Information-Centric Solutions
• It is not enough to think about how much storage the customer needs
• Information-centric solutions are not just about storing data—they are about moving information
Because storage is the foundation of the customer’s information infrastructure, storage network solutions must address more than the traditional “how much and how fast” requirement: Applications and data sharing Distributed access to resources Legacy and multivendor environments Planning for future growth
In an information-centric environment, data storage must be dealt with as a ‘single entity’ instead of a series of isolated islands of information.
