Its definitely a buzzing sector, but how much of this business Arkivio can tap remains to be seen.
In general, Silver believes automated provisioning -- rather than automated policy management -- holds more allure for storage administrators today. Automated provisioning handles the time-consuming task of creating connections between switches and logical unit numbers (LUNs) on storage devices to ease the process of provisioning capacity. Its an area Gartner Inc. has singled out for major growth over the next three to five years.
Policy-based automation, on the other hand, sits a layer above this and concentrates on the type of data to be moved and where it should reside. "It misses a compelling pain point," says Silver. Paliska says Arkivio will eventually move to provisioning block-level storage but not until early 2004.
