In today’s challenging business environment,
IT is the lifeline of any business. On demand business rely
on IT systems for fast response with the flexibility to meet
customer requirements, market opportunities or threats. A
complete business continuity strategy must include high availability,
continuous operations and disaster recovery.
Infrastructure simplification is a way to
look at the entire IT operation and help eliminate the complexity
that can raise costs, reduce reliability and create dependencies
on specialized skills—factors making it harder to operate
as an on demand business. This includes consolidation, virtualization
and automated management.
Consolidation strategy can include reduction
in the number of data centers and sharing fewer large-capacity
storage systems amongst application servers. Storage virtualisation
involves a shift in thinking from physical to logical—treating
storage as a logical pool of resources, not individual devices.
Automation brings the benefits of lower support
costs and also reduction of errors, resulting in higher system
performance. Information lifecycle management’s (ILM),
on the other hand, is focused on optimising the storage and
management of information based on its value to your business.
The process can help your business maximize the value of information,
from the moment of its creation to the moment of its disposal.
To meet these challenges, IBM® has taken
a comprehensive approach to providing information on demand.
This goes beyond just storage products to help you share,
protect and manage your data. The IBM TotalStorage® Resiliency
Family includes a comprehensive set of products that are compatible
