Configure Community Performance Profiling
To enable participation in Community Performance Profiling Policies, an authorized representative of your company must opt-in by following these steps:
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 host names, are transmitted. No personally identifiable information is collected, used, or disclosed.
This Publish Benchmark Data feature 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 in community array performance profiling.
1. In the Portal Toolbar, select Admin > Advanced > Publish Benchmark Data.
2. Check the box for the Domain that will share data with the community, confirming that you are authorized on behalf of your company to opt-in. Typically, only one Domain is listed. Multiple Domains are listed in Managed Services Provider Portals.
**Note that you may opt-out at any time by de-selecting the Domain.**
3. If your organization connects to the Internet via a proxy server, click Configure proxy server and supply the server name and port number.
4. Click Connect Now to verify the connection and to export any existing Performance Profiles, aggregate with the Cloud, and return to the Portal.
