Enterprises have successfully controlled their IT budgets and server sprawl issues with the help of virtualization technologies, but what’s next? Increasingly, organizations are turning to storage consolidation for virtualized server environments in order to reduce data center costs and inefficiencies. 

Managing mobile costs is a challenge for all organisations, especially as responsibilities and budget authority may often sit in several places—IT, finance, personnel, managers and, of course, the employees themselves. 

While some larger organizations continue to manage internal data center, many business managers are able to increase service levels, cover more users, and lower response times by outsourcing their out-dated server farms to third-party data centers and cloud computing providers. This white paper will define data centers and explore cloud networking. 

All businesses have 3 non-negotiable requirements for backup & recovery: backup windows can't interrupt the ability to conduct business; when disaster strikes, recovery must be quick enough to ensure service continuity; its cost has to fit in budget. 

Against a backdrop of an increased use of software that is generally more sophisticated, flexible, scalable and easy to integrate than in times gone by, this research set out to explore the impact of having to maintain a plethora of different software solutions from different vendors in today’s cash-strapped corporate environment. 

As an IT manager you’ve always known the web is a dangerous place. But with infections growing and the demands on your time and budget rising, it’s time to revisit your strategy. This whitepaper discusses the major web threats and provides four rules to help you stay protected. When you follow them, these rules will also save you time and money. 

Exponential data growth is challenging today's IT managers to scale their storage capacity while delivering high performance and staying within tight budgets. This paper explains how Oracle can help by offering the first unified storage solution that optimizes performance with HSPs and delivers radical simplification of storage management. 

Data protection and disaster recovery solutions that were cutting edge a few years ago are not capable of keeping up with the explosion of data and the tightening of business service level requirements. IT managers need to find smarter approaches to protecting storage environment.  This session will attempt to address these challenges effectively. 

In this presentation transcript Greg Shulz, founder and senior analyst at StorageIO Group, discusses how storage managers can reduce their data footprint. 

The datacentre is increasingly the focus for the need to deliver greater value from IT at lower cost. The challenge for IT managers is to improve operational efficiency and deliver availability and scalability, but to do so with fewer resources.
