Storage and data management are constantly changing from a technology perspective. Unconstrained growth of corporate information, a myriad of compliance, disaster recovery and other data protection influences and rapidly converging technologies in the storage layer all are creating a “perfect storm” of challenges for IT strategists and tacticians alike.
Companies that pick the lowest-cost or most specialized point solution for each IT project often find themselves with a very complex and costly management challenge. The operational costs extend beyond the technology into human skill sets, IT processes such as configuration and change management, and even includes unnecessary complexity in the support contract space. These operational complexities begin to weigh down companies abilities to remain agile, and cost-competitive.
