Storage Shortfalls in the Data Center. Economical Solutions.
With the ever-increasing magnitude of monolithic volumes of data, storage space demands continue to outpace most IT budgets. What to do?
Online, August 10, 2010 (Newswire.com) - IT managers and CIOs continually seek ways to economize while facing unprecedented storage requirements in the data center. Where once an e-mail or exchange server used a few hundred megabytes of disk space, they now reside in the realm of terabytes and petabytes.
Even though practices such as data deduplication and compression provide significant space conservation, average file sizes are larger than ever. Images generated for archiving purposes, and graphical images for medical, research and exploration applications are enormous.
Mass storage equipment and interfaces can represent a large portion of the IT budget. There are however, ways to increase data storage assets for significantly fewer dollars per gigabyte than retail cost.
Look for discounted, current model, new storage systems in your storage and performance ranges. Consider purchasing preowned and refurbished current model systems such as tape libraries, RAID components, hard disk drives, magnetic tape drives, optical disc drives or magneto-optical disc drives. Some are in 'like new' condition, but are marked down to pennies on the dollar. This also holds true for connectivity options including fiber, SCSI, iSCSI, SAS, and NAS and SAN.
