NetApp Solidfire Performance and Capacity Monitoring

For many years we support NetApp SolidFire, so you can monitor and analyze your NetApp SolidFire HCI systems configuration and performance metrics. Correlate events and metrics from your Storage system, the underlying operating system and the related infrastructure components (VMware vSphere Datastores aso.). Troubleshoot issues using our efficient data crawler and preconfigured dashboards.

NetApp SolidFire is a business division of NetApp Inc. that specializes in all-flash storage systems. NetApp acquired SolidFire in early 2016 with the intention of selling its arrays to cloud providers and customers looking to build private clouds, end user computing and workload consolidation.
