This paper looks at best practices for managing storage availability. The challenge is to enable the storage administrator with tools and practices that can ensure high availability, maintain service levels, and reduce administration costs. The first part builds a case for why a comprehensive best practice management approach is required, what this might be, and how it can be integrated into systems management. The second part looks at how this best practice can be implemented for storage infrastructures built from IBM TotalStorage hardware and IBM Tivoli Software management products. tech news

Today's information storage challenges are widespread and well known. Although raw storage costs are decreasing, organizations are spending increasingly more on storage acquisition and management. And in spite of economic conditions, storage consumption - and the amount of storage that needs to be managed - continues to grow exponentially. Networked storage and consolidation efforts such as deployment of SAN and/or NAS solutions have provided some relief by helping ease management costs, improve asset utilization, and increase flexibility and scalability. Implementing a solution to deliver storage as a service delivers the benefits of outsourcing - cost reductions and control of the data. tech news
