Management overview

Imply Polaris lets you scale the data storage capacity of your project for optimal cost and performance. To view the current usage or to adjust the size of your project, go to Management > Project Size in the Polaris UI.

This topic provides an overview of the project size management capabilities included in Polaris.

Prerequisites

You need to have one of following permissions assigned to your user account to access the Project Size page:

• AccessScaling provides read-only access to the Project Size page.
• AdministerScaling provides read and write access to the Project Size page. A user requires this permission to change the size of a project.

Project size

The Project Size page provides a summary of your current data usage and displays available project sizes.

Each size is defined by the following parameters:

• vCPU: number of virtual processors
• Memory: amount of memory
• Storage: maximum usable storage space

Scale a project

To scale a project vertically, select the next size up or down from the list of available options. When scaling down, if the size of your data exceeds the space available, you must reduce the amount of data to fit within the selected storage size. If you do not see the project size that meets your needs, please contact Polaris customer support.
