EMC Updated SRM Suite 2.0

The insight made possible with the updated EMC Storage Resource Management Suite 2.0 (SRM Suite), means you can help customers get a full circle view to more efficiently manage their IT infrastructure, improve IT ROI, and get ready for the Software Defined Data Center.

SRM Suite 2.0 gives a 360-degree visibility into customers’ storage infrastructure, providing a way to help customers manage their IT investments and increase their ROI.

It helps customers visualize and analyze performance, configurations and capacity growth to optimize their IT environment. But it also has an eye fixed on the future. It will be integrated with EMC’s new ViPR, Software-defined Storage platform, giving customers a management framework to bridge the gap between their current environment and the software defined data centers of the future.

Along with the new Service Assurance Suite, which provides similar features for customers’ network and computing infrastructures, the SRM Suite changes the way IT organizations manage their IT infrastructure. That means more opportunities to add value to your customers-and increase business.

Why sell the SRM Suite?
The SRM Suite helps you become the trusted adviser to your customer and build your business in these ways:

• Increase service revenues and enhance relationship by developing reports for customer that combine data collected by the SRM Suite with company data to provide insight on how IT services are impacting their business.
• Expand your business by selling the SRM Suite into existing EMC and third party storage environments to provide a single pane of glass for storage management
• Increase storage infrastructure deals by attaching storage management to every new storage array
• Advise your customer on new purchases by increasing your insight into new capacity requirements
• Help your customers prepare for the Software Defined Data Center, thanks to SRM Suite’s integration with EMC ViPR, software defined storage.

"EMC is defining the market for software-defined storage," said Bob Laliberte, senior analyst for IT research, analysis, and strategy firm, Enterprise Strategy Group. "The enablement of IT optimization and analytics afforded by Service Assurance Suite and SRM Suite are the result of unprecedented transparency-transparency that only comes with powerful software and a simplified management layer. The integration of these suites with ViPR means that this transparency is real-time and actionable, which are critical in IT organizations today."
