ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a system and method for integrated, optimized data storage infrastructure performance in a distributed computing environment using a storage resource management application. The invention may include a storage resource management application that receives and stores data regarding one or more infrastructure components of a distributed computing environment. A request related to performance of a data storage infrastructure of the distributed computing environment, may then be received. A request type may then be identified from one or more predefined request types. Examples of request types may include new asset addition requests, data storage provisioning requests, performance review requests, reporting requests, backup/recovery requests, and/or other requests. One or more infrastructure components, management agents, and/or service level agreements are then identified and associated with the request.
