Storage Growth

Enter used and total capacity and the growth rate (TB/month or %/month) and I compute when you hit the alert threshold and 100%, with the month-by-month projection.

Capacity
TB
TB

Used capacity today and the pool's total capacity.

Growth model
TB/mo

How many TB usage grows each month (constant).

Occupancy level that triggers the alert. Usually set to 8090 %.

Month-by-month projection

How it is computed · linear vs. compound

Linear. Usage grows a fixed amount of TB each month. Months to a target: months = (target − used) / rate.

Compound. Usage grows a percentage r over the previous level: used × (1 + r)ⁿ = target, so n = ln(target / used) / ln(1 + r).

Threshold. The threshold target is target = total × threshold / 100. 100% is simply the total.

Projection. Capacity at N months: linear used + rate × N; compound used × (1 + r)ᴺ.

! This is an estimate that assumes a steady rate. Real growth varies with retention, compression, deduplication and project spikes. Plan the expansion before hitting the threshold, not at 100%.
