This white paper is for information technology (IT) administrators and executives in small-to-medium sized enterprises (SMEs). It discusses ways to maximize the value they deliver for their IT dollar. It also looks at ways to more effectively manage mushrooming data and satisfy expanding data availability requirements.
For those currently using direct attached storage (DAS) as an approach to storing data, or those looking to build out their company or departmental storage area network (SAN), this paper attempts to answer “why should I do this?” IT professionals should also gain a clearer understanding of the business, financial and technical cases for migrating to, or expanding a SAN.
