Storage Resource Management
Last modified: Monday, April 17, 2006
Storage Resource Management (SRM) refers to
software that manages storage
from a capacity, utilization, policy and event-management perspective. This
includes bill-back, monitoring, reporting and analytic capabilities that allow you to
drill down for performance and availability.
Key elements of SRM include asset management, charge back, capacity
management, configuration management, data and media migration, event
management, performance and availability management, policy management, quota
management, and media management. [Adapted from
