Enterprise Reporter provides sample reports that you can use to make more informed business decisions about datacenter storage. You can enhance sample reports by making changes, such as the following:

Apply your organization's specific geographical and business views to the data.
Customize the styles and colors to match your corporate standards.
Use the reports as the basis for a new set of reports.

The various sample reports fall into the following major categories:

Utilization	Get insight into how efficiently you are running your storage environment. Includes array, host, switch, and database utilization subcategories.
Storage Allocation and Chargeback	View the allocation of array storage to hosts by tiers. You can also see storage allocation costs.
Inventory	List the objects in your storage environment by object type (array, switch, operating system, and database).
Network Appliance	View information about NetApp storage devices and associated file data in your storage environment.
Operational	Interact with lists that give you detailed insight into databases, file systems, and switches that are running low on resources.
