Manage rapid NAS data growth while reducing storage footprint and costs

By IBM | Sep 15, 2011

Enterprise data storage continues to grow—with roughly a quarter of network-attached storage (NAS) and storage attached network (SAN) users reporting annual growth rates at more than 40 percent.* Controlling storage costs from original data cre-ation until data disposition is a growing challenge for IT organizations. Over the past few years, a number of new technologies have been helping IT managers get a handle on “doing more with less.” Technologies such as server virtualization are helping IT organizations to maximize their processing capabilities with fewer physical servers. Data deduplication is being used for backup and helps to reduce the amount of disk, tape and net-work resources required for data protection. Now that IT has gotten a handle on server sprawl and the challenges that come with data protection, it is time to deal with primary storage growth that is increasing at a rate faster than IT can manage.
