Claim:
An apparatus for providing a mapping between a namespace and a set of computing resources, the apparatus comprising: an input module configured to obtain a mapping between namespace identifiers of a file system and a group of filesets of a virtual storage device, each fileset comprising a logical segmentation of the virtual storage device, the mapping associating each namespace identifier with a fileset; a data module configured to compile statistical information for each fileset; a format module configured to associate a namespace identifier and a fileset according to the mapping; and an output module configured to provide the namespace identifiers, the associated filesets corresponding to each namespace identifier, and the statistical information for each fileset and to simultaneously present the namespace identifiers, the corresponding fileset names, and the statistical information side by side within a single window such that each fileset name is visually associated with one or more namespace identifiers within the single window and each namespace identifier is visually associated with a corresponding fileset name within the single window.
