An Introduction to Storage [In]Efficiency
At this point, the IT industry has been around for a long time. But it is still maturing and evolving in surprisingly rapid ways. Storage provides a case in point that these days, IT needs to manage storage differently. This storage management need arises because a “business transformation” is taking place across multiple dimensions, mostly pertaining to major changes in consumption models. IT organizations (and the organizations they support) need sufficient time to:
• Address accelerated time-to-market requirements.
• Provision applications.
• Deliver the next storage service.
• Gain insight from analytics.
• Reallocate resources.
If IT can’t establish best practices for fundamental operations such as storage efficiency, how are they going to address those changing business demands identified above?
