Welcome to the Storage Wiki. Estimates vary but it’s well documented that spending on storage hardware, software and services exceeds $50B worldwide each year. Storage has always been and continues to be a critical component of the information infrastructure as data and information are the lifeblood of organizations.  
+
-
 
+
-
The objective of this wiki is to provide information that fosters excellence in storage practices and leads various user communities to improve people’s lives, both in business and consumer settings. Ultimately, we hope to accelerate the adoption of and improve the application of storage technologies and services.  
+
-
 
+
-
To accomplish this goal we’re focusing on four disciplines:
+
-
 
+
-
# [[Storage strategy and planning]] to include the planning, justfication and roadmap for enterprise storage architecture
+
-
# Best practices for [[storage management]], an ongoing discipline of adhering to clearly defined processes and procedures
+
-
# The application of key [[storage technology]]
+
-
# Solid [[asset management]] programs that address pricing, negotiation, contract management, license management and terms and conditions across the supplier ecosystem
+
-
 
+
-
This wiki is designed to address these and other issues deemed relevant and noteworthy by this storage community. We encourage contributions that address:
+
-
 
+
-
# What is the problem faced by a manager or storage professional?
+
-
# What are the options available to solve that problem (technologies & practices)?
+
-
# What are the pros & cons of different solutions?  What other solutions may be available in the future?
+
-
# How should the best solution be selected and justified for a given scenario?
+
-
# How can the solution be implemented and managed?
+
-
# What are examples of best practice, and what resources were needed to achieve it?
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
Please feel free to add new articles or edit existing ones as you see fit. Try to help professionals get more business value out of storage products and services and help consumers enrich their lives through the better application of technology.
+
-

You can start by checking out the [[storage index]] page.

Unified Communications Market Research Analysis By Transparency Market Research

According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research, "Unified Communications Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," the unified communications market was valued at USD 22.8 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 61.9 billion in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 15.7% from 2012 to 2018.

Worldwide, companies are looking at ways to decrease costs, improve efficiency and increase productivity. With the integration of real time communication and business processes, companies can actually achieve these targets. Unified communications provides flexibility, supports mobility, increases productivity and improves employee response time as well. With the benefits associated with unified communications, the increasing mobile workforce and enterprise mobility will have a high impact on the growth of this market. Proliferation of mobile devices that are capable of video communication is an important factor driving the unified communications market.

This coupled with BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and enterprise mobility will drive corporate IT and operators to provide cost effective and flexible communication solutions to the owners of such devices. This factor is expected to have a high impact on the global unified communications market.

With the evolution of IP networks and the ever increasing sophistication of the networks, voice along with video and data traffic can all be handled simultaneously. However, along with such an evolution come several challenges as well. Being able to ensure quality of service while the network handles multiple services along with protection against malicious attacks can prove to be a daunting task for service providers and IT departments. Some of the factors restraining the growth of the unified communications market include lack of interoperability between multi-vendor platforms and high cost of initial investment.

There are two main types of unified communications systems namely, on premise unified communications and hosted or cloud based unified communications. The adoption and acceptance of cloud computing coupled with the proliferation of unified communications is resulting in the growth of the hosted or cloud-based unified communications market. The main end user segments employing unified communications include governments, healthcare, enterprises, education and others, with enterprises accounting for the largest share.

Featured How-To Note

Storage Virtualization Design and Deployment

A main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center. The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more of the largest storage pools within a data center.
