HOW WILL DELL HELP CONTROL STORAGE EXPENSES?
Aggregate Unify Automate
GROWTH: –Data continues to grow – complicated by
customers keeping hardware longer
RESOURCES: –Acquisition costs are becoming inconsequential,
but management is not
PROTECTION: –Remote sites aren’t staffed to manage tape
back-ups–Customers want automated, reliable data
protection
STORAGE PAIN POINTS
•Nearly half of all customer data files were 90 days or older
•These occupy over 35% of storage capacity.
•One fifth of file data is duplicated
Typical issues we
find
•Dramatically increased storage management costs
•Non standard operational policies and practices
Which results in
•Tiered storage – moving data from Tier 1 to Tier 3 storage may result in saving ~50
•De-duplication – Reduce back-up data by up to 20:1 on average
