Storage Solution Requirements

The Jiro Initiative provides an enabling technology designed to facilitate the development of enterprise storage management solutions. This technology enables storage solutions having the following requirements:

• Simple Storage Management— The management of storage must be accomplished through a high level of abstraction.

• High Integrity Management— The integrity of the management operations must be assured.

• Simple Programming Model— The learning curve required for adoption must be minimized.

• Remote/Distributed Management— The solution must be accessible remotely without regard to distance and network topology.

• Centralized View of Management— The solution must be able to access a wide domain from a single location.

• Automated ...
