Maximizing Your Return—Wherever You Are on Your Modernization Journey

Traditional storage architectures are not agile. They hinder an organization's ability to upgrade and scale to meet the growing demands of enterprise workloads by requiring prohibitive upfront outlays, forklift upgrades, and downtime that siphon IT resources and budget from higher-value strategic initiatives. That’s why businesses that desire more cloud-like agility, for their on-premises and hybrid cloud environments, are investing in:

• As-a-service consumption models for on-premises infrastructure—especially storage, since it plays a key role in successful data management
• Upgradeable storage architectures that can be easily upgraded while data and services stay online to expedite users’ access to modern functionality.

ESG highlights what IT decision makers should consider to evolve their storage infrastructure to make it less reactive, more proactive, and better built to support a digital business. This is about operational efficiency, cost savings, and reduction of impacts on personnel time.
