Project to reorganize storage management = management struggling with where mainframe storage fits in. Have included a survey we wrote that is going through some other organizations we're affiliated with, but I'd very much appreciate any input you all have on the subject.
Probably most appropriate if survey responses are offline to [EMAIL PROTECTED], unless, of course, you've a generic comment to share with the group. I'd be sure to share the results with this group (minus any names, of course). THANKS. 1) Does your company have a dedicated team supporting distributed (non-mainframe) storage? (SAN/NAS) 2) Does your company have a dedicated team supporting servers? 3) Does your company have a dedicated team supporting desktops? 4) How many associates support your distributed storage environment? At what percentage of their job? 5) Where does storage report in your company? (Data Center Support, Data Management, Network Engineering, Network Infrastructure, Operations, Systems Engineering, other) 6) If you know, about how big is you SAN/NAS environment? ( < 10 TB, 10-50 TB, 50-500 TB, >500 TB) 7) Are backup/recovery functions and online storage administered by the same team? 8) Are distributed and mainframe storage administered by the same team? 9) Do you have consistent policies and procedures across both your distributed and mainframe storage platforms?
