ILM, Data Classification and Tiered Storage
The information lifecycle management (ILM) deployment process is usually described as having the following key steps
Classify or categorize data
Relate business rules to data classes
Determine service levels
Determine security levels
Establish tiered storage
Choose appropriate storage hardware
Choose appropriate storage software, including management tools and infrastructure
The first objective of the study is to determine to what extent the respondents consider having achieved each step, to find out their plans for evaluating new products, and to assess what their requirements are for additional functions and services
Survey Methodology
To qualify for the survey, the respondent had to be an IT administrator or manager with storage related responsibilities and one terabyte of total disk capacity most of which connected to open systems.
· We developed a questionnaire in collaboration with a number of industry executives · We tested the questionnaire in interviews with industry experts and storage vendors · We asked several thousands IT managers a limited set of questions to determine if they qualified for the survey. · We select about 200 of these screening survey respondents to complete the full survey. We targeted 70% of the population in the small and medium business category with the full survey respondents having mostly open systems and at least 2 SAN or NAS. · We send a detailed questionnaire of over 60 questions to the selected respondents · We target a minimum of 100 good responses. We compile and analyze the results, and compare with results obtained in our 2003, 2004 and 2005 surveys · We also include comments resulting from the many contacts we have throughout the year with IT managers.
