Abstract
A method of determining and depicting an effective storage capacity of a storage system includes determining a storage-based limit of effective storage capacity and a metadata-based limit of effective storage capacity. The storage-based limit is based on an amount of unused capacity of a set of managed drives and a data reduction ratio achieved when host data is reduced prior to storage on the set of managed drives. Data reduction may include compression, deduplication, and pattern detection operations. The metadata-based limit is based on a volume of metadata that has been generated by the data, and the data reduction operations, in connection with writing the data to the set of managed drives, and based on an amount of memory allocated to storing the metadata. The effective storage capacity, actual storage usage, and data reduction ratio are graphically depicted over time to enable changes to these parameters to be visualized.
