Running out of storage always seems to happen at the worst possible moment. Sure. On a laptop, it's a hassle. But in the world of enterprise storage, it can bring your organization to its knees when systems can't write new data. The best case scenario is a few applications might hang but more often it leads to widespread outages.
00:22
So in general, something that we want to avoid with pier one capacity management goes from a reactive scramble to a proactive plan. Imagine having a system that not only alerts you before you run out of storage, but also helps you optimize and plan for what's next, keeping your operations smooth and stress free. So let's dive in to how pure one takes the
00:48
guesswork out of capacity planning. Managing capacity is yet another challenge you and your teams face regularly in the old days that meant logging into various storage consoles to manage disc groups and volumes on each array. And this was time consuming and always prone to error due to its repetitive nature.
01:14
But that was then today, we have centralized storage management solutions like pier one that keep close tabs on every array in your fleet letting you know where the risks are in your environment for ongoing capacity management. Pure One's integration with storage subscriptions like Evergreen one is also beneficial where your capacity is managed by pure storage with slas built in.

But today we're diving into pure one's capacity planning capabilities and how this free tool from pure storage helps you manage your storage needs for today and plan for the future. Pier. One is a centralized management tool hosted by pure storage that lets you analyze storage across your environment,
02:03
whether that's volumes, file systems or snapshots for all of your arrays. Early detection is vital when it comes to managing your storage capacity by analyzing past usage and detecting growth patterns. Pier One offers predictive insights looking into the future to estimate when you'll run out of capacity. This gives you ample time to expand or clean up
02:27
your storage before any issues arise. And it doesn't just predict when you'll reach capacity, it makes intelligent recommendations on how much you should add and you can even customize these recommendations and see the impact of different capacity options, giving you more control over your future storage needs. But pure one isn't just about staying ahead of the unexpected.
02:49
It's also about making smart decisions for those projects that you know are coming down the line. You need to bring on a new application or support a growing workload. Pure one's capacity planner can help you model the impact of new workloads on either existing or new storage showing you exactly what's needed to accommodate that growth.
03:09
And if your current storage is close to its limit, you can see how adding extra DF MS will impact capacity with pure one's proactive modeling. You're prepared to scale efficiently and invest in the right capacity from the start. And for those with security in mind, capacity planning goes hand in hand with protecting your data. If you're thinking about adding snapshot
