Tiered Storage Economics: Defining and Calculating the Economic Benefit of Tiered Storage Solutions

Overview As IT departments and storage planners continue to look at best practices and technologies to proactively reduce ownership costs, a tiered storage approach should be investigated and presented as a viable option for future storage strategies. While many IT planners assume that purchasing low-cost disk solutions will drive down the total cost of storage ownership, Hitachi Data Systems has observed that price alone does not equate to lowering operating expenses or reducing the total cost of disk ownership. Properly designing and implementing multitiered storage concepts can significantly and positively alter current and long-term costs.
