First Seek To Understand - Then Embark For Change
Today, speed, accuracy and the quality of data are required to provide an understanding of the storage environment. Accurate and current information is a requirement for resource planning, scheduling of day-to-day jobs and operational planning. Since the inception of the storage resource management (SRM) market, organizations have sought to identify opportunities to maximize their storage assets. What has been lacking is an efficient means to know how to optimize storage assets. Recently, the industry has refocused its interests in dealing with this shortcoming due to the critical nature of data storage.
