[gpfsug-discuss] Is anyone performing any kind of Charge back / Show back on Scale today and how do you collect the data

[Kevin D Johnson]

Take a look at IBM Spectrum LSF or Spectrum Analytics.  The raw data can be provided by Scale's perfmon data but the above solutions can graph and report on it.

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

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
