Architectures For Storage Consolidation

Overview Storage consolidation is not a one-time event, but a continuous journey, a journey that does not start, or end, at the same place for every organization. Stages of the journey can be undertaken as business requirements change over time. This paper maps out the consolidation journey, stage by stage. It explores the elements of an adaptive infrastructure, and it ties the business benefits that can be achieved by implementing each of the common storage architectures to real steps that any organization can take.
