Improving Storage Utilization With a Storage Service Management Approach

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview As data volumes continue to increase, keeping pace with expanding business requirements, point tools fail to solve the critical requirements for an IT organization to effectively manage the storage infrastructure. The first step to solve this problem is to understand the current state of the environment, from application to spindle. Next, an IT organization can begin to increase storage utilization rates from the typical 40% to 70-80%, resulting in lower storage costs. This webcast explains how Veritas CommandCentral Storage will help to reduce the storage costs by understanding the current state of the storage infrastructure; improve storage utilization rates by 30% or more; and enable tiered storage and leverage the existing storage assets within the environment.
