 With
the exponential growth of data and the associated
storage costs, many organizations are beginning
or extending initiatives to charge for storage
usage. Tivoli Storage Resource Manager for
Chargeback allows administrators to provide
usage information on a departmental, group
or user level, making the data owners aware
of and accountable for their data usage.
This information can be used to redirect
storage costs to the departments or business
units generating the data. By integrating
the capabilities of SRM and chargeback software,
IBM Tivoli delivers the ability to appropriately
distribute storage costs across an organization.
