Storage Virtualization: An Insider's Guide Part 5 - The Full Business Value of Storage Assets


Storage technology is quickly becoming the largest component of business IT hardware budgets – accounting for between 33 and 70 percent of every dollar spent on infrastructure annually. Annual operating expenses related to storage infrastructure – administering capacity, backing up data, performing maintenance, supplying gear with utility power, etc. – are a significant cost multiplier.

Increasingly, IT management is being challenged to demonstrate the business value of storage investments. They need to find ways to demonstrate that they are containing the costs of storage, while at the same time minimizing risk and improving productivity.

The good news is that storage virtualization can help achieve these goals.
