cloud. |
Region | The cloud region where the storage is recommended to be provisioned. |
Observed Disk Capacity (GB) | Total provisioned storage capacity observed during the analysis. |
Observed Disk Occupancy (GB) | The actual amount of storage used. |
Recommended Storage Type | Recommended cloud storage service (e.g., SSD, HDD, etc.). |
Recommended Cloud Capacity (GB) | Recommended capacity in gigabytes for the cloud storage solution. |
Number of RAID 0 Disks | Number of disks configured in a RAID 0 array. |
Observed Throughput (MBps) | Average data transfer rate (in megabytes per second) that’s observed. |
Recommended Throughput (MBps) | Recommended throughput for the cloud storage solution. |
Peak IOPS | The highest number of input/output operations per second that’s observed. |
Recommended IOPS | Recommended IOPS for the cloud storage solution. |
Peak Type | The type of peak observed (e.g., peak read, peak write). |
Baseline IOPS | Average or baseline IOPS observed during the analysis. |
Baseline Throughput (MBps) | Average or baseline throughput observed. |
Required Capacity for Storage (GB) | Total capacity in GB required to accommodate the data. |
Required Capacity for Performance (GB) | Capacity required to meet specific performance needs (e.g., IOPS, throughput). |
Available Capacity (GB) | Available storage capacity on the volume. |
Required Number of Volumes | Number of volumes required to meet all performance and capacity requirements. |
Required Number of Volumes for IOPS | Number of volumes needed specifically to meet the IOPS requirement. |
Required Number of Volumes for Throughput | Number of volumes needed specifically to meet the throughput requirement. |
Required Number of Volumes for Capacity | Number of volumes needed specifically to meet the capacity requirement. |
Max Allowed Number of Volumes | The maximum number of volumes allowed. |
Ops per Month (Millions) | Total number of input/output operations in millions per month. |
Annual IOPS Cost ($) | Projected annual cost for IOPS. |
Annual Throughput Cost ($) | Projected annual cost for throughput. |
Annual Storage Cost ($) | Projected annual cost for storage capacity. |
ID (server name + uid) | A unique identifier combining the server name and a unique ID. |
Search and Filtering
Search Bar: A search bar at the top allows users to find specific storage assets by Server
NameFilter Options: The "All Infrastructures" dropdown allows for filtering the displayed assets.
The Storage tab is a critical tool for optimizing cloud storage costs and ensuring performance. It helps users select the right type and size of cloud storage by providing data-driven recommendations.
