What are you guys doing to provide storage statistics to your administrators for growth and budget forecasting? We run DFM, but I'm struggling to translate the statistics we get from it into something the administration can understand and act upon.
Thanks in advance for the help,

We didn't really like DFM for our environment. It wasn't 100% what we wanted for a fleet like ours. So we opted for the build our own process. Using SNMP, rsh/ssh and some ontapi stuff (in the next release). If you have the means to roll your own, you actually have a good deal of tools from NetApp to do this.
