Storage Resource Management Tool

Storage resource management can rely on different methods and protocols for collecting storage infrastructure data to identify opportunities to improve performance. By populating data-driven dashboards, the comprehensive reports the tool provides help paint a complete picture of storage infrastructure across devices. 

Many organizations rely on storage arrays from multiple vendors. However, managing each of these devices is no easy task, which is why some may end up attempting to manually track storage performance and capacity planning using spreadsheets. 

With a proactive approach to storage resource management, there’s no more sifting through spreadsheets to spot capacity trends or identify root causes of performance problems. The aggregation of data provided by storage resource management software means admins no longer need the endless spreadsheets and can rely on a single, unified platform. 

Cross-stack IT data correlation also plays a critical role in storage resource management, as it allows admins to overlay performance metrics from multiple data sources—network, virtualization, storage, and database—and even drill down into specific areas of interest through drag-and-drop functions. The combination of these features in a robust resource management approach helps simplify storage management, so organizations can more easily keep tabs on their entire storage environment.
