Announcing a New 451 Special Report from
Storage Resource Management
Even in the face of declining IT budgets, storage expenditure is increasing. The cost of storage management is far outstripping the storage hardware element. The ultimate aim is to treat storage as a utility - and storage resource management (SRM) is the first step toward this. The451 defines and segments this market, providing analysis of the main companies and leading startups, and offers SWOT analysis and a look at future developments for each segment. The report provides actionable conclusions for companies, from whichever part of the value chain, to be winners in this market.
Why is this market regarded as having such potential? Storage infrastructures are becoming increasingly distributed and complex, with large organizations implementing a variety of storage topologies, including NAS, SAN and DAS, and a range of standards, such as fiber channel and IP-storage (like iSCSI). There is a strong value in aggregating this distributed picture through a single, centralized console, which can be used by IT administrators, IT managers and board-level directors. This centralization can allow the IT department to focus on more important issues, such as capacity planning and implementing disaster recovery strategies.
The451 is pleased to announce the publication of an extensive new report on the SRM market. The report provides a comprehensive view of the market and its future direction, including strategic assessments of competitors - the major players, new market entrants, a group of players to watch and the future market development.
This report assesses the realism behind the claims of the SRM proponents, analyzing current progress and examining potential. There are assessments of the wider technology trends, including whether SRM can lead to the widespread usage of storage virtualization (comprehensively analyzed in a previous the451 report). The report offers clear recommendations for companies providing hardware, systems management, storage software and services, as well as for CIOs and investors.
A key element of the report is determining winners and losers, with over 40 companies analyzed. A number of well-funded startups are now entering the market, with solutions built from the ground up to address SRM. Major vendors in the storage space are looking to license, acquire or build SRM functionality over the short term in order to broaden their offerings and tap into the SRM opportunity. These vendors include IBM Tivoli, Veritas, EMC and Microsoft.
