Instrumenting your storage infrastructure
You might think you have good insight into your infrastructure, but for next-generation data centers, it probably isn’t good enough. If you’re responsible for business-wide IT infrastructure strategy, you’re facing a unique array of innovative, appealing and business-changing technology choices. I can’t recall ever having witnessed a similar number of big picture choices to rival the selection we’re currently seeing from virtualization, automation, the cloud and more.
