Storage Resource Management Solutions

Author(s): John Sloan

Storage Resource Management (SRM) provides a comprehensive view and framework for achieving goals of optimum allocation and utilization of storage across large, complex, and heterogeneous infrastructures.

This research note takes an in-depth, comparative look at key players in the SRM tools market. Coverage includes:

  • A comprehensive overview of the current SRM vendors.
  • A graphical and text-based comparison of leading products in the SRM market, including relative vendor and product ratings.
  • A summary of the relative strengths and challenges of each product.

Amid ever-growing capacity and compliance demands, Info-Tech sees enterprise storage management as a significantly under-attended area. Enterprises with large and complex storage infrastructures should apply SRM tools to managing this growing resource or be managed by it.
