Storage systems
Monitor the detailed information, such as asset, capacity, and performance data, that is collected about the block, file, and object storage systems in your environment.
Storage systems can be configured for block storage, file storage, object storage, a combination
of block and file storage, or a combination of file and object storage, 
or a
combination of block, file, and object storage.
The method that a storage system uses for
managing data determines the information that IBM Storage
Insights Pro collects about
that storage system.

shown on one or more of these pages:
