Large enterprise-class storage systems are designed for organizations that simply cannot afford any downtime or tolerate any data loss. Enterprise storage arrays mitigates the risk of business downtime by providing a bulletproof platform with complete hardware redundancies, hot-swappable components, and non-disruptive online upgrades. Data replication and tightly integrated clustering solutions, along with disaster recovery support, enable a multi-site disaster tolerant design to achieve complete business continuity. And with enhanced data protection and security features, you can decrease exposure to data loss.

Enterprise storage solutions decrease the costs and complexities of data management with a broad portfolio of software. Through thin provisioning, organizations can reduce power and cooling costs by supplying storage capacity to applications from a virtualized pool and reducing unused storage that consumes power, requires cooling, and takes up space. As a virtualization platform, these arrays enable important functions such as heterogeneous data migration, array repurposing, and storage tiers. Enterprise storage also eliminates contention for valuable storage resources through array partitioning.

Partitioning enhances the success of storage consolidation efforts by assigning array resources to certain applications and administrators. And by consolidating multiple hosts running diverse operating systems to an array, you can reduce the time it takes to manage diverse environments and simplify the implementation of backups and disaster recovery solutions.

Benefits of enterprise storage systems:

• Simplify operations with one set of tools for heterogeneous data management and replication
• Reduce TCO, simplify administration, eliminate application interruptions and reduce power and cooling requirements
• Protect your investment and extend the life of existing storage assets
• Move, copy and migrate data non-disruptively between heterogeneous tiered storage
• Avoid resource contention and ensure application quality of service with Virtual Storage Machines
• Meet governmental compliance regulations and legal requirements to protect your most critical data
