 As your company’s data volumes continue to grow, increased resources are needed to manage your expanding storage assets. At the same time, your traditional method of housing storage within servers has its limitations. As capacity is reached, application performance—and user productivity—can decrease. Adding additional storage requires servers to be taken offline, slowing down user productivity that much more.
Here’s a simpler and more effective approach: Use network storage consolidation to increase storage utilization, break down islands of storage and present a single pool of storage. You’ll further enhance application availability, leveraging economies of scale to easily increase or decrease storage capacity.
When your storage is decoupled from the server and data is housed in a common pool of shared storage you can boost productivity and rapidly adapt to changing business needs. In this way, online and SAN consolidation can bring multiple benefits to your business as you:
- Reduce complexity and cost
- Simplify storage management, allowing your administrators to increase the amount of storage they can manage
- Deliver to service level agreements
- Increase your ability to react quickly to change
