The economic crisis we didn’t predict The reality of living in a globally integrated world is upon us. • Frozen credit markets and limited access to capital. • Economic downturn and future uncertainty. • Energy shortfalls and erratic commodity prices. • Information explosion and risk/opportunity growth. • Slowing superpowers and emerging economies. • Increasingly complex supply chains and empowered consumers. The world is connected: economically, socially and technically.

Grappling with data growth in today’s economy Imperatives and Focus Areas for Storage Administrators Productivity • Be more Cost Effective • Be more Capital Efficient • Improve Service • Reduce Risks Power Utilization Scalability Availability Security Recovery Compliance
The Pressures on Storage Admins are Mounting • Data growth • It takes longer to back it up • Higher service level requirements • You can’t afford down time • You can’t afford to lose any data, anywhere • Longer retention periods for more data • Need more capacity; need to manage it • Mergers and acquisitions • Need to integrate systems, processes • Security requirements • Need to protect your customers’ data as well as your own • Remote/branch offices • Creating and storing more business-critical data
Critical Data may not be Well-Protected: Mid-Sized Companies / Branch Offices • Lack of IT resources and processes • Backups are performed by non-IT personnel that have other jobs • They often forget to run the backup, or they do it wrong • If it doesn’t get backed up, it can’t be restored • Tape-based systems have issues (in small offices): • Manual processes • Security risk: tapes get lost/stolen when moved/stored off-site • Recovering lost data from tape is a painful and often impossible task
IT Realities Today Smaller staffs Budget cuts (esp. CAPEX) Project postponement “You do things when opportunities come along.” - Warren Buffet
