PV Capacity Forecast
Analyzes storage growth trends and predicts when persistent volumes will reach capacity, triggering auto-expansion.
Overview
PV Capacity Forecast tracks storage usage patterns for all Persistent Volumes in your cluster and predicts when they will reach capacity limits. This enables proactive storage expansion before applications experience disk full errors or outages.
By analyzing historical growth rates and usage patterns, Wave can forecast storage needs weeks in advance, allowing you to plan expansion or trigger automated PV expansion before critical capacity issues occur.
Why Better Than Reactive Storage Monitoring
| Reactive Monitoring | Wave PV Forecast | |
|---|---|---|
| Monitoring Approach | Alert when storage reaches 80-90% full—often too late | Predictive alerts days/weeks before capacity breach |
| Outage Prevention | Reactive scrambling to expand storage during incidents | Proactive expansion scheduled during maintenance windows |
| Automation | Manual intervention required for each expansion | Automatic trigger of PV Auto-Expansion based on forecast |
Key Outcomes & Benefits
Eliminate emergency storage expansion and application disruptions
Get 2-4 weeks advance notice of storage capacity needs
Seamlessly triggers PV Auto-Expansion action when needed
How It Works
1. Storage Tracking
Monitors all PV usage patterns including data growth rates and usage trends over time.
2. Growth Analysis
ML models analyze historical storage consumption to identify linear and seasonal growth patterns.
3. Capacity Prediction
Forecasts when each PV will reach capacity limits based on current growth trajectory.
4. Automated Response
Triggers PV Auto-Expansion or alerts operations team with expansion recommendations.
