As the world becomes more interconnected, instrumented and intelligent—and creates more and more information—we have no choice but to stop perpetuating existing infrastructure inefficiencies, many of which are related to storage. Companies must start relying on smarter information storage systems that can handle all of this information and manage it intelligently. To address these inefficiencies, IBM has considerable resources developing storage efficiency solutions based on a set of essential technologies.
Logically aggregate disk storage so capacity can be efficiently allocated across applications and users.
- Increase utilisation of existing storage by up to 30%
- Move and manage data so hardware can be serviced—all without disrupting users.
