Abstract
A method is provided for identifying areas for performance improvement in data storage systems. The method includes the following steps: (1) sampling a performance metric during operation of the data storage system; (2) presenting to a user a performance history that is indicative of how the data storage system is performing over a period of time; (3) permitting the user to select an evaluation interval of the performance history; (4) determining whether the performance metric is at a level for desired performance of the data storage system for the selected evaluation interval; and (5) providing at least one suggestion to the user that would help improve performance of the data storage system in the event that the performance metric is not at the level for optimal performance.
