Are you still running your
business-critical applications on server-internal or direct attached
storage? Are some of your storage systems maxed out while others are
barely used? Are your storage management costs growing faster than your
budget? How about your environmental costs—electricity, cooling, even
floor space? Are your backup windows exceeding the time allotted? Are

your users and applications? The formation of centralized storage pools
that can be managed as a whole and shared across applications and
servers improves storage utilization and efficiency. You can help your
business reach new levels of productivity and performance by
consolidating your storage – it reduces your number of footprints,
helps reduce operating expenses, and increases your overall
flexibility.
