Controlling the Cost of Data Growth
Over the next decade…
– Data managed by enterprise datacenters will grow 50x
– Number of files will grow by 75x
– Number of IT professionals will grow < 1.5x
Optimizing storage resources is essential to controlling IT costs
Investments in Storage Resource Management help reduce these costs
Rapid data growth leads to rising storage costs while $/GB declines

2x-3x Performance Boost Over Native Multipathing
These tests were designed to simulate the real-world SAN conditions that organizations encounter every day, and were conducted using common tools to highlight the potential impact on application, SAN, and storage performance. While these test results represent what a user might experience, actual results will vary depending on the data center configuration.
