• Automatic real-time visualization of
application and storage workloads
• Customer use examples of ZFS analytics:
– System Utilization: Biotech company pinpoints disk
bottlenecks (high utilization % or high IOPs) and
under-use of disks
– System Performance: Web Services company
resolves client read performance issues by correlating
with specific storage write operations
– Tuning: Finances Services company pinpoints partial-
block update issues not seen with NetApp
– Load balancing: US bank visualizes and rebalances
system resources for critical file systems
