Storage

The focus on Enterprise Storage should not be on managing disks but as a strategic plan on managing data and address the needs for;

Efficiency – to reduce the cost of ownership by purchasing and using significantly less storage, simplified management, optimal utilization of disk storage.
Agility – an agile hardware platform to redefine efficiency, productivity and protection in a truly scalable enterprise storage solution.
Resiliency – to deliver full system and data protection.

Storage consolidation presents one physical, centrally managed storage system as multiple logical storage systems to multiple servers. Storage consolidation offers these benefits:

Storage consolidation reduces administration costs through centralization of storage systems – system administrators will have fewer storage systems to manage and maintain
Another cost savings is that you need fewer “types” of components and potentially fewer drives are needed as a result of consolidation, lowering initial and/or incremental hardware costs.
Flexible storage allocation – the ability to dynamically distribute and re-distribute storage as needed (O/S independent).
More efficient use of storage – host storage can be allocated closer to required capacity and available storage is usable by any host (no wasted space).
Storage consolidation provides the opportunity to amortize the cost of highly available, high performance storage over multiple servers or clusters.
Storage systems and servers can be purchased independently of each other giving the end user the ability to choose the best system for any application.
Free up administrators time to focus on other needs of the enterprise.
