IDC believes that thin provisioning is a powerful enabling technology with significant benefits to offer storage administrators looking for higher levels of storage efficiency. 

This four-part webcast demonstrates the necessity for a proper storage management solution, such as Northern Storage Suite, in an organization's storage infrastructure. They'll review how NSS can reclaim wasted capacity, control user behavior, getting your end-users on-board with saving capacity and how to properly plan for future storage needs. 

Long term data center or network room capacity planning may seem impossible in the face of evolving IT technology and business requirements. This paper shows a simple and effective way to develop a capacity plan for a data center or network room. 

This Podcast highlights a solution that helps disregard wasteful data and creates a more efficient storage infrastructure by reclaiming crucial storage space.

Deduplication is an emerging technology that has the potential to help organizations improve enterprise storage and recovery performance. By completing the worksheet here, organizations can determine if they should immediately invest in deduplication. 

Data deduplication has quickly moved from a "nice-to-have" to a "must-have" technology for those organizations trying to keep pace with relentless data growth. Organizations surveyed by ESG are citing difficulty keeping up with storage capacity demands, while also reporting flat or decreasing IT budgets. 

In virtualized data centers, the fact that all applications and users can impact each other combined with a lack of resource monitoring can cause poor performance and even system downtime. This white paper provides a formula to avoid these problems.
