Changing the Game: Moving from Reactive to Proactive High Availability Luigi Mercone Senior Director, Product Strategy

Storage and Availability Objectives Manage storage growth Improve operations Reduce cost per GB Utilize existing assets Increase availability and DR readiness What isn’t Mission Critical? Maintenance windows shrinking Site consolidation & A-A DR Reduce cost with new technology Server virtualization x86 servers Thin storage
