"Bringing it All Together: United Server & Storage Management"
Presentation Description
Explosive storage, server & application growth, diverse equipment from different vendors, constant business pressure to adapt...no wonder managing today's IT infrastructure can feel like barely-controlled chaos. What if we could bridge the islands of server and storage management so common in data centers today? What if we could virtualize and automate server and storage management to drive collaboration without sacrificing control? What if we could synchronize our business and IT efforts to capitalize on change, rather than react to it? What if we could accomplish all this from one console, the proverbial "single pane of glass"? Join Chet Jacobs for a journey to the future of consolidated IT management. It's an exciting destination that's within reach today. Chet will present the future of IT management and show us that it's possible right now. Steve Duplessie, from Enterprise Strategy Group experienced this solution and said, "No one else is providing consolidated storage and server management that is this tightly integrated. This is a better way to manage infrastructure".
