4. Market Trends • High complexity and inefficiency are driving up storage management costs. • SANs are being adopted to consolidate storage and gain economies of scale. • But without new software, the ROI benefits of SANs cannot be attained. • Storage management intelligence must converge into the network. • Interoperability across multiple vendors must be available. • Integrating multiple point utilities is not an acceptable solution. • Intelligent, policy-driven management will further extend ROI. • Rapid ROI with minimal IT impact drives purchasing decisions.

5. Problems & Challenges • SANs promise to reduce management costs through storage consolidation. • But fundamental problems remain • Inefficient utilization of storage hardware assets • Multiple points of management • Lack of interoperability between multi-vendor systems • Inconsistency among non-integrated point utilities • Inadequate data availability • Reactive storage administration • Separate camps battle for control • Host-based software does not deliver centralized management. • Storage system-based software is proprietary to that vendor. • An open and comprehensive network-based platform for storage management is needed to realize the ROI benefits of SANs.

6. New Software Emerges • Analysts point to new software to tackle storage management challenges. • Storage Virtualization: Provides heterogeneous consolidation of storage assets. 50% CAGR • Storage Resource Management: Provides intelligent reporting tools to identify inefficiencies. 43% CAGR • Storage Network & Device Management: Provides centralized management of heterogeneous storage networks. 36% CAGR • Business Continuance: Provides data protection and disaster tolerance with mirroring and replication. 30% CAGR • While point products exist, none deliver a comprehensive management platform.
