Abstract/Artist Statement
This project integrates Google Analytics into Storage Snapshot, a tool developed by Intel allowing users to determine bottlenecks in their system. Storage Snapshot runs on enterprise systems concurrently with a workload to look at system performance as a whole. Aspects the tool looks at include: CPU usage, memory usage, network usage, and mainly storage utilization. Users using the tool are able to determine how hardware upgrades can increase performance. The main benefit of Storage Snapshot is to allow users to scale up instead of scaling out. This maximizes a user’s return on investment. The main benefit of integrating Google Analytics is to allow Intel to view how end customers are using the tool. With this information, we can learn how to improve the tool as well as target specific customers with the correct solutions. For example, if we can see users consistently skipping over an area of important information, we can move that information to a more visible location. Without Google Analytics, the tool would just be a tool. Now it is a customer solution and a way for Intel to enhance future innovative products.
