Abstract
A storage management system for managing storage resources of a plurality of computer devices in a computer network includes a plurality of management agents, each of which is installed in a corresponding one of the plurality of computer devices, and each of which is configured to compile storage information of storage resources accessible by the corresponding computer device to create a first set of compiled storage information, and a storage manager installed in the server. The storage manager is configured to collect the first set of compiled storage information from each of the management agents and to further compile the first sets of storage information received to create a second set of compiled storage information. The storage management system further includes a user interface operatively coupled to the server manager to allow a user to access the second set of compiled storage information.
