ADVANCED DATA STORAGE MANAGEMENT
It's relatively easy to add more disks or arrays to meet storage growth. Disks are also getting cheaper, so today's storage is often more cost effective than years past. But storage itself isn't the problem -- the challenge lies in managing storage volumes that escalate at annual rates frequently exceeding 60%. While there's no universal management "solution" today, the products are evolving and practices are constantly improving.
