WikitipNote to storage vendors: Aggressively change the business modelEstablished storage industry participants and upstarts in the ecosystem must not sit back and wait. Rather, they must respond to increasing pressure to adopt consumerized IT models. This means packaging offerings that support a storage services vision and include SaaS, channel partnerships with service providers, metering and monitoring software, more competitive pricing and attempts to leverage existing storage assets as applied to storage services. |
Featured Case Study
Financial giant goes greenThe corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems. |

Featured How-To Note |
Planning a Green Storage InitiativeFluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012. | |||
