Data Center Storage

Digital storage is in the midst of "the perfect storm": explosive growth, recent regulatory retention requirements, and the need for increased availability and protection across all data types in the enterprise. This, coupled with the need to support virtual machine infrastructures and the new class of tiered SOA applications, has created the need for IT organizations to architect and build storage infrastructures and storage management systems that can stand the test of time. Burton group’s coverage of storage technologies and trends in the areas of SANs, NAS, iSCSI, archiving, disk-to-disk backup, data deduplication, snapshots, replication, and other emerging storage technologies helps organizations architect storage infrastructure systems and policies to meet demands into the future.
