SNIA Expands its Focus to “Information”
Focusing on “Storage” or “Storage Networking” per se is no longer sufficient
Transition started in 2004/5
Technology alone is too abstract to map business drivers Storage Information
– Information has business value that changes over time – Information needs a managed life cycle
Server Application– Why is the information important? – How is the information used?
Network Infrastructure– including mobile resources
And add the Users!– Who uses the Information?– When and Where do they need access?

The Bigger Picture For SNIA
Storage Service: methods for managing the storage
Storage Service Client
Storage Policies
Create, Modify, Maintain, …
Storage Policies: determine behavior of storage management
Information Policies

Storage Services (i.e. config service)
Provision Storage: Volumes, Mirrors, Policies…
Policy “Managers”: policy runtime and execution environment
Manage Policies: control lifecycle of the policies themselves

Services: where automation take place
Communication is via SMI-S over CIM-XML and

New Development Considerations for SNIA
Some important driversPoint data management products with Proprietary Interfaces
Backup, Archive, File-systems, etc.
Driving business priorities remains a difficult manual coordination processIT users’ struggle to identify all data locationsNeed to achieve Regulatory ComplianceInformation Lifecycle ManagementInformation Assurance
Existing Elements:Backup software has “policies” for moving (copying) data - based on data protectionHSM software has policies for moving data based on time and saving costsFCAS devices have policies for retaining dataSRM software can tell you who is using data and how much of it you have
Existing standards to leverageILM - beginnings of a data mover/placement profile(s)NFSv4, (others) - extended attributes (needs common model)SMI-S – Data Policies (QoS for filesystems? pNFS profile?)File Movers
NDMP, Grid FTP, etc Instrument with ILM profiles? Future standards?
New DevelopmentsBulk metadata retrieval
