Storage resource management
In computing, storage resource management involves optimizing the efficiency and speed with which a storage area network utilizes available drive space.History
Data growth averages around 50% to 100% per year and organizations face rising hardware and storage management costs. Storage professionals who face out-of-control data growth are looking at SRM to help them navigate the storage environment. SRM identifies under-utilized 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. it included functions such as storage area network management.
