  • Cognitive Data Management
    The automation of data management is taking a cognitive turn. That is, vendors are beginning to harness machine learning and artificial intelligence to apply management policies to data more efficiently. Just in time, given the pace of data growth.
  • Global Namespace
    The global namespace provides a location for storing metadata about files and objects in the storage repository and for monitoring the status of data to determine when policies must be executed.
  • Storage Resource Management
    Storage Resource Management (SRM) creates an Internet of Things environment for collecting information about storage targets and links and pathways between data creation processes (usually servers and application workflows) and storage. Real-time status is required to establish the right target for data at any given time.
  • Storage Service Management
    Data requires different hosting, protection, preservation and privacy services over time. Service brokers must be monitored to ensure that they are not overwhelmed by workload. That's where Storage Service Management comes in...
  • Policy Framework
    To manage data effectively, we need policies that identify what must happen to data under what conditions. These are policies, which in a cognitive model, are the instructions for the cognitive computing engine.
  • Cognitive Engine
    Cognitive Data Management, as the name implies, leverages a "cognitive engine" to bring together status information on data, resources and services and to relate them to pre-defined policies for data management over time.
