Data Storage Management
This process aims to assure optimal use of storage resources and reduce long-term storage-unit cost by improving performance through policies for availability, location, and versioning; keeping enough (but not too much) storage available on the floor and providing backup/recovery operations for critical data; and by data-set placement and compaction.
