Asset Management • Capacity Planning • Configuration Management • Event Management • Storage Reporting • Usage Management Track & record storage assets Analyze trends, predict requirements Determine arrangement of physical storage Monitor, diagnose, take action Identify consumption and nature of data Automate enterprise storage policies • Performance Management Optimize storage & improve system bottlenecks StorCast ESRM Defined

  5. Are You a Candidate for ESRM? Have you experienced… Are you… - Increased demand for storage? - Considering or using SAN/NAS? - System downtime due to storage-related issue(s)? - Experiencing reduction in IT staff or budgets? - Users storing non-business data online? - Spending 8+ hr/wk managing storage?

  6. Where do you fall in the Storage Management Gap?
