Even through challenging economic times, the need for physical data center capacity continues to grow. For some businesses, the driver is expansion into new markets or geographies. For others, it's the need to deal with growing amounts of data generated by applications with high-capacity demands, evolving end-user abilities, or regulatory bodies that demand ever-increasing quantities of meticulous documentation. The "build-or-buy" decision between construction and colocation should be weighed carefully, as the choice will affect your company and your bottom line quite literally for decades. This executive report will review six key factors that affect that choice, some of which extend beyond a basic TCO analysis.

The client, under a managed services contract for infrastructure services, was dissatisfied with the existing service provider due to stagnant quality of support, lack of innovation and inferior/ deteriorating end user. They wanted reduced downtime and optimal operational metric, and enhanced end-user experience. LTI helped in executing a series of interventions as part of the “Amplified Outcomes” support model. Business benefits a. 30% reduction in TCO b. 65% reduction in alerts c. 70% reduction in P1 tickets

This eGuide examines how digital technology is integrating real-time monitoring of pump energy usage, maintenance, and operations for maximum payback.

With the introduction of enterprise-grade all-flash arrays, conventional thinking about storage has been turned on its head. For example, a recent Gartner study found that all-flash storage pays for itself in just five to six months on average, the result of dramatic improvements in total cost of ownership (TCO).

In Economics 101, students learn about the concept of a ‘perfectly competitive market’. This is a marketplace with many buyers, multiple sellers, undifferentiated products, and easily accessible information about prices. While this model is supposed to produce optimal outcomes for consumers and society as a whole, the theory dictates that hyper-competition will push sellers’ margins closer and closer to zero.

Infinidat provides the difference you seek in a data storage solution for media and entertainment organizations. New demands have everyone in the industry feeling the impact of high latency storage and its impact on efficiently delivering speed to market on new and dense workload management. The Infinidat unified storage architecture enables the scale, performance and best overall TCO required to deliver an extreme competitive advantage to media and entertainment companies.

Infinidat® enterprise storage solutions are based upon the unique and patented Infinidat storage architecture—A fully abstracted set of Software-Defined Storage (SDS) functions integrated with the best-of-breed off-the-shelf commodity hardware. Infinidat’s software-focused architecture, an evolution and revolution in data management design over 30 years in the making, solves the conflicting requirements of bigger, faster, and less expensive. This paper discusses the technology that enables Infinidat to be the only enterprise storage provider that achieves multi-petabyte capacity with faster than all-flash performance (over 1.3M IOPS at microsecond latency) and an unprecedented seven-nines availability, all at the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Virtualization is the standard in enterprise IT environments for consolidating servers, enhancing businstrators that reduces their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and helps speed the application development process. However, as improvements have been made with server technology, storage technoless continuity, and improving business agility. VMware provides an architecture for server adminiogy has become the bottleneck. Legacy storage solutions can’t keep pace with thousands of virtual machines demanding maximum IOPS along with high bandwidth at the lowest latency. Infinidat’s InfiniBox removes the storage bottleneck for VMware environments. The InfiniBox enterprise storage array delivers faster-than-all-flash performance, high availability, and capacity density at petabyte scale. This Infinidat white paper is written for VMware and storage administrators to introduce them to the integration capabilities of the InfiniBox for VMware.

Software might run the world, but software still runs on hardware. It’s a misperception that hardware has little value anymore. Every application, every workload, every data set runs on physical servers. Read “Hardware Does Matter: Global Server Brands are Perceived as Superior for Driving Digital Business,” a Frost & Sullivan report of 500 IT decision makers, on the value of global server brands vs. commodity servers. Look beyond commodity status to discover: • Key server purchase criteria • How top brands directly compare • How to choose based on workload Server brands very significantly, and a commodity brand may not provide the outcomes you need, especially for new and next-generation applications.

If we could predict the future, there would be no Vegas, or at minimum a much poorer version. Weather would cause fewer surprises and the World Series, the Davis Cup, the Stanley Cup, the World Cup, the Daytona 500 and the Super Bowl --despite the not so predictable commercials-- would not be nearly as interesting to watch. In today’s world, there are so many variables, nuisances and unknowns, it is impossible to see into the future and accurately predict a future outcome. If humans could accurately and reliably predict the future, it would be like gaining advanced access to tomorrow’s stock prices. Those with access would retire rich the day after tomorrow.
