The increased use of technology in conducting mainstream business operations has made electronic information one of the most valuable assets of any organization. This shift in business paradigm has significantly evolved the role of IT within many organizations. IT is no longer a back-office support function. Rather, IT is at the center stage of business operations. This transformation in business practice has also presented IT organizations with the challenge of maintaining and consistently delivering high quality of IT services to consumers.
With this growth in demand and dependency on technology, where more and more services are being delivered electronically, the amount of business-critical information stored electronically continues to grow exponentially. While organizations are responding to this growth in electronic information with the adoption of new storage technologies, companies are being challenged to fully materialize their return on storage investment. Much of storage resources go untapped due to a lack of diligence in technology procurement, deployment, and operational phases. As a result there is an opportunity for companies to consolidate their storage operations in order to increase resource yield and lower the total cost of operations and ownership.
