# SpaceFinder Web UI Overview

21st Century Software SpaceFinder Storage Management Solutions (SSMS) v3.2 is a comprehensive application that delivers fast, flexible reporting and storage management for the Enterprise. It is a useful and powerful tool for the visualization of data. SSMS includes the following fully integrated components:

- Pools/Volumes: Storage management reporting from a single point of reference, with comprehensive online analysis and both ad hoc and batch reporting for DASD volumes, device types, dataset names and organizations, storage groups, storage classes, management classes, data classes, and other allocation attributes.
- Datasets: Complete, interactive storage-reporting and storage-modeling tool for planning, implementing, and managing the DFSMS environment. Datasets reports on DFSMS usage by storage group, storage class, data class, and management class. In addition, it identifies inhibitors and unsupported datasets that prevent DFSMS migration.
- Tape: Provides tape usage evaluation within the enterprise for volumes, datasets, HSM, and logical pools.
- DFSMShsm Mgmt: Models and reports DFSMShsm savings and activity, including MCDS, BCDS, and SMF records created by DFHSM. This component makes dataset associations with HMIG datasets, including small-dataset packing options. DFSMShsm Mgmt reports on DFHSM activity such as recall rate; migration and backup failures; and activity by dataset, application, or user. A real-time component allows you to monitor DFHSM activity as it occurs. A DFHSM Query facility allows the user to issue DFHSM QUERY commands from SpaceFinder and capture the output of the command to a report dataset.
