Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory, the memory comprising instructions that are executed by the processor to specifically configure the processor to implement a storage reporting and configuration engine. A volume performance data collection component collects a plurality of storage volume performance measures for a plurality of storage volumes within a storage environment. The plurality of storage volume performance measures comprise average input/output operations (IOPs), peak IOPs, average throughput, peak throughput, average latency, and peak latency. A volume performance percentile identification component assigns a percentile category to each performance measure for each volume to generate for each storage volume an average IOPs percentile category, a peak IOPs percentile category, an average throughput percentile category, a peak throughput percentile category, an average latency percentile category, and a peak latency percentile category.
