Beyond Performance: Storage Strategies that Drive Business Value

Join this webcast to learn from leading storage analyst Henry Baltazar, as he explores trends and best practices in selecting a data storage vendor to better manage your evolving data centers.

The webinar will cover a number of key topics including:
•Performance efficiency: How caching and tiering technologies will help customers get the most out of expensive NAND flash.
•Storage capacity efficiency: Store more with less using deduplication and compression.
•Management/Operational efficiency: The road to self-service storage provisioning.
•Power efficiency: MAID, spindown, and the fate of tape

Looking for flexible solutions that can be easily adapted to offer a balanced and affordable portfolio of performance and capacity storage as needed and when needed? In this session, you’ll learn about how the convergence toward x86 storage servers brings new efficiencies that will benefit both enterprise data centers as well as cloud-based solutions.
