Out of Space Prediction |

Predict and manage "out of space" problems Creating a query to predict and manager
out of space problems is easy. The query consists of FileName,
FileSize, and Create Date.
Click image to expand Figure 1 Space Usage Query FileWizard assists you in planning for storage growth. This chart shows the cumulative number of bytes created in a year, overlaid with a line representing the rate of growth of the stored data.
FileWizard makes it easy to see how fast space is being consumed and projecting out of space events. The graph plots file sizes versus create dates to show cumulative space used. The red line is a least squares linear regression on the data points to project an out of space date. Click image to expand Figure 1 Cumulative Space Usage Chart Looking at Figure 1, we see that 9.3MB of space are used each day and the 48GB of free space will not be used untill 2022. So here is one volume we won't worry about immediately.
A different volume tells a different story. Here we see usage at 74.6MB per day which will result in out of space on Feb 23, 2010. With FileWizard's analytical tools we have enough time to review our storage strategy and to get the necessary approvals for additional storage space.
