Storage Consolidation: Tapping The Power Of Networks
Download the complete white paper now.
Many enterprises are looking to consolidate their storage to:
- Better handle the growth in the amount, diversity, and complexity of data
- Control costs, including those associated with IT staffing
- Improve storage utilization by leveraging networks to manage, distribute, and share information
- Address needs for security and business continuity
But consolidation means far more than just putting all of your information in a box somewhere and forgetting about it. Most enterprises find themselves needing to provide information to employees in many locations, including branch offices, on the road, at home, or across large corporate campuses. Companies also face new demands for 24 x 7 data availability as they serve new groups of users, including outsiders such as partners and customers.
To meet these conflicting demands, many enterprises are using networked storage to deal with storage consolidation. Networked storage allows companies to tap the power of networks to provide fast, reliable, and cost-effective access to consolidated storage resources.
