The management of all electronic data is a task that can be particularly difficult for an organization of any size to undertake.
As technology develops and organizations expand, there is an almost continual growing need for an organization to have in place a suitable storage management system that can meet their needs, as the result of developing technology and growing organizations means a storage management system implemented even 12 or 18 months ago isn't likely to be able to meet all of the requirements of the organization today.
It is understandably a worrying concern for many organizations, as without an effective storage management system, vital data could not only be lost, but permanently deleted, something which could have a substantially detrimental effect on all aspects of business.
While there are numerous storage management systems available, all of which promote various different services, it's not a matter of simply choosing the system that is newest or the cheapest, but the one which provides the most suitable array of features for your individual needs should be looked at first and foremost.
And the first point you need to determine is exactly what features you require.
For instance, asset management is a particularly attractive feature, as it can help IT managers tremendously when it comes to tracking all of an organization's IT / technology related assets, from software licenses through to maintenance contracts.
An event tracking system is also a feature that very often receives substantial praise. Although they will vary between systems, the basic premise of an event tracking system is that they allow for IT managers to easily view the health of their storage management environments, very often alerting them and providing specific information to as and when an error has taken - or could potentially take - place.
Similarly, automated recovery tracking is something that while not wide spread in terms of its use at present, due to it being a new feature available to many service management systems, is of particular interest, as it can reduce both costs and resources substantially, by automating the testing of data recovery processes on a continuous basis.
What your organization requires in terms of a storage management system will largely depend upon your individual requirements. However, there are certain aspects and features of systems that all organizations can look for in a storage management system to ensure that it remains as up-to-date as possible - and the features mentioned here are just the start.
