Storage Management for Strategic Business Advantages |
|
From time to time, IDC organizes high-impact events to address burning IT issues and provide meaningful insights and actionable advice. After all today, in a hyper-competitive, technology-driven business environment, achieving organizational objectives within cost-constraints is a norm than an exception; one can well imagine the challenges for CTOs/CIOs. Therefore, making fully-informed IT investment-decisions is a necessity and not an option.
Enterprise Storage, a critical repository of data, and a key building block of an organization's IT infrastructure, has, despite the recent industry recession, undergone exponential advancement in scale and complexity. This has necessitated new investments and practices in storage systems. The challenge today is to transform investments into productive, revenue-spinning, resources.
While rapidly evolving technology brings with it choices, confusion unfortunately, piggy backs on it. Therefore, with a view to highlight the business drivers for an appropriate enterprise-wide storage strategy, advise CTO/CIOs on how to evolve a ROI analysis framework for storage-related investments, and enable sharing of key insights-cum-best practices in processes, technologies and applications in enterprise storage, IDC, in partnership with Veritas, IBM and Storage Tek, is hosting the Storage Vision 2004 seminar. A part of IDC's highly sought-after Knowledge Seminar series, this event is a unique platform where technology captains can better understand how to marry enterprise storage with that all-important competitive advantage. The event promises accrual of valuable knowledge and interaction with prominent CTOs/CIOs, vendors and research experts….in all, making great business sense.
