Abstract:
In today's e-business economy, data has become the new currency and storage technology is the bank where these valuable assets are protected and managed. Commercial and government institutions around the world are grappling with the rampant inflation of this new currency -- the explosion of electronic data generated by the Internet and other collaborative digital communications.
What are the most innovative approaches for meeting the storage challenge? How are astute technology managers investing to meet their organizations' growing storage requirements and realize greater value from their storage assets? What technical advances must the storage industry bring to market to deliver on the promise of universal access to data?
