Storage Resource Management (SRM), given the growth in storage capacity, the increased emphasis on performance, and the number of storage systems IT is implementing, should be the most popular application category within the storage market. The reality is that SRM is far from the most popular; it may be the least popular.
Most organizations have not adopted an SRM solution and often count on siloed vendor tools or worse, Excel spreadsheets. The primary challenges to adoption are that SRM offerings are often more complicated than the stand-alone solutions, don’t provide a complete view of the storage infrastructure, and are incredibly expensive.
In this webinar, George Crump, Lead Analyst at Storage Switzerland, and Phil Godwin, President and COO at Clear Technologies, discuss the problems with current SRM solutions and how to solve them.
George Crump is the Chief Marketing Officer at VergeIO, the leader in Ultraconverged Infrastructure. Prior to VergeIO he was Chief Product Strategist at StorONE. Before assuming roles with innovative technology vendors, George spent almost 14 years as the founder and lead analyst at Storage Switzerland. In his spare time, he continues to write blogs on Storage Switzerland to educate IT professionals on all aspects of data center storage. He is the primary contributor to Storage Switzerland and is a heavily sought-after public speaker. With over 30 years of experience designing storage solutions for data centers across the US, he has seen the birth of such technologies as RAID, NAS, SAN, Virtualization, Cloud, and Enterprise Flash.
