Description
This out-of-the box data integration imports HP Storage Essentials(SE) data into Executive Scorecard. The data is then combined with other data sources, transformed, analyzed, and loaded as metrics on a series of Executive Scorecard tables.
The SE data includes utilization vs. allocation, Storage path compliance and Critical storage events data and is used to build key performance indicators (KPIs) for an executive level view of the organization.
The section below lists the KPIs that display the data extracted from the data source and provide a description of the KPIs and the business motivation for each KPI.
