storage management

Storage management is a general storage industry phrase that is used to describe the tools, processes, and policies used to manage storage networks and storage services such as virtualization, replication, mirroring, security, compression, traffic analysis and other services. The phrase storage management also encompasses numerous storage technologies including process automation, real-time infrastructure products and storage provisioning.

In some cases, the phrase storage management may be used in direct reference to Storage Resource Management (SRM) -- software that manages storage from a capacity, utilization, policy and event-management perspective.
