| Today's IT storage costs, as a percentage of IT capital expenditures, have grown to the point that storage now represents the largest portion of capital spending. Complex storage environments make it difficult for administrators to effectively manage storage resources with the challenge of rising management costs. The goal for IT managers concerned with this trend toward higher capital and management expenditures in their storage environments is to find ways to reduce the complexity that administrators must deal with and to reduce overall storage costs. This paper focuses on IBM storage solutions and a selected list of their integrated capabilities for reducing growing IT cost and complexity. |
