The Real Question
Are you spending too much money and time managing where your data is stored?
•Clients purchase 24% more storage every
year1
, but …
•Use less than 50% of the capacity they
already have2
•They spend 70% of IT budgets on operations
and maintenance instead of innovation and
insights

Smarter Storage, Client focus on ….
Data Economics
Business Critical…
“Keep me running!
Secure my data.”
Economics =
Business Impact
Start Quickly…
Add Value…
“Can you get me up and running fast?”
“Can I add functions and scale?”
Economics =
Speed, Flexibility
& Labor Costs
Data Intensive
Business Solutions
“How can I leverage all this data for my
business and keep what I truly need?”
Economics =
LOB specific
(Risk, Expertise, etc.)

IBM Storwize Family delivers ….
Three Core Principles for Infrastructure That Matters
• Set it and Forget it….
• Award Winning Simplicity
• Start Small & Grow Big
• Store Less Data
• Improve What You Have
• Flash Optimized
• Embedded Analytics
• Proven Reliability
• Enterprise Capability
