Simplify Storage TCO Management

Managing growing stores of data, controlling costs and complying with regulations are the greatest challenges facing business and IT executives today. With estimates of data growth between 50-75 percent a year, cutting through the confusion to a set of solutions that controls costs and automates data management at each stage of a company’s growth is imperative.

Storage is a significant, and increasing, cost item in data centers and throughout enterprises. Data is growing exponentially in many organizations, creating a bloated storage environment that consumes resources an ever-larger proportion of the IT budget. The problem shows no sign of abating.

Most organizations are dealing with storage TCO in a reactive mode — if they run out of disk space, they go out and buy more. In that kind of situation, it’s impossible to keep track of where the money is going. It is no longer less expensive to add storage instead of managing it, and an understanding of the TCO for storage is imperative for the enterprises. IMT Partners has found that more than 60% of the TCO can be contributed to operational expenditures (OPEX). Capital expenditures (CAPEX) contribute the rest of the allocated budget.

According to industry surveys, companies added an average of 37 TBs of new capacity in 2006, taking 22 percent bite out of the total budget.
