Claim:
1. A computer program product for providing performance metrics on storage systems, wherein the computer program product comprises a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein that executes to perform operations, the operations comprising: generating a storage system graphical user interface (GUI) rendering indication of a plurality of storage systems, wherein each of the indicated storage systems includes components comprising usable storage space configured in storage devices and computational resources; receiving selection of a plurality of the storage systems from the rendered indication of the storage systems; processing performance metric information in a database for each of the selected storage systems, wherein the performance metric information for each of the selected storage systems includes performance metrics for the storage system; determining, from the performance metric information for each of the selected storage systems, common performance metric types common to the selected storage systems; generating a performance metric selection GUI rendering selectable performance metric types of the determined common performance metric types enabling selection of at least one of the determined common performance metric types common to the selected storage systems; rendering in the performance metric selection GUI a plurality of selectable specific performance metrics for each of selected performance metric types of the determined common performance metric types; in response to user selection of at least one of the rendered specific performance metrics in the performance metric selection GUI for each of the selected performance metric types, determining performance metric values for the at least one of the selected specific performance metrics for each of the selected performance metric types for the selected storage systems; and generating a computer renderable visualization providing a visual comparison of the determined performance metric values for each of the at least one of the selected specific performance metrics for the selected storage systems.
