The SNIA Storage Management Initiative (SMI) was created by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) to develop and standardize interoperable storage management technologies and aggressively promote them to the storage, networking and end user communities
The SMI provides storage vendors with the ability to target development efforts on a single standard interface. This results in improved time-to-market, delivery of product, and increased quality of solutions by dramatically reducing the need to develop and/or integrate disparate and proprietary interfaces.
End users implementing products that conform to the SMI Specification (SMI-S) will see benefits that include: increased reliability, security, and manageability that will result in lowering the total cost ownership. Efficiently managing multi-vendor storage networks and tis resources is a key concern for both end users and integrators. The central value proposition for networked storage is its ability to integrate multi-vendor, enterprise resources that can be shared and more efficiently utilized.
