NetApp

Exivity integrates with NetApp storage environments to bring storage consumption into a unified IT cost management, reporting, and billing framework.

Consumption metrics from NetApp StorageGRID and other NetApp systems can be collected by Exivity and used for detailed reporting. This enables organizations to understand storage consumption and incorporate it into the overall cost of delivering IT and cloud services.

Storage usage data can be enriched with information such as customers, departments, services, contracts, or other business dimensions. Custom rates and charging rules can then be applied to translate storage consumption into internal costs or customer-facing charges.

For enterprises, this provides greater transparency into how storage resources are consumed and enables showback or chargeback across business units and services. For managed service providers, NetApp consumption data can form part of a usage-based billing model for storage and infrastructure services.

NetApp data can also be combined with compute, virtualization, containers, backup, public cloud, and private cloud consumption in Exivity. This allows storage costs to be viewed as part of the complete cost of delivering a service rather than as an isolated infrastructure expense.
