What is Dell Storage Resource Manager?

Storage Resource Manager (SRM) from Dell was built to manage the complexity of growing, heavily virtualized storage environments. With SRM, users obtain detailed relationship and topology views from the application, to the virtual or physical host, down to the LUN to identify service dependencies. Users can also view performance trends across the data path and identify hosts competing for resources. SRM helps to understand and manage the impact that storage has on applications. With this insight, the user can optimize storage resources to control the cost of rapid data growth.
