Using Storage Viewer for Virtual Servers, you can optimize storage allocation to virtual systems to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Storage Viewer for Virtual Servers complements your virtual management console, with reports that can help you determine if storage resources are over- or under-utilized and if applications running in the virtual environment are contributing to storage access bottlenecks. With Storage Viewer for Virtual Servers, you can easily view the virtual-to-physical relationships to understand what virtual systems are consuming physical storage, and more importantly, how much of that storage is consumed by out-dated, unnecessary snapshot files.

For additional details, see Virtualization Terminology and the Hitachi Storage Viewer User’s Guide for report scope options.
