Download des SNIA ILM Maturity Modells (US) 25. Febr. 2010 – Die SNIA hat ihr Information Lifecycle Management Maturity Model im Sept. 2009 in überarbeiteter Form vorgestellt. Wichtig ist der Aspekt der Mitarbeit des SNIA Anwendercouncils (EUC), der den praktischen Teil dieses “Framworks” repräsentiert. Hier die Executive Summary (Auszug) zu den wesentlichen Details des Papiers. Das vollständige Dokument (engl.) finden Sie am Ende dieses Textes als Download.
Auszug - Executive Summary - SNIA ILM Maturity Model: “The Data Management Forum’s Information Lifecycle Management Initiative (ILMI) and the SNIA End User Council (EUC) began a joint effort in early 2008 to develop an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) Maturity Model. The work was patterned after the Capability Maturity Model Integration (1) (CMMI) from the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. The ILM Maturity Model provides a standardized tool for consistent point-in-time assessment of the maturity of ILM capabilities within an organization.
There were three objectives for this work effort:
- Provide a standardized tool that would assist organizations determine where they stand relative
to best practices in managing their information. - Help organizations improve their ILM practices to balance their information technology service
levels and therefore lower costs. - Help organizations to set priorities on IT investments, by aligning their costs with the changing
value of their information over time.
The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) defines ILM as: “The policies, processes, practices, services and tools used to align the business value of information with the most appropriate and cost-effective infrastructure from the time information is created through its final disposition. Information is aligned with business requirements through management policies and service levels associated with applications, metadata and data.”
Notice that the SNIA definition of ILM does not mention the word “storage”. Information is the asset to be conserved and protected; storage represents one of the resources that enables ILM, but it is by no means the only resource that is important to the efficient management of information over time...
