Abstract
A method of accessing tape storage analytics data from tape libraries. The method includes generating a user interface on client devices. The user interface includes a first screen displaying graphics or an analysis table based on the tape storage analytics data. The method includes receiving user input selecting the displayed graphics or an item within a cell of the analysis table and displaying a second screen, which presents a subset of the tape storage analytics data and provides data on operation of at least tape libraries or library components (e.g. robots, elevators, CAPs, passthrough ports), tape drives, and tape media within the tape libraries, or alternatively, activities involving any or a combination of these components. The receiving and modifying steps are repeated to navigate between data corresponding to a tape library or its comprising components, a tape drive, media, or corresponding activities.
