<p>Thanks Aaron, <br>
</p>
<p>We do indeed have some analytics tools based on our python API
that can extract much of this info in a nice, easy to work with
format. 6-10 minute increments might be slightly aggressive
depending on the metadata spec and the number of object on the
file system, but it's certainly doable. <br>

<p>Andrew, feel free to contact us at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:info@arcastream.com">info@arcastream.com</a> if we can
help - Sounds like a great use case.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Good Morning,</div>

<div dir="ltr">I have a large managed services provider in
Australia who are looking at the benefits of deploying Scale
for a combination of Object storage and basic SMB file
access. This data is typically historical data rather than
highly accessed production data and the proposed services is
designed to be a low cost option - think a private version of
Amazon's Glacier type offering. The proposed solution will
have Platinum - Flash, Gold - SAS, Silver - NL-SAS and
Bronze - Tape tiers with different cost's per Tier</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">One of the questions that they have asked is, how
can they on a regular basis (6-10min increments), poll the
storage array to determine what capacity is stored in what
tier of disk, by company / user, and export the results
(ideally via an API) into their Reporting and Billing system.
They do something similar today for their VMWare farm (6
minute increments), to provide accountability for the number
of virtual machines they are providing, and would like to
extend this capability to their file storage offering, which
today is based on basic virtual windows file servers</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">Is anyone doing something similar today? and if
so at what granularity?</div>
