In computing, storage resource management (SRM) involves optimizing the efficiency and speed with which a storage area network (SAN) utilizes available drive space. [1]
Data growth averages around 50% to 100% per year [ citation needed] and organizations face rising hardware and storage management costs. Storage professionals who face out-of-control data growth are looking at SRM to help them navigate the storage environment.[ citation needed] SRM identifies under-utilized capacity, identifies old or non-critical data that could be moved to less expensive storage, and helps predict future capacity requirements.[ citation needed]
SRM evolved beyond quota management. As of 2012 [update] it included functions such as storage area network (SAN) management.
