Select and Implement the Right Storage Solution

Plan to make the most of the modern data storage technology revolution.

It is a time of crisis and opportunity for your storage modernization project. The network storage disk array has been a foundation of the converged and virtualized data center. Forces ranging from flash, to hyperconvergence, to software defined are disrupting the status quo.


Your Challenge

  • The big storage array is not dead, but its role is changing. Primary block storage is moving back to servers in the form of software-defined direct attached flash and disk. But large data stores may still require large disk arrays.
  • Start with data, not storage; answer what is being stored and why, before where and how. Don’t get lost in the increasing diversity of storage solutions. Identifying what is being stored, and for what purpose, will help you in choosing the right storage solution.
  • Make smart investments in right storage. Existing and emerging storage platforms and services will have different strengths for different tasks. Choose vendor solutions where the strongest features meet storage requirements at the best cost and are aligned with your overall technology roadmap.
