Storage management software is a hot bed of evolutionary activity. A
huge number of variables are in the mix, and new ones are popping
every day. At the same time, the environment is changing very quickly,
and the changing environment will have a lot to do with which vari-
ants emerge as successful species, and which disappear down evolu-
tionary dead ends.

Evolving Storage Needs
The list of forces driving the demand for storage management
solutions start with the growth of client/server computing.
“Client/server” often means heterogeneous environments, discon-
nected islands of technology, inconsistent backup practices, ad hoc
or non-existent storage management policies, and remote storage
resources that are essentially unmanaged.

Meanwhile, new mission critical applications have emerged and
must be up and running on a 7x24 basis. One category of new
applications has moved into every possible niche in the environ-
ment: Internet, Intranet, and World Wide Web applications. These
applications demand vast amounts of storage capacity and imme-
diate access to all the data.
