Storage resource management
In computing, storage resource management (SRM) involves optimizing the efficiency and speed with which a storage area network (SAN) utilizes available drive space.[1]
History
Data growth averages around 50% to 100% per year. Organisations face rising hardware-costs and the increased costs of managing their storage. Storage professionals who face out-of-control data-growth are looking at SRM to help them navigate the storage environment. SRM identifies underutilized capacity, identifies old or non-critical data that could be moved to less-expensive storage, and helps predict future capacity requirements.
SRM evolved beyond quota management. As of 2012 it included functions such as storage area network (SAN) management.
Examples
Examples of SRM include:
- NetApp OnCommand Insight (OCI)[2] - (formerly known as Onaro SANScreen).
- Symantec
- Northern Parklife
- IBM (Tivoli Storage Productivity Center)
- EMC Corporation
- IntelliMagic, Inc. [3]
- SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor
- Visual Storage Intelligence®
