Table 7. File Storage Analysis Reports
Report Name	Description
File Storage Analysis Overview	Shows a high-level summary of storage information for your network and highlights immediate storage needs to be addressed. The overview is based on all completed file storage analysis discoveries. You can drill down through the server name, categories, extensions and users to view more detailed reports. Contains a parameter to specify the percentage of used space that indicates critical capacity for this report.
Capacity Planning
Capacity Planning	Shows storage growth and highlights any areas of critical capacity across your enterprise. NOTE: Growth trends are based on historical collections. If multiple collections are not available for comparison, growth projections are not available. This report is useful for evaluating your enterprise when capacity planning and for assessing servers during migration projects. It serves as an integral part of storage administration activities. You can drill down through the server name and the user name to view more detailed reports. A line graph displays the total enterprise growth by displaying the total amount of used space for all servers.
Server Capacity	Shows server capacity information. You can specify the percentage of used space that determines if a server is reaching critical capacity. You can drill down through the server name to view the Server Details report. NOTE: Estimated Days Until Critical Capacity indicates how many days it is expected to take for the server to reach the value set as critical capacity (a default of 80%) based on the current analysis of data increase per day. This report highlights servers that may be running out of disk space so that action can be taken. You can also use this report during server consolidation project planning to determine which servers to migrate first. A bar chart displays the top 10 servers sorted by days until critical capacity and indicates the percentage of used and free disk space.
Server Details	Shows server details with volume and share usage information for the selected servers. You can drill down through the logical disk or the share name to view detailed reports. This report is useful for determining your consolidation approach and for capacity planning. A pie chart displays the percentage of used and free disk space. Contains a parameter to select the server to be included in this report.
Server Growth	Shows server growth information for the selected server. Growth details are sorted by dates of discovery runs. NOTE: Note: Growth trends are based on historical collections. If multiple collections are not available for comparison, growth projections are not available. This report allows you to track the percentage of used space over time for servers and provides a snapshot of used and available space for each time the discovery was run. This report is useful for evaluating servers when planning migration projects and serves as an integral part of server administration. Contains parameters to select the server and the number of weeks/months/years to be included in the report.
Server Summary by Domain	Shows the total, used, and free disk space on each server in the selected domains. Servers are grouped by domain and sorted by server name. You can drill down through the server name to view the Server Details report. The Server Summary by Domain report is of critical importance when planning your consolidation projects since it provides the data volume information you can use to determine the scope of a consolidation project. Contains a parameter to select the domain to be included in the report.
Top Volumes	Shows top volumes sorted by used space. You can drill down through the server name and the logical disk name to view more detailed reports. A bar chart helps you visually compare the used space on the volumes. Contains a parameter to select the number of volumes to included in the report.
Volume Capacity	Shows volume capacity information. You can specify the percentage of used space that is used to determine if a volume is reaching critical capacity. You can drill down through the server name and the logical disk name to view more detailed reports. Identifying the volumes can help you create capacity projections, determine critical volumes for file cleanup or archiving activities, or plan an approach for server consolidation projects. A bar chart indicates the top 10 volumes sorted by days until critical capacity and indicates the percentage of used and free space. Contains a parameter to specify the percentage of used space that indicates critical capacity for the report.
Volume Details	Shows the volume details for the selected servers. You can also drill down through the logical disk to view a file summary for the volume. This report helps with ongoing capacity planning such as identifying volumes where disk space optimizations (cleanup, compression, or file offloading) are required. You can also use this report during server consolidation project planning to determine which servers and volumes to migrate first. A pie chart displays the percentage of used and free disk space. Contains parameters to select the servers and volumes to be included in the report.
Files and Folders
File Categories	Shows details on the file categories that are used to group files in Enterprise Reporter. Lists the default types of files contained in each category. A file category contains various types of files or other file categories. Contains a parameter to select the file category to be included in the report.
File Category Details	Shows the file extensions that are included in the selected category on the selected servers. Categories are sorted by size. You can drill down through a file extension to view the File Information by Extension report.

A bar chart displays the top 10 file extensions in the category based on size. Contains parameters to select the server and the file category to be included in the report.
File Summary	Shows file summary information for the selected servers and volumes. You can drill down through the section titles to view more detailed reports. This report is useful for estimating migration schedules since the time needed to migrate data in large files is significantly less than the time needed to migrate the same amount of data in small files. A bar chart displays the number of files in each file size grouping. Another bar chart displays the actual space consumed by the files in each file size grouping. Contains the parameters to select the server and the volume to be included in the report.
Files by Category	Shows files grouped into pre-defined categories that are sorted by size. You can drill down through the file category name to view a detailed report of files in the category. This report is useful for identifying the files that you want to remove or migrate to a different storage location. A bar chart displays the categories sorted by size. Contains parameters to select the server and the category to be included in the report.
Folder Categories	Shows details on the folder categories that are used to group folders in Enterprise Reporter. Lists the default folder paths contained in each category and describes the types of files typically found in the folders.
Folders by Category	Shows folders grouped in pre-defined categories that are sorted by used space. This report is useful for identifying groups of folders that you want to remove or migrate to a different storage location. A bar chart displays the amount of used space per category. Contains parameters to select the server and the folder category to be included in the report.
Storage Cleanup	Shows storage areas across your enterprise where you can potentially reclaim space through data cleanup or by migrating files to different storage locations. The report is based on all completed server discoveries. You can also drill down through the server name to view more detailed reports. Note: This information is only available if NTFS discoveries have been completed with the duplicate file collection option enabled. This report is useful for assessing your current storage needs prior to migration and as a part of regular data cleanup operations. A pie chart displays the total amount of space recommended for cleanup on all servers.
Top File Extensions	Shows top file extensions sorted by size. You can drill down through any file extension to view the File Information by Extension report.
