Mastering Storage Complexity

Overview

Data center complexity in today's enterprise continues to grow at a dizzying rate. Data volumes are doubling every two years, while storage utilization rates hover at 33%. And data is needlessly duplicated - CMP Media Research estimates by as much as 50 to 500 times. Consequently, space, power, and cooling issues are growing in severity. That's the bad news. The good news is that new technologies are available to help IT gain control of complex storage environments. A new generation of backup, recovery, and storage management solutions allow organizations to unlock the potential of disk-based data protection, get full visibility of what's in their diverse storage environment, optimize their storage utilization, and get on the path to running storage as a service.
