Storage resource management

Add article description

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 [citation needed] 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.[citation needed] 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.[citation needed]

SRM evolved beyond quota management. As of 2012 it included functions such as storage area network (SAN) management.
