Community Performance Statistics for a Domain
To configure Community Participation at the Domain level
Before you can share array performance statistics with similarly configured arrays in the broader community to gauge your environment’s performance, you must enable Community participation.
Performance profiles are securely transmitted (over https) as anonymous and aggregated with other customers’ profile data in Profile Central—the community pool hosted at APTARE, Inc., which is then imported into a customer’s profile for reporting purposes. This import/export task occurs in a single, daily scheduled Portal process. Using the aggregated community profiles, companies can better gauge if the metrics collected in their environments are within a normal performance range. Profile data cannot be associated with any contributor. No company or environment-specific details, such as storage array or hosts, are transmitted. No personally identifiable information is collected, used, or disclosed.
The Administrator can enable participation in two different ways—either will enable participation for the arrays in the specified Domain:
• Configure Community Performance Profiling: This enables a multi-domain organization (such as a Managed Services Provider) to configure participation on a Domain-by-Domain basis, selecting only the Domains that are authorized to participate.
IMPORTANT: To enable participation in Community Performance Profiling Cloud Policies, an authorized representative of your company must opt-in. See Adding/Editing a Cloud Policy to Share Performance Statistics.
