Common use of Online Storage Management Clause in Contracts

Online Storage Management. (a) Implementing and maintaining the storage infrastructure solution in compliance with Gap technology architecture requirements and in accordance with Gap’s corporate standards. (b) Allocating storage and assigning and initializing online storage volumes as response to demand and usage and as otherwise required by Gap. (c) Configuring volumes on host systems as required by Gap. (d) Adding or deleting storage volumes based on demand/usage, including returning freed resources back to the free resource pool. (e) Conducting pro-active monitoring of storage for availability and optimal usage and performance (some monitoring and reporting is in support of other functions such as SRM, etc.). (f) Performing capacity planning to insure adequate storage is available when needed, including providing trending data and analysis to Gap for review. (g) Identifying and recommending additional capacity or improvements to the storage infrastructure to Gap. (h) Utilizing the Software tools as mutually agreed upon by Gap and Supplier, conducting pro-active monitoring to measure the efficiency of online storage access and taking corrective action as needed (including performance adjustments to Equipment and Software, or dataset placement as required to maximize performance). (i) Monitoring and tuning performance of all components of storage Equipment and hosts as long as the modifications do not invalidate the design and configuration as specified by Gap. Exhibit A.6.1 Gap/IBM Confidential and Proprietary Information Second Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement (j) Configuring the cache for optimal performance across all environments. (k) Using appropriate RAID levels as required by Gap and in accordance with Gap’s engineering guidelines to provide optimal performance and storage optimization. (l) Reporting raw metrics to Gap via native tools for storage environment. (m) Managing firmware, Software and patches to current levels for storage and host components.
