Abstract:
Techniques to account for storage consumption and capacity allocation across heterogeneous storage objects are disclosed. A capacity accountability system can ascertain a set of heterogeneous storage objects provisioned for a storage consumer, where the heterogeneous storage objects is categorized by storage object hierarchy levels. The capacity accountability system can then identify an association between the storage consumer and a storage object hierarchy level and account for storage object consumption and storage capacity allocation of the storage consumer by normalizing storage consumption data and capacity allocation data at the storage object hierarchy level across the heterogeneous storage objects.
