Organizations depend on applications to keep their operations running. Any interruption in these business-critical workloads will lead to a certain loss of revenue, disruption in service, or missed opportunities. Companies are also facing challenges with shorter product lifecycles, stringent service-level objectives (SLOs), and continued demands for high availability. To increase competitive advantage in this fast-moving environment, organizations must process thousands of terabytes of data quickly, efficiently, and reliably to accomplish business objectives without incurring costly downtime.
IT leaders need a storage infrastructure that transparently scales in performance and capacity, and an architecture that offers leading high availability from both the platform and data management software so business operations have continual access to the resources needed to make business-critical decisions.
