Microsoft Excel remains the most used tool for SRM, says George Crump. Excel is cheap, at least compared with other SRM tools, he says. Some of these tools cost more than the storage they’re managing, that’s a problem. The tool is independent of storage manufacturers and independent of them.

These tools can make life in the multivendor data center worth living.”]
