    SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM) is pretty good at forecasting capacity consumption, which was a must for us. If you have LUNs that have high latency in a normal environment (user shares, for instance), you'll need to customize the alerts to tune out the noise. As with all SW modules and most other products, there is a time lag between what is in the console and what's happening now. Data in the console and alerts are typically 5 to 15 minutes old.

    • Unmasks storage performance metrics and gives a common dashboard for monitoring.
    • A simple, intuitive interface for adding supported storage frames.
    • Lineage -- "The guest OS is connected to the virtual host and the virtual host is connected to the ... wait, what LUN is that?!?" #SOLVED.

    We have a full suite of SolarWinds products and did not evaluate other options for a full package. For selective monitoring we log into the devices, but this has made that much easier as we have a dashboard rather than logging into devices one at a time.

    • Real-time monitoring and alerting to surpass those of native vSphere and in some occasions, better than manufacturer written software.
    • Historical monitoring of environment with charts and graphs to assist with ever changing environment loads.
