What does vCenter Storage Monitoring allow administrators to do?

vCenter Storage Monitoring provides administrators with the capability to review information on storage usage, which is crucial for effective management of storage resources within a vSphere environment. This feature allows for insights into how much storage is being utilized by virtual machines and datastores, including performance metrics and capacity trends.

By using storage monitoring, administrators can identify potential issues such as overprovisioned or underutilized storage, proactively manage storage capacity, and ensure that their environments are optimized for performance. This information can help in making informed decisions about storage allocation, performance tuning, and planning for future storage needs.

While modifying virtual machine settings, managing network configurations, and implementing security baselines are important administrative functions, they do not specifically pertain to storage monitoring. Therefore, the ability to review storage usage is the primary focus of vCenter Storage Monitoring.
