Applications and data requirements for enterprise storage continue to expand. Flat IT operational budgets force datacenters to continuously search for and deploy new storage infrastructure which lets fewer employees manage more storage capacity. The static SAN is increasingly a pain point as installations proliferate to support new applications and the SAN islands become as much a problem as a solution. IDC believes SANs are in the early days of a process of giving way to a virtualized single storage pool based on grid-technology.
Attend this webinar with Robert Gray, Vice President and Sr. Analyst of IDC, and Karen Dutch, General Manager, Advanced Storage Products Group of NEC Corporation of America, to learn about virtualized grid storage attributes and how grid storage addresses the challenges with today's storage architectures in meeting current and future requirements. By deploying a strategic grid storage architecture, IT can refocus its resources to managing information, not just infrastructure, to meet increasingly strict business policies and SLAs on information control, protection, storage and retrieval.
