Storage has evolved from devices the size of kitchen appliances that held less than 4MB to solid state drives smaller than a wallet. But, along with it, the decisions and potential consequences of those decisions have evolved as well. There’s really no bad decision to be made in the terms of storage – well, other than not buying enough – but there are decisions that can drain your budget while offering little or no ROI.
Traditional, hybrid, and all flash. That’s what it all seems to boil down to. And capacity is an easy thing to figure out. But what about everything else? There’s a lot to take into consideration. And terms like NAND, RAISE, and SMART are just scratching the surface. But there is an easier way.
Storage for an organization of any size can be complex and something only touched upon once in a blue moon. They might put a SAN in place and then five years later do it again. But, after five years, their needs have changed – and along with it the technology they used. Proper research takes time and not every business has that time to spare. But that’s where Connection comes in.
