Scalar Decisions and Hitachi Data Systems invite you to join an exclusive community of IT professionals as we roll-up our sleeves to discuss real-world OPEX and CAPEX considerations when evaluating and deploying storage across your enterprise.
By attending this event, you will learn about the IT economics of storage:
- how storage virtualization will enable you to adapt to growth, acquisitions and changing business structures
- gain control of existing storage assets and standardize on a common set of storage management tools
- how tiered storage optimizes performance and reduces infrastructure costs
- when to use thin provisioning and how it can benefit your current storage environment
As a storage or IT professional, you face mounting strategic and economic challenges. You are obligated to meet rapidly increasing capacity, complexity, management, and reliability requirements. And you must do so in a business environment where shrinking IT budgets mandate exhaustive economic justification for new initiative funding.
Attend this event and you will walk away with knowledge on how to quantify and justify investment in your storage infrastructure, reduce both capital and operating expense and deliver the levels of service necessary in today's complex and evolving storage environments.
