A Powerful, Configurable Tool
Quotas can be defined for specific individual users or groups, or create default quotas that control disk usage for anyone accessing the cluster. Hard, soft and advisory limits can be set across the organization for specific users and groups, and across various directory structures. Alerts can be configured to give users email notifications when quota limits are approaching, to enforce hard stops on writes or provide a grace period before enforcing thresholds. When new users need to be added or directory structures need to be changed, SmartQuotas allows you to change quota policies on the fly easily meeting the changing storage requirements of your business
