There's no doubting that the current global economic turmoil is a great opportunity for UK businesses to innovate. For far too long now, many have been content to simply throw more disks at their storage problem; continued to invest in expensive solutions, with after-sales contracts to match, because 'they always have'; and employed muddled thinking when it comes to CAPEX- and OPEX-related decisions.
The result? A complex IT infrastructure that is increasingly expensive to run, and ever more difficult to manage. Radical times call for radical solutions. Radical, in the true sense - going back to basics. Happy to continue moving a few deckchairs while the Titanic heads for the iceberg? Then carry on buying more server and storage boxes and add some more networks, with plenty of bridges, hubs and routers - a vendor's dream customer!
Interested in massive savings - in IT investment costs, running costs, staffing costs? Time to understand some of the major technology changes that promise smarter, better value, greener open storage networking solutions.
