Industry Buzz
As we enter 2011, it's important to leave behind the heady enthusiasm of the major events in storage and get back to reality. One of the most important trends affecting storage is the unbridled growth of file data. How we deal with all that growth is an unavoidable issue. Throwing more storage at the problem isn't sustainable. That's why storage optimization is going to play an increasing role in how we manage storage in 2011.

Or will you see it as the turning point that set your shop on the path to greater storage efficiency?

I recently had a conversation with the CIO of a well respected company who informed me that his "data center people" had completely mismanaged his data center space which was now causing them to look at having to lease additional capacity or more aggressively pursue virtualization to solve the problem.

Understand
Arxview presents views of your environment in many different ways, including nested trees, charts, treemaps, tables, and as seen below, dynamic topology views. These views serve as windows into your organization, showing the nested storage hierarchy as well as the logical or business units that depend on those assets. The mapped objects include disks, luns, qtrees, volumes, aggregates, filers, arrays, blade chassis, virtual machines, virtual data centers, regions, and data centers, among others. Arxview adds logical units (business groups, applications, projects, teams, etc) to the mix, allowing you to see at a glance how your company's IT dependencies traverse your entire storage network.
Respond
Arxview monitors live performance and event data from a variety of storage products, and collects them all under one pane of glass. Alerts, both system generated and user created, propagate up through Arxview's logical and physical hierarchies, providing you with an immediate notification of not only the source of the problem, but also the scope. These alerts can be forwarded to third-party systems monitoring applications, closing the gap in total system responsiveness.

Executive Assessment
How does your company's storage management strategy measure up against the following questions?
- Does your IT department spend too much time managing user data?
- Do your business units really know how much storage allocation to request from IT? How do they track their storage use?
- Can you easily map data usage to Lines of Business (division, department, office, user)?
- Can you track data file activity across thousands of file types?
- Do you feel that there is a disconnect between business users and IT when it comes to storage?
- Are you looking to recapture terabytes of storage currently consumed by non-critical, stale or duplicate data?
If any of these questions highlight issues within your own storage environment, your company is not focusing enough on its Storage Resource Management (SRM) challenges.
