Application of Inventory Management Principles for Efficient Data Placement in Storage Networks

TL;DR

This paper explores how traditional inventory management principles can be adapted for efficient data placement in storage networks, highlighting key parameters for data inventory models.

Contribution

It introduces a framework for applying material inventory principles to data management, bridging concepts between physical and digital storage.

Findings

Identification of key parameters affecting data inventory models

Proposed analogy between material and data inventory management

Guidelines for developing data inventory strategies

Abstract

The principles and strategies found in material management are comparable and analogue with the data management. This paper concentrates on the conversion of product inventory management principles into data inventory management principles. Efforts were made to enumerate various impacting parameters that would be appropriate to consider if any data inventory model could be plotted.
