Today’s SAN Optimization Challenges

Over the past decade, CIO’s have had to face a myriad of daunting and ever-evolving challenges: IT costs have skyrocketed, while supporting budgets have not kept apace. Due to ever-increasing storage growth and consolidation, data center footprints – and subsequent power demands - have doubled. The challenge facing optimal SAN management lies in the rudimentary function of collecting the right data, correlating it, and making it actionable. But due to the complexities of internal dependencies, SAN infrastructures, and the accelerated rate of required configuration change, it is extremely difficult to target, organize, and act upon data in an efficient manner. Successful optimization initiatives require the ability to collect and analyze massive amounts of raw data, all while understanding the complex and ever-changing network of relationships that exist between the business and the SAN infrastructure.

Simply relying upon manual collection of data is inefficient as the information is outdated by the time proper analyses and documentation is underway. Without an automated solution, companies are forced to let “spreadsheets manage people”, and must rely upon manually derived “data snapshots” as their only strategy. But analysts agree - there is a smarter way.

With SANlogics all applications can remain online and available during the migration, ensuring that even the most aggressive SLAs are satisfied, and downtime is reduced to only the time required for final server reconfiguration and reboot. SANlogics also drastically reduces the need for dedicated customer IT resources.

SANpulse Technologies’ product and service offerings mitigate the risk exposure, cost outlays, and time requirements involved with storage consolidations and migrations. And these savings are experienced long after the consolidation and migration is complete, via perpetually realized reductions in support costs, data center power and space requirements, and optimized business continuity.
