Today’s IT experts are being confronted with two issues – an increase in data volumes and variety.
Whilst data can open the door to a multitude of possibilities for your business, the complexity can be a huge challenge.
The growth in the number of data formats and locations being used (edge-to-cloud) is becoming too much to be managed properly with existing on-site infrastructures with the result being a mish-mash of architectures that lead to discrete and detached environments that are used and managed independently.
Heterogeneous IT environments. There are often several manufacturers of servers, operating systems, storage, virtualisation and network components.
Growing demands on your IT. The acceptance and proliferation of new technologies such as cloud, mobility, virtualisation and Big Data is growing. This is forcing enterprise IT to provision services much more quickly and flexibly, which is either impossible or involves a great deal of work when using traditional, heterogeneous environments.
If the IT department is unable to meet the core demands of the business, this can lead to even greater problems. These days, in-house IT is increasingly seen as a service provider, but the services have to be affordable, flexible and quick to deploy.
Demands on IT are constantly changing and that includes the management of storage systems.
Data volumes are continuing to grow at a rate of knots, but IT budgets aren’t being increased to match.
In everyday business, there are plenty of topics ranging from servers, networks and mobile devices to desktops, virtualisation and storage vying for attention.
Opportunities to simplify and automate storage management with simple, modern, cost-effective and flexible storage technologies.
To simplify storage environments, you need an easy to deploy and use storage array that can be directly connected to a server or flexibly provisioned as SAN as required.
You also need to be able to configure storage either as an all-Flash array for very high performance requirements or as a hybrid array with Flash performance at a great price.
Looking for an affordable storage solution with flexible deployment options for smaller applications/databases, Exchange and virtual server provisioning?
