What does vCenter Storage Monitoring allow administrators to do?

vCenter Storage Monitoring enables administrators to review detailed information regarding storage usage within their virtualized environment. This capability allows for the tracking of different metrics related to storage performance and capacity, which are crucial for maintaining efficient operations and ensuring that resources are allocated effectively. By monitoring storage usage, administrators can identify trends, predict future storage needs, and promptly address potential issues, such as storage over-provisioning or under-utilization. This insight is pivotal in optimizing resource allocation and planning for future growth within a data center.

The other choices pertain to functionalities not associated with vCenter Storage Monitoring. Modifying virtual machine settings relates to VM management, managing network configurations involves network settings and adjustments, and implementing security baselines concerns the establishment of security standards and policies, none of which are part of the storage monitoring capabilities provided by vCenter.
