Sluggish applications, disruptive downtime, and incompatible storage systems plague data centers around the globe. Often the root causes lie squarely in the storage infrastructure. Throwing more hardware at these problems does nothing to solve the deficiencies in the underlying storage architecture. The problems are exacerbated when IT operations branch out from primary data centers to remote sites, where budget and staffing constraints further limit options.
During this 45 minute webinar you will learn how Software-defined Storage addresses the root cause of these problems, and the lasting benefits companies have realized in a short time.
The 3 valuable lessons you’ll walk away with include:
- How SDS will quickly speed up applications. Line of business applications based on Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle DB, as well as Microsoft Exchange and VDI projects have seen up to 10x performance increase without adding more storage hardware.
- How SDS can make data continuously available for your critical applications, even when storage devices and sites go down. With SDS, storage downtime is eliminated.
- How SDS can pool different models and brands of storage. Much as you do with servers, SDS enables you to take full advantage of the combined capacity and capabilities in your storage infrastructure, increasing capacity utilization by up to 4x.
You'll also learn how SDS enables you to leverage new storage trends, such as cloud and flash storage, without disruption and do it cost–effectively, both at your primary data center and in your remote sites.
